There was previously no official word on Cosmic Fantasy Collection for the west, but that’s now changed with Limited Run Games revealing localization plans which includes a physical release.

For the physical versions, there’ll be a standard copy and deluxe edition. The latter contains a number of extras – a pin, poster, soundtrack CD, and retro slipcover.

Edia has announced a release date for their latest title, Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection III. The game will release for Switch on December 7th in Japan.

Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection III is a collection of five different games from the long-running action-platformer series Valis. This collection contains PC-8801 and Famicom versions of The Fantasm Soldier Valis, the MSX2 version of Valis the Fantasm Soldier (the original game’s western counterpart), the Mega Drive version of Valis III, and the Super Famicom version of Super Valis IV.

Telenet Shooting Collection

Original (11/21): Edia today announced Telenet Shooting Collection, a package of shoot ’em up games originally made by Telenet Japan. There’s no word on specific release timing, but it will be out on Switch sometime after June 2023 in Japan.

Granada (November 1990, Genesis), Avenger (1990, PC Engine), Gaiares (1990, Genesis), and Psychic Storm (1992, PC Engine) will be included.

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.
