Switch Limited Run #164: Radiant Silvergun Collector's Edition

Treasure's legendary vertical shooter finally gets the physical treatment it's deserved for decades. Switch Limited Run #164: Radiant Silvergun Collector's Edition for Nintendo Switch is stacked: a physical copy with reversible cover, a chiptune arrangement album and original soundtrack, a collector's edition box housing a retro styled box, a steelbook with slipcase, a "Be Attitude For Gains" keychain, a Merry pin set, and The Origin acrylic diorama. That acrylic diorama is the display piece that ties the whole package together.

Radiant Silvergun has been a holy grail for shmup collectors since its 1998 Saturn release, a game so revered that loose copies commanded serious money for years. Having it on a Switch cartridge inside a steelbook inside a retro box is the kind of layered packaging that makes unboxing feel like an excavation. The "Be Attitude For Gains" keychain references one of gaming's most iconic title screens, and if you know, you know.

The chiptune arrangement adds a fresh take on Hitoshi Sakimoto's incredible score alongside the original tracks. For shoot-em-up collectors, Radiant Silvergun sits at the top of the canon. This collector's edition finally gives it physical packaging worthy of that status.
