Inti Creates has officially released Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced on the Nintendo Switch, offering fans and newcomers the definitive collection of the iconic 2D action platformer series.
This carefully curated bundle includes Azure Striker Gunvolt (2014), Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 (2016), and Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 (2022), assembling all three core entries alongside every piece of downloadable content.
For the first time, English-speaking players can also experience stories and audio dramas that were previously exclusive to Japanese releases.
The Gunvolt series has been celebrated for its fast-paced gameplay and intricate, story-driven levels that feature real-time dialogue woven seamlessly into the action.
Players can look forward to over 37 songs performed by beloved in-game characters, immersing them further into the Gunvolt universe.
Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced sets itself apart with a wealth of special content: exclusive gameplay revisions overseen by the series director, newly recorded voice work, and bonus CD dramas that deepen the lore and experience of the franchise.
In an official statement, Inti Creates highlighted their aim of making this trilogy the most comprehensive Gunvolt package ever, emphasizing enhanced action mechanics, polished localization, and expanded narrative content available globally.
Breaking down the three games:
• Azure Striker Gunvolt introduces players to Gunvolt, a lightning-powered Adept fighting for freedom against the oppressive Sumeragi Group.
The Enhanced edition debuts new skills, allowing players to unleash even more powerful abilities.
• In Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, Gunvolt is joined by rival-turned-playable-hero Copen.
Copen's unique playstyle centers on high-speed dashes and lock-on laser barrages, with the Trilogy Enhanced version featuring re-recorded voicework for both Copen and his robotic companion, Lola.
• Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 elevates the action with Kirin, a dynamic heroine armed with the speed of the "Arc Chain" for rapid melee strikes and the ability to switch with Gunvolt mid-battle.
The updated Image Pulse system introduces over 150 collectible buffs and attacks based on fan-favorite characters.
With Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced now available on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop, Inti Creates delivers a must-have collection for fans of classic action platformers—and a seamless entry point for newcomers.
This release continues to underline the studio’s commitment to quality, localization, and the preservation of acclaimed indie franchises on modern Nintendo hardware.
