Cosmic Fantasy Collection coming to Switch in Japan
Edia has announced that Cosmic Fantasy Collection will be making its way over to Switch. The game is set to release in Japan on December 15, 2022.
Cosmic Fantasy Collection, as the name suggests, is a collection of two previous Cosmic Fantasy games, Cosmic Fantasy: Adventure Boy Yuu, and its sequel, Cosmic Fantasy 2: Adventure Boy Van. These games are RPGs originally released on PC-Engine (known as the TurboGrafx-16 in the West) in 1990 and 1991 respectively. They are sci-fi space-faring adventures, notable for being some of the first games to utilize anime-style cutscenes and voice acting to portray important story moments. Cosmic Fantasy 2 was also the only title in the seven-game franchise to release outside of Japan, making its way to North America in 1992.
Here is an announcement trailer for Cosmic Fantasy Collection:
Cosmic Fantasy Collection will launch in Japan with a price tag of 7,480 yen, along with a limited edition retailing for 14,080 that will include a copy of the game, its original soundtrack, and an original booklet. No information has been provided regarding a potential Western release for the title.
