Briefing

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!
