Description
Spy Hunter sequel featuring a transformable vehicle battling enemy forces. Published by Sunsoft, released in Europe in 1992. Vehicle in top-down view transforming between car, boat and motorcycle and varied bosses. Sequel to the Spy Hunter classic on NES.
European PAL edition of Sunsoft's Spy Hunter sequel, released in 1992 at the very tail end of the NES's European life. PAL runs from this period are markedly scarcer than their NTSC counterparts, widening the price gap. The interest rests on the game's respected Sunsoft pedigree combined with the genuine difficulty of finding a complete European copy.
An underrated gem
This frantic riff on Spy Hunter sends a transformable vehicle into vertical chases packed with clever ideas and inventive bosses. Repetitive over the long haul and given almost no visibility, it was judged harshly at launch. Fans of old-school motorized shooters will find a pace and variety they never saw coming.
Is Super Spy Hunter still worth playing in 2026?
A Sunsoft sequel to the classic Spy Hunter, Super Spy Hunter turns the armed chase into a vertical scrolling shooter of exemplary snappiness, where the vehicle transforms and faces waves of enemies and colossal bosses. The fluidity, the variety of situations and the well measured difficulty make it one of the console's best vehicular shooters. The catchy soundtrack and the polished presentation carry through the years. For a fan of demanding retro shooting or someone curious about Sunsoft's craft, the title keeps an intact intensity and action pleasure.
