Finally got my Psikyo Shooting Library Vol 1 LE set! Can’t wait to play Strikers 1999, will the first time in years playing it on actual hardware since regrettably selling my PCB of the game many years ago. Anyways, this is a reeeallllly nice LE. Love how the binder securely contains all the arcade flyers and art books.

Time for some TATE Strikers 1999/1945 III. Interestingly the cart detects what region your system is on and changes to NA region title screen and English menus. As @ShinJohnpv pointed out, the cart just loads the games directly into your system menu. Kinda wish there was a proper, dedicated collection menu like other compilations but that’s a small gripe. This is an amazing LE and six games on one cart is a great value. I already owned the digital versions of Strikers 1, 2 and Dragon Blaze but obviously having a physical cart + LE and three games I don’t currently have all obviously trumped that.
Edit: Just saw that the cart also uses pre-existing save data for any digital versions of the titles you have so any high scores or screen filter preferences you may have had on any given digital version all carries over. Example, I just booted Strikers 1945 I and all of my hard earned high scores and my “type 3” screen filter from my digital copy were automatically loaded. Thought that was really cool, guess there is actually an advantage to not having a dedicated hub on the collection.

That binder looks spectacular. I can definitely see flipping through that from time to time. I really should order a copy. Thanks for sharing.

Pre-orders are up on Amazon JP for Esp Ra De physical release for both Switch and PS4. It does ship to the US.
There are versions with and with out Amazon pre-order bonus. There’s also regular and limited editions. I’ll start with switch, and itll go regular with out bonus, then with, then limited with out, then with.
Now PS4, same order
I got my pre-order in with the quickness for the limited Switch version. This is my favorite vertical shooter of all time.

Thank you for the heads up, I got my Switch preorder in for the LE.
What’s the Prime bonus and were you able to get it? I hear getting JP Amz Prime bonuses is a pain.
I did order the one with the prime bonus, but they haven’t announced what it is yet.
How did you use Prime to get the bonus? I heard JP Prime won’t work unless you have a Japanese address you can use?
I have a Tenso Japanese address tied to my account so maybe from that.

This is awesome news. X Multiply is really good, reminds me of Xexex with the appendages coming off the ship.
Hopefully this means an R-Type Leo release isn’t too far behind.

That’s fucking awesome, I always wanted to play that game.
Yeah, and considering the only previous way to play it legally was the super expensive Saturn and PSX ports, this is a steal at 7.99.
And apparently it’s out as of today. Talk about a stealth drop!

Yeah I avoided the ports because of their price, but now I can finally play the arcade version on a console! Also, nice!
I’m pretty sure it was known this was coming for awhile. That it dropped today might be new news, though. I know I saw at least a month ago that it was going to be available.
This is literally the 1st time I heard of it coming to Switch.
Yeah… June…
Ah, back in June eh? Can’t believe I miss this news!
Hmmm, I might look into using Tenso then. Wonder if there is gonna be a BEEP version though…
I did see some one mention a beep version and a cardboard box with it.
