Taito Milestones – 10 Classics Coming Soon! (UPDATED)

UPDATE! The mystery tenth game is in, and it’s Space Seeker! A hybrid of strategy and shooting, 1981’s Space Seeker has you battling for victory against ever-approaching waves of enemy air forces in 3D, and mobile fortresses in 2D. Use the map to track your foes, but stay in one place too long and your bases will be overrun, losing you a life!

Now back to our original announcement…

I might not post a lot of news, but when I do it’s good news! ININ Games together with legendary studio TAITO has just announced a special collection, and it’s a veritable time travel back to the 80s! The TAITO MILESTONES collection includes ten awesome games for Nintendo Switch, each representing a breakthrough in development and gaming history.

While TAITO themselves will release the collection in Japan, the Western release will follow through publisher ININ Games. TAITO MILESTONES will be available for pre-order as Limited and Collector’s Edition at the Strictly Limited Games Partner Store starting November 25th, 2021, followed by the pre-order start of the boxed edition at the retail stores and the digital version soon after.

Sports, shooter, puzzle and platformer games and more – this collection’s got something for every retro game enthusiast and now those ten titles will be available for the first time as a collection on a modern console.
