Daj Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Coming to Japan in three different editions pretty soon: https://spaceinvaders.jp/SIIC/titles.html If you need some Space Invaders dinner plates, perhaps dropping a wad of cash on the Super-duper limited edition will be a good financial decision for you. Some great games in there, there certainly could be many more. Taito keeps putting out new collections of Darius with ever-more games, so perhaps this won't be the last we hear about Space Invaders on Switch. No word of a western release date afaik, but the Switch is region-free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody missed it but is interested, there is a second "launch" in another day I think. It may well end up on the eshop long before SLG ships... probably best to put it out of my mind for now. The priciest Japanese edition came with Space Invaders dinner plates of all things, sadly no such option for the west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooray, I was right, looks like Space Invaders Forever dropped on the 15th: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/space-invaders-forever-switch/ Sounds like it includes Space Invaders Extreme, Space Invaders vs Arkanoid, and Space Invaders Gigamax 4 SE...? Odd that the original would be omitted, if that's the case. Strictly Limited's physical version has already been delayed repeatedly and is currently set to ship "Jan/Feb", which probably means May or something at this rate.

Mockduck Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 This has been so disappointing to see turn into Forever with just three games. Extreme is a personal favorite but still.... And thirty bucks?!?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the limited-edition thing for making money, i guess, but I think they'd make a lot of money by putting it on the US Eshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daj Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 I mean I bought the limited edition and I'm still kinda disgusted, that's some really funny math there... Years-old $20 steam game + years-old $6 smart phone game + gigamax = $30? And apparently the original Space Invaders is some kind of rarity that only collectors are entitled to play? I thought they'd handle it more like the Darius collections, which are pretty overpriced but at least include most of the games. Maybe they'll try to double dip by releasing another collection later, or putting the older games on Arcade Archives or something. I do notice this includes only the three newest games, and possibly the only three that are actually Switch ports and not emulated, so maybe that's how they came up with that list.

Hwlngmad Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Three Space Invader games for $30 would seemingly be a hard pass for a lot of people. While I love compilations, I hate when this collection and others like for Turrican are nothing but just pure, unadulterated cash grabs. It is pathetic imo.

SlidellMan Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Here's Mad Little Pixel's review. To be honest, I think it needed Return of the Invaders (1985), Space Invaders '95/Akkanvader (1995), the DS version of Space Invaders Extreme, Extreme 2, Space Invaders Get Even (2008), and the various 8- and 16-ports. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidD Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Is the new/upcoming US release "complete," or are there still titles missing compared with the Japanese version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks complete. I think even the "not-complete" physical editions got the rest of the games as downloads. On 6/5/2021 at 10:55 AM, tpugmire said: My copy is scheduled for delivery today.

Taito has managed to drag out Darius across a couple of different collections, maybe they'll do the same with Space Invaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded like the only thing missing is the Sega Genesis Space Invaders game, but that was only available as a free DLC bonus through Amazon in Japan... Are you saying that the EXISTING US cartridge release gets the other games now? I thought that cart (Space Invaders Forever) was limited to 3 games...

Are you saying that the EXISTING US cartridge release gets the other games now? I thought that cart (Space Invaders Forever) was limited to 3 games... What I meant to say was: apparently the Japanese physical release of Invincible Collection got Space Cyclone, Lunar Rescue, and Space Invaders DX as free DLC. I think those were previously only included in one of the more expensive versions of Invincible Collection. I don't know if it applies to the US version (if it doesn't yet, I guess it probably will). I did not know about the Genesis game being included anywhere, would be nice to get that... Space Invaders 95/Lunar Loonies is the one people seem most annoyed at being missing, but I'd take pretty much anything (and everything) and I hope there are more to come at some point in some form.
