Taito Milestones out April 15 ⊟
I’ve been obsessive about retro compilations on Switch recently. I want to gobble them all up. Even so, I’m unconvinced about Taito Milestones, the collection of 10 mostly ancient, mostly historically interesting arcade games.
Without knowing a price, I’m not sure how into Alpine Ski or Wild Warriors I’ll be, or how willing I am to try a different version of the Bubble Bobble precursor Chack'n Pop (I have the Famicom cartridge). But The Ninja Warriors is cool, and Qix is always fun. Also, I want everyone to keep making these collections.

Taito Milestones collects very old games on Switch ⊟
Starting with 1981’s Qix, Taito Milestones is a set of 10 arcade games ranging from “classics” to “old.”
Qix, Elevator Action, and The Ninja Warriors are obvious standouts, but this set has a lot of deeper cuts as well, like Wild Western, a game about shooting would-be train robbers off of their horses, and Chack'n Pop, a very challenging direct precursor to Bubble Bobble. Apparently there’s one game yet to be announced, but like, it would be weird for it not to be Space Invaders? Or I guess Bubble Bobble.
This will be published both digitally and physically in the West (with Strictly Limited collections of course, as most ININ/Taito releases have), but… I want the Japanese set with the T-shirt.
Just, uh… $86! Plus, uh… $235 shipping…
