Operation Night Strikers Assault Edition (Switch)

Arcade rail shooters belong on cartridges. That's just science. Operation Night Strikers Assault Edition for Nintendo Switch delivers the high-octane Taito shooter with DLC included on the cartridge and a box full of extras that scream arcade authenticity.

The Taito Sound Bullets Soundtrack CD is a highlight, capturing the kind of pulse-pounding audio design that made arcade cabinets impossible to walk past. A fanbook dives into the game's development and design, while an A3-size poster gives you wall-ready art. Reversible titlesheet and the Assault Edition special box complete a package built for display.

Operation Nightstrikers channels the golden age of sit-down arcade cabinets, when rail shooters were the most immersive experience you could have for a few quarters. Getting that experience on a Switch cartridge, complete with the CS DLC pack baked in, is the kind of convenience we didn't have back then. The Assault Edition understands its audience: people who remember the smell of an arcade and want their shelf to reflect it.
