Irem Collection Volume 1 - 5 Limited Edition Bundle (Nintendo Switch)

Five volumes, one slipcase, and the complete legacy of one of arcade gaming's most important studios in your hands. The Irem Collection Volume 1 through 5 Limited Edition Bundle for Nintendo Switch is a Strictly Limited Games exclusive, limited to 3,000 individually numbered copies worldwide and the only physical edition available outside Japan.

This bundle spans the breadth of Irem's legendary catalog. Volume 1 delivers Image Fight, Image Fight II, and X Multiply, three shmups that defined the genre in the late 80s and early 90s. Volume 2 brings GunForce, GunForce II, and Air Duel, the run 'n' gun titles that directly birthed Metal Slug. Volume 3 features Mr. Heli/Battle Chopper, Mystic Riders, and Dragon Breed. Volumes 4 and 5 round out the set with titles still being finalized, teasing fighting games and platformers respectively.

The exclusive slipcase ties all five volumes together into a unified display piece that no individual purchase can replicate. Each volume comes as its own Limited Edition Switch release with individual numbering, meaning your shelf gets five spines plus the slipcase housing them. For collectors who think in terms of complete sets rather than individual pickups, this is the definitive approach. Irem's influence on arcade history runs deep, from pioneering shmup mechanics to laying the groundwork for SNK's most famous franchise. Having that entire lineage represented in one cohesive physical collection, on cartridges, with no digital-only gaps, is the kind of thing we build shelves for.
