Cannon Dancer - Osman Collector's Edition (PS5)

The white whale of arcade history, mounted on your PS5 shelf in a box that closes with a magnetic snap. The Cannon Dancer - Osman Collector's Edition for PlayStation 5 is a Strictly Limited Games exclusive limited to just 750 individually numbered copies worldwide. That's one of the tightest runs in the SLG catalog for a game that spent nearly three decades as one of the most sought-after arcade titles in existence.

Cannon Dancer was born when former Capcom developers moved to Mitchell Corp. and built something extraordinary. A side-scrolling action platformer starring Kirin, an acrobatic martial artist fighting through six stages of Persian-Arabian-inspired environments with increasingly psychedelic boss encounters. It hit a handful of Japanese and US arcades in 1996, and the scarcity of those original cabinets turned it into a genuine legend. Collectors have paid extraordinary sums for circuit boards just to play it at home. This PS5 release marks the first time the game has ever appeared on a home console.

The Collector's Edition is loaded with items that honor the game's arcade roots. A magnetic-closure box houses the game on disc with an exclusive cover by Yotsui-san, a colorful manual, an A5 arcade flyer, a reversible A2 poster, arcade marquee stickers, a B5 material book diving into the development process, a metal photo and calendar frame, the 20-track OST on CD mastered from the original game audio, a diorama of the final Teki battle, a tenugui cloth illustrated by Kogure-sama depicting Kirin fighting Abdullah the Slaver, and a metal arcade coin bearing the kanji for "nothing," a reference to Kirin's driving emptiness.

At 750 copies on PS5, this is the rarest Cannon Dancer edition across all platforms. For collectors who want the definitive version of an arcade myth made physical, this is it.
