Jitsu Squad (PS5)

Some brawlers earn their spot through nostalgia. Jitsu Squad earns it by being genuinely, relentlessly fun. Jitsu Squad for PlayStation 5 is the standard edition, limited to a maximum of 1,000 copies worldwide, exclusively available through Strictly Limited Games and ININ Games. It ships with a colorful manual and a reversible cover design, clean on the inner side with no age ratings or technical clutter.

That reversible cover is a small detail that collectors notice immediately. It's the difference between a game that sits on your shelf looking like retail stock and one that looks like it belongs in a curated collection. Flip the cover, display the clean artwork, and let the game speak for itself.

And it speaks loudly. Four playable characters with unique upgrade paths, 100-plus chain combos, infinite juggles, and super specials that border on psychedelic. Up to four players locally, tag team mode for two-player squads, and fighting game input commands that are a deliberate nod to the 90s arcade era. The soundtrack by Crush 40's Johnny Gioeli gives every fight the energy of a boss encounter. Eight planets, waves of unique enemies, and a storyline involving cursed animal warriors and a demon stone called the Kusanagi.

At 1,000 copies on PS5, this standard edition is scarcer than many games' collector's editions. The individually numbered run and reversible cover make it a clean, display-ready addition to any PS5 library. Sometimes you don't need the loaded box. Sometimes you just need the game, the art, and the numbers to back it up.
