Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel is set to return, this time around bringing the fun across various platforms. Originally released for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive back in October 1994 and later for Super Nintendo Entertainment System, now you can experience the thrill of gameplay on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch in 2024.

What aspect of the original gameplay are you most excited about revisiting in this 2024 release?

"Zero the Kamikaze"? really? Kinda crass even by 90s standards.

I played it a bit a decade or so ago. I never really got the hang of the main, game-defining mechanic; one of the main methods of movement in the world was to jump from a high point and build momentum while gliding to get higher, but that was also the main way to deal damage, iirc. It was very strange.

As for the crassness, the original Worms game had a self-destruct attack that was about as direct, iirc.
