Reclaim Prince Dorin's Kingdom!

Developed by Intelligent Systems, Dragon Hopper was largely complete and due for release in 1996, but went unreleased until 2026 as part of the Nintendo Classics collection. Due to trademark conflicts, this release was referred to under the name "D-Hopper" in English marketing materials, though the game itself retains its original title.

In this action title, leap and fly across floating floors and defeat enemies blocking your path to advance. When you locate each of the four missing spirits, you'll be able to transform into a dragon that wields special techniques!

Storyline

When prime minister Lexer stages a rebellion in the faraway land of Celestia and sends pursuers after Prince Dorin, the prince is cornered and ultimately falls deep underground. Now, having been rescued by fairies, it's time for Prince Dorin to return home and seek four spirits who have gone missing from Faeron along the way.
