Arc System Works Asia has revealed Psikyo Collection Vol. 3 for Nintendo Switch, continuing the recent trend of physical arcade shooter collections for the console.
Today actually sees the release of Psikyo Collection Vol. 2 with English language support, but that hasn't stopped the publisher from excitedly sharing this news of the third instalment. Volume 3 will feature Strikers1945 Ⅲ, Sengoku Cannon, Gunbarich and Zero Gunner 2. As you can likely tell from past collections, all four games are side-scrolling or vertically-scrolling shooters.
The release date for this new collection is expected to be shared soon, so make sure to keep an eye out if you're hoping to add it to your gaming library. You can get your hands on Volume 1 and Volume 2 now from PlayAsia.

Well, let's hope they start bringing them to the West, because that Korean edition is kind of expensive with shipping costs from Play-Asia and all.
Had Volume 1 when released by PlayAsia and currently waiting for Volume 2 which is in a shipping container somewhere.
So being that I've got the first 2 it's only fare that I get 3.
Got a flip grip via Kickstarter coming my way at some point so it would be rude to not have games to use it with. Guess it’s getting bought
@Mr_Pepperami I decided to stop buying vertical shmups until my Flip Grip arrives. Can't wait. Feel like I should probably pick up these collections now instead of the individual releases...
@Moroboshi876 Never gonna happen.
@YANDMAN Do you care to elaborate?
@BionicDodo yeah I did the same. Honestly can’t wait for it to show up. Really tempted by these collections and also the SNK 40th anniversary collection as that has all the Imari warriors and a few more that can be played in TATE. Have to say that Kickstarter has been amazing. Constant updates and videos on the product and where they were with it. Wish more were like that.
@Moroboshi876 These are never going to get a Western physical release.
@YANDMAN OK, I see what you're doing here.
@Moroboshi876 Ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It's pretty awesome that Strikers 1945 III (aka Strikers 1999) will be included. This is the games first home console release.
SOLD!
(Yes that is all I had to say Mr website message.)
Waiting for a collection with all volumes
This is less appealing to me than Vol 1 (which a shop managed to get and I bought) and Vol 2 since I already bought Gunbarich... Otherwise if I can find it, I'll buy it.
They've somehow managed to make sure each of these volumes has one of the games I've already bought digitally. Vol. 1 has the original Strikers, Vol. 2 has Sengoku Blade, Vol. 3 has Zero Gunner 2.
wha...I just finally got 1 and 2 and now they have 3???
Strikers 3 hopefully coming to eshop...
I'll buy this one for Strikers 3 and Gunbarich
@Neopolss Well they sell for £7 each on the eshop so that's obviously £ 28. Add in manufacturing costs and it still costs less than buying them digital. I paid £24 on each collection. How is that not worth it?
@NinChocolate is that yo yogi bear?
Idk I always liked shumps when I was younger but never bought or even rented any. I didn't start buying shmups until dreamcast. Now I can't get enough of them. Got all the us release of for Xbox 360 got the gradius collections download some off the psn!
@Geostyle yup!
