Darius fans have got no end of options on Nintendo Switch. Having already seen two Cozmic Collections launch for both arcade and home console entries, it was announced last June that a third collection called Darius Cozmic Revelation would join the ranks, featuring G-Darius HD and Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+. We knew this re-release would include new features, and developer Taito has now confirmed what we can expect.
Outlined in a new press release, G-Darius contains several wallpapers to view whilst playing but, more notably, includes a new "Teatro 50 (EX)-Style Vibration" feature. Named after the arcade cabinet it ran on, this addition is designed to recreate vibrations that occurred during specific arcade scenes.
Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+ has a wider list of new features. Like G-Darius, it also features a new vibration option for your controller but with a larger focus on sound design, designed to replicate how it felt sitting in the original arcade unit. There's also a replay mode to view how top players earned their scores and a "Ghost Score Display" that plays back your previous performance.
Launching on February 25th in Japan, a Western release date is still unconfirmed at this time. It's worth noting that a physical print was announced back in September via Strictly Limited Games and currently, their store pages advise that Revelation is expected to ship around February/March.
For the collectors out there, pre-orders are still available too, so we're hoping to see this arrive soon.
Did you pick up the previous Darius collections? Will you be buying Revelations when it launches? Let us know in the comments.

Hi Taito can you throw us a chase hq collection or anything chase hq related? Many thanks xxxx
No mention how many hundreds of dollars does Taito want this time. That's the decision maker.
Definitely would've picked up the previous arcade collection, if it wasn't so exorbitantly expensive that is.
Can we have a discount on the other games available? I can't spend that much $$
Would love to see crime city, Operation Wolf, Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands hit the Switch. A few Taito shooters like Flying Shark would do nicely as well!
horribly overpriced, which is a shame bc the series is dope
The last Darius collection was way too expensive. Taito would make way more money by selling the games at a competitive price. I bet most people who were interested, decided not to buy because of the price.
I hope there's more features to announce cause these are underwhelming. I don't how how a controller rumbling would simulate loud speakers.
I'm obsessed with the Darius series. Still waiting for the release date on this. I have the digital versions of Darius cozmic collection arcade and console on my ps4 but I heard the Nintendo Switch version of this will have a bonus game (Darius Gameboy game) so I definitely wanna grab the switch version. A release date would be nice though.
