Valis Collection (Genesis)

Three heroines, three games, one slipcase that ties it all together. The Valis Collection for Nintendo Switch gathers the Valis trilogy under a sleek master slipcase, complete with an acrylic stand featuring all three protagonists and artwork spanning every title in the set. For anyone who remembers Valis from the Mega Drive and PC Engine days, seeing these games preserved in a modern physical release is significant.

The Valis series was a side-scrolling action staple in the late '80s and early '90s, the kind of franchise that defined an era of anime-influenced gaming before that aesthetic became mainstream. The acrylic stand is a smart inclusion. It gives you a display-ready piece that works on a desk or inside a detolf, and the character art across all three heroines makes it a conversation starter for anyone who knows the lineage.

The slipcase format means this collection sits neatly alongside your other curated Switch releases, adding retro credibility to any shelf. It's a clean, focused package that doesn't try to overwhelm you with extras. Just the games, the art, and a display piece that earns its space.
