R-Type Delta: HD Boosted Physical Edition Coming to Nintendo Switch via Limited Run Games

R-Type Delta: HD Boosted, the enhanced reimagining of the acclaimed PlayStation shoot 'em up classic, is set to make its anticipated debut on the Nintendo Switch later this year.

Developed to offer a revitalized high-definition experience of Irem’s iconic horizontal-scrolling shooter, R-Type Delta: HD Boosted captures the spirit of the original while leveraging the modern capabilities of Nintendo’s popular hardware platform. For dedicated fans and collectors, Limited Run Games has announced an exciting opportunity: the release of physical editions for R-Type Delta: HD Boosted on the Nintendo Switch.

Sales will begin shortly, with two distinct options available to suit different preferences.

Gamers can opt for the standard retail package or pursue the premium Collector’s Edition, officially titled the 'Full Force Edition'. The Full Force Edition of R-Type Delta: HD Boosted is designed for enthusiasts eager for a comprehensive collector’s set.

In addition to the Nintendo Switch game cartridge, buyers will receive a specially designed box, a detailed game booklet, a double CD featuring the official soundtrack, an exclusive fan book, a striking lenticular poster, a 25x18-inch cloth poster, and a set of art cards.

This edition is priced at $79.99, reflecting the array of included collectibles.

For players seeking just the game in physical form, the standard edition is offered at a more accessible $39.99. In an official statement, Limited Run Games clarified that this release will not be part of their numbered series, ensuring flexibility for collectors concerned about maintaining a complete LRG catalog.

This approach provides reassurance for fans who may be selective about their physical library additions. R-Type Delta: HD Boosted capitalizes on modern graphical fidelity, delivering high-resolution visuals that significantly enhance the polygonal designs of the beloved PlayStation original.

The Nintendo Switch edition introduces a newly developed Practice Mode, ideal for both new players and longtime fans aiming to refine their shooting skills to match the sharpened aesthetics.

According to the official synopsis, the HD update breathes fresh life into the franchise, ensuring players experience R-Type Delta as never before on the hybrid console. The digital version of R-Type Delta: HD Boosted is scheduled for release via the Nintendo eShop on November 20, 2025.

Physical preorders through Limited Run Games will begin one week ahead of this launch, providing both longtime series supporters and newcomers unprecedented access to the latest entry in one of gaming’s most enduring shooter franchises. With its mix of classic gameplay, HD visuals, and thoughtfully curated collector’s content, R-Type Delta: HD Boosted on Nintendo Switch is poised to appeal to both nostalgic fans and modern audiences alike.
