Jaleco Arcade Collection for Nintendo Switch: Vol.1 and Vol.2 Arrive This Winter

Jaleco Arcade Collection Vol.1 and Vol.2 are scheduled to launch this winter for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and PC, according to a store listing on Steam. The compilations are a collaboration between Jaleco and Gravity Game Arise and gather classic arcade titles from Jaleco’s 1980s and 1990s back catalog. Each volume is confirmed to include 16 games, bringing a broad slice of retro arcade action to modern platforms. The Steam page confirms core quality-of-life features players expect from contemporary retro releases. Users can switch between Japanese and overseas versions of supported games and will have access to rewind, save states with multiple slots, rapid-fire customization and full button remapping. The listing describes the two releases as a variety-packed lineup and notes that additional titles will be announced at a later date. Announced game lists (as shown on the Steam store): Jaleco Arcade Collection Vol.1 includes City Connection, Aeroboto (Formation Z), Field Combat, Pig's & Bomber's, P-47: The Freedom Fighter, Saint Dragon, Shingen Samurai-Fighter, The Astyanax (The Lord of King), Cybattler, Naughty Boy and other titles to reach a total of 16. Jaleco Arcade Collection Vol.2 includes Exerion, Argus, Earth Defense Force (E.D.F.), Makai Densetsu, Iga Ninjutsu Den, Plus Alpha, Pop Flamer, Rod Land, Soldam, Avenging Spirit (Phantasm) and additional entries to complete its 16-game roster. Several entries in these collections have previously appeared in Hamster’s Arcade Archives series and some Jaleco classics are also available through Nintendo Switch Online’s Nintendo Classics service. The new compilations aim to provide selectable regional ROMs and modern conveniences, mirroring practices common to recent retro packages on Switch, PC and console storefronts. For Nintendo Switch owners, these collections will be distributed via the eShop on release. Gravity Game Arise and Jaleco’s partnership brings renewed official support for these arcade titles on current hardware; the Steam listing is the primary source for the release window and feature set announced so far. Further details, including the remaining games and exact release date, will be published by the publisher and on platform storefronts as they become available. Readers who followed Jaleco’s arcade output in the 80s and 90s will find a number of familiar names in the initial lists — let us know which titles you’re most excited to see return.
