Play-Asia has officially announced the exclusive physical release of Telenet Shooting Collection 1 + 2 for the Nintendo Switch, offering fans of retro shoot ’em up games a comprehensive package from Telenet Japan’s classic catalog.

This new edition, which will also be compatible with the upcoming Switch 2 console, brings together eight celebrated action titles in one collectible release, preserving the legacy of the original developer while introducing these iconic games to a new generation.

In addition to the standard edition, Play-Asia is offering a limited edition version packed with unique extras targeted at dedicated collectors.

The limited edition includes an exclusive mini case, a USB stick card modeled after the classic PC Engine HuCard design, a full-color art book, a set of Joy-Con stickers, a character magnet, and a numbered certificate of authenticity.

These premium items are designed to celebrate the historical significance and enduring appeal of Telenet Japan’s shooters.

According to the official overview provided by Play-Asia, this specially curated bundle combines both Telenet Shooting Collection 1 and Telenet Shooting Collection 2 in a single Asia English physical package.

Notably, the entire set features English box art packaging and offers full compatibility with both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 hardware.

For the first time, international fans will be able to experience these classic shooters together in one definitive edition.

Telenet Shooting Collection 1 features four essential titles:

• Granada (1990, Genesis)

• Avenger (1990, PC Engine)

• Gaiares (1990, Genesis)

• Psychic Storm (1992, PC Engine)

Telenet Shooting Collection 2 continues the legacy with:

• Kiaidan 00 (1992, PC Engine)

• Final Zone II (1990, PC Engine)

By uniting them under the Telenet Shooting Collection label, the release captures the essence of classic Japanese shoot ’em ups for both veterans and newcomers alike.

Pre-orders for the Telenet Shooting Collection 1 + 2 physical edition on Nintendo Switch will open on April 2, 2026, exclusively through Play-Asia’s online storefront.
