Switch Limited Run #250: VALIS: The Fantasm Soldier Collection III Collector's Edition

The Valis series has been MIA for decades, and this collection brings back three of its wildest entries. Switch Limited Run #250: VALIS: The Fantasm Soldier Collection III Collector's Edition for Nintendo Switch gathers rare Valis titles that most Western players never had access to, making this a genuine preservation piece. The collector's box is stacked.

A three-disc soundtrack covers the music across all included games, which is a deep cut for audio collectors who appreciate TurboGrafx and Mega Drive era compositions. The Fantasm Jewel metal pin and PVC Valis Shield keychain pull directly from the series' lore, giving fans tangible pieces of a franchise that's been dormant far too long. A reversible 12x16 poster and art prints fill out the package with visual material that showcases the series' distinctive anime-inspired aesthetic.

For collectors who track down obscure Japanese action platformers, Valis holds a special place. These were games that pushed hardware with ambitious cutscenes and fast-paced combat, and having them compiled and preserved on a Switch cart with this level of extras is something that would've seemed impossible a few years ago. The Fantasm Soldier Collection III specifically digs into the deeper cuts of the franchise, which makes this CE a magnet for completionists and retro enthusiasts alike.
