Darius Cozmic Collection Is Finally Getting An eShop Release On Switch

wow very fast

Ah, that collector's edition at a more reasonable price, albeit digital. That limited edition physical version was a bit too steep for me (~$150-ish). Gotta wishlist this on my Japanese account and see if they'll drop the price further during a sale or something.

NEED THIS IN THE WEST/AMERICA BADLY!! Even if it comes digital only!! Cmon!!

@masterLEON i picked up the import for $58 but I’m afraid it doesn’t have the extra bonus console games! Needs to come west!! 😉😊

@masterLEON Standard physical is about 30.

in typical fashion for NL you didn't do any research and just used the prices you saw in the tweet. these are the prices without tax..you have to add 8 % to get the actual prices.

@YANDMAN All the stores I found it at in Japan had it for a bit over 5000 yen, most online retailers also have it at around 50$, not 30.

I did pick it up recently, as I had to prioritize other games while in Japan, but I am extremely pissed off at how the Collector's Edition comes with twice as many games, but costs 5 times as much due to things that I'm honestly not interested in...I just wanted all the games, but I wasn't willing to pay an extra 200$ for them. Had they priced it at 80$ and included the console games as well I'd been happy.

@joey302 you can get it from japan eshop

I hope this gets to the West too, and then I'll buy it when it's on sale. Keeping half of the games in the collector's edition only is one of the worst policies I've ever seen in video games. This way we can get all the games without the goodies too, although they'll have to be digital sadly.

Hopefully it will come here.

@Mach_Rider I paid 30 for mine on play asia but it was some time ago now. The other games that are missing are all inferior ports anyway. When you have the actual arcade versions on which those ports are based i see no point in including them. Now G-Darius would of been a worthy inclusion.

@YANDMAN

It is $50 USD on Play Asia at the moment. You must have caught it on sale or something. $30 is the lowest price I've heard of for the game, definitely not standard.

@RushDawg I pre-ordered it about a year before it's release.

But I don't want the digital version, I want those physical edition like Japan. Why can't we get them too?

I loved G-Darius on my PSX. If it's not to expensive, i'll get this one too.

So that amazon version that includes the Game Boy game as well is still a physical exclusive.
@retro_player_22 Not like $100 more for two more games plus three more variations of the base games.

@YANDMAN Got mine at Play-Asia too, but paid close to 50 for it. Guess you got lucky

I thought some of the other games were original games in the series, not just ports. If it's ports only, I can live with it

I was really hoping they'd put those (especially the limited edition games) on the Japanese eShop. Obviously my biggest hope was that they'd put it on the American eShop, but at least I can somewhat easily buy the collection now without resorting to buying a nasty physical edition.

@bluesdance yes I know thx but avoided doing that by picking up the physical import instead. ☺️

It would be great, if you already have the standard physical version, if you could just pay the difference to download an upgrade for the collector version...

@Mach_Rider The other games are the Master System, Megadrive and PC Engine versions of Darius.
