Aero The Acro-Bat Genesis/Mega-Drive cartridge reprint now up for pre-order from Limited Run Games

Limited Run Games and Sunsoft have teamed up to bring you a new reprint of Aero The Acro-bat (1993) with a box, manual, and high quality translucent “Sparkle Black” cartridge. Pre-orders will be open all throughout November 2024 for just $59.99 USD and the game is estimated to ship to customers in June 2025. The Genesis/Mega-Drive version, as well as the Super Nintendo version, will be available simultaneously. This comes long after LRG’s reprints of Aero The Acro-bat 2 (1995) and Zero The Kamikaze Squirrel (1994). Strange that they decided to sell this trio of games in reverse order of their original releases, but at least now, if you had your chance to get these games, you can finally complete your collection if that’s what you aimed to do.

Unlike Aero 2 or Zero, however, Aero The Acro-Bat on Genesis can still be found very cheap, even complete in box, as of this writing. A brand new copy will currently cost you just over $100, so if you really gotta have a sealed, new copy of Aero The Acro-Bat, LRG’s reprints can be a bargain, as long as you don’t mind the lack of a Sega Seal of Quality. If you just want a copy of Aero for Genesis, you can get a decent copy for a decent price and not have to wait until next Summer to see it. No judgement from us if you got the other two games from LRG and just want to complete your collection of the whole trilogy, though. Fortunately, LRG seems to, at least so far, take printing quality new cartridges more seriously than printing new game discs.

To learn more about this release of Aero The Acro-bat, and to pre-order, glide right in past the break for the skinny.

Here’s the write-up on the game from Limited Run’s pre-order page:

Step right up to the ACRO-BATiest show on earth!

The madman industrialist Edgar Ektor has seized control of The World of Amusement. He and a deranged cast of fairground freaks threaten the circus. The only hope for survival is the high-flying, death-defying AERO THE ACRO-BAT!

Spine-tingling terror unfolds as AERO tackles Ektor’s wicked henchmen. Bungee jump into a battle with evil! Hang on for the ride of your life as you rise and plunge on a roaring roller coaster! Tiptoe across a terrifying tightrope! Then power drill and twist AERO right through every sinister circus enemy imaginable. And all the while, the show must go on!

It could become a carnival of carnage in the World of Amusement. Because the evil Ektor isn’t clowning around… and there’s nothing amusing about that.

Go to Limited Run Games’s Aero The Acro-bat pre-order page here to order either the Genesis or SNES version. (Or both, if you really want.) Remember that this is a 60hz version of the game being printed in cartridges meant for North American Genesis and SNES consoles. Don’t expect this to work right on PAL consoles, but it should work fine on most clone consoles that accept cartridges.
