Taito Announces Taito Milestones 4 for Nintendo Switch: Release Date, Price, and Full Game Lineup Revealed
Longtime fans of classic arcade experiences have reason to celebrate: Taito has officially unveiled Taito Milestones 4, the next installment in its popular retro compilation series for Nintendo Switch.
The announcement was made during a special Famitsu livestream, providing concrete details on the upcoming collection’s release, pricing, and included titles—continuing Taito's tradition of preserving arcade history for modern audiences. Taito Milestones 4 is scheduled for release in Japan on March 26, 2026, and is set to retail at 5,720 yen (tax included).
Pre-orders are already live on major Japanese online retailers such as Amazon Japan, the Square Enix Store, and Kadokawa Games’ Ebten, as well as through selected brick-and-mortar stores across the country. Confirmed Games for Taito Milestones 4 The fourth volume in the Taito Milestones collection delivers an impressive blend of well-known classics and hidden gems from Taito’s extensive arcade legacy.
The ten featured games are: - Water Ski (1983) - Field Day/Sports Day (1984) - Typhoon Gal (1985) - Bonze Adventure (1988) - Kuri Kinton (1988) - Don Doko Don (1989) - The Ninja Kids (1990) - Arkanoid (1986) - Syvalion (1988) - Cameltry (1989) Of these titles, seven are already available individually on the Nintendo Switch as part of the Arcade Archives series by Hamster Corporation.
However, three titles—Arkanoid, Syvalion, and Cameltry—are exclusive to this new collection at launch, offering fans unique value and incentive to pick up the package. Arkanoid, the enduringly popular block-breaker game that has graced multiple home computers and consoles since its original debut, needs little introduction.
In contrast, Syvalion and Cameltry cater to enthusiasts seeking deeper cuts from Taito’s back catalog: Syvalion, created by Bubble Bobble designer Fukio Mitsuji, features a dragon-themed shmup experience, while Cameltry challenges players with its distinctive ball-rolling maze mechanics. Celebrating Taito’s Arcade Heritage on Nintendo Switch Since its inception, the Taito Milestones series has been developed in partnership with Hamster Corporation, recognized for their work on the Arcade Archives lineup.
These collections provide fans and collectors with curated selections of emulated arcade classics, often featuring games making their first appearance on Nintendo Switch.
Typically, this approach offers a preview of future additions to the Arcade Archives library. The previous release, Taito Milestones 3, launched in 2024, and anticipation has been steadily building for news on the next entry.
The latest announcement was complemented by the confirmation of an upcoming Famitsu livestream event, hosted by voice actress Marie Miyake, Famitsu staff member Dedeo, and Taito Milestones producer Yuichi Toyama, with appearances by additional special guests.
The event, scheduled for December 10th, 2025 at 8 PM JST, will be streamed on Famitsu’s official YouTube channel, offering further insights for fans and collectors alike. Taito Milestones 4 underscores Taito’s continued commitment to bringing influential and nostalgic arcade experiences to new audiences on Nintendo Switch.
With a mix of sought-after classics and rare titles, the collection reinforces the enduring appeal of retro gaming in the digital era.
