Irem Collection Vol. 2 sets its sights on a November release

We were totally into the first Irem Collection when it launched towards the end of 2023, so it’s fitting that Volume 2 is about ready to drop, almost exactly a year later, thanks to ININ and partners.

Scheduled for a November 14th release for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox platforms, Irem Collection Vol. 2 will include a trio of Irem shooting classics: GunForce I, GunForce II and Air Duel.  So if you’re in the mood for a little side scrolling Contra-style action or a retro top down shmup, Volume 2 should cover most of your bases.

The digital version will set players back $24.99, though for the physical collection types, there will be a limited $34.99 boxed edition (4000 copies) and an even more limited $89.99 edition (only 2000 copies) thanks to Strictly Limited Games.

Irem: An Arcade Legacy
A mainstay in the arcades of the 80s and 90s, Irem’s games were renowned for their high difficulty level, gorgeous pixel art, and fast-paced action.

Many a quarter or 100 yen coin was spent trying to beat Irem’s extremely challenging but even more addictive masterpieces, earning them the respect of arcade aficionados not just at home in Japan but worldwide.

After last year’s Volume 1, this 2nd volume keeps up the high octane momentum with three more shooters:

GunForce I and II turn you into a one-, or if you grab a friend, two-man army on an explosive mission to save the world! Once you’ve saved the surface the skies await in Air Duel. Hop into a helicopter gunship or a fighter jet and clean up the air!

All Volumes of the Irem Collection come with a variety of extra features:

Rewind and Save-states for a more forgiving experience are an option but if you want to really test your skills shoot for the high score in classic mode and rise through the online leaderboards!

Show the world what you’re made of!
