HD restorations of three Taito LaserDisc classics are coming to Nintendo Switch December 14, 2023 in Japan. No word on an international release at this time, hopefully Inin Games picks this up. There is an Amazon Prime Day tie in for a bonus game (Space Battleship Yamato Arcade Edition), with a note that it
may be available at a later date for a fee. Hopefully Taito's Prime Day stuff doesn't have three-digit shipping fees like the last few years.
The collection includes HD Remasters of Time Gal, Space Battleship Yamato, and Ninja Hayate. Time Gal and Ninja Hayate were released on Sega CD in 1993, no other international versions that I am aware of for any of these titles.
Standard Edition costs 9,680円 (~$68) and includes 3 titles:
- Ninja Hayate HD Remastered
- Space Battleship Yamato HD Remastered
Special Edition costs 19,580円 (~$138) and adds:
- Taito LD Game Collection Special Blu-ray Disc
- Taito LD game collection material collection
- "Reika" reprint mini standee
- "Time Gal" reprint mini-poster 2 types
- "Ninja Hayate" reprint pamphlet
- Taito LD game collection sound app (serial code included)
- Game "Time Gal Reverse" (serial code included)
