The Story Behind Mach Breakers
On September 4, 2025, the game got ported for the first time on home consoles as part of the Arcade Archives series. is a sports arcade game released by Namco in 1995; it runs on Namco NB-2 hardware and is the sequel to Numan Athletics, released in 1993 two years prior.
How Mach Breakers Plays
The players must take control of up to seven new (and selectable) Numans: All seven of these new Numans have different speed and power levels, and if less than four players are present, the CPU will randomly select up to three of the other Numans to compete against them (but they will be differently-colored); the competition takes place over five days, and on the second, third and fourth ones, there are three (four on the third day) different events that must be qualified for. If any player fails to qualify for an event on these days, they lose and will have to insert another coin and continuing in order to try again. Each of the Numans has their own unique ending sequence (much like the four lords from Exvania), which means a player will have to finish the game with all seven of them to see them all.
The starter lights on the "Hyper Glider" event also look like Pac-Man, and a picture of him also appears on the side of a passing airship (along with Prince Gilgamesh and Princess Ki from The Tower of Druaga, Momo Kanda from Wonder Momo, Valkyrie from Valkyrie no Densetsu, Hiromi Tengenji from Burning Force, and Pitt and Patti from Tinkle Pit), while Miyuki Chan (from Ordyne) can get seen running a "Prince Paco" (from Marvel Land) taco stand, and the Dig Dug characters can be seen in the "Ground Spike" event as the crack a Numan makes in the ground goes deeper. is a sports arcade game released by Namco in 1995; it runs on Namco NB-2 hardware and is the sequel to Numan Athletics, released in 1993 two years prior.
