Taito LD Game Collection Announced for Switch

Taito LD Game Collection was announced for the Nintendo Switch. If you don’t know, the “LD” stands for “LaserDisc.” Included in this collection are the following games:

• Time Gal HD Remaster
• Space Battleship Yamato HD Remaster
• Ninja Hayate HD Remastered

The last Taito collection I covered was Ray’z Arcade Chronology. It’s an excellent collection. Check it out on my YouTube channel.

As for the details regarding this collection, the entire site is in Japanese, so I used Chrome to translate it. Here are the translations pertaining to each game, directly from the site:

Time Gal HD Remaster

Released as an arcade game from Taito, and later ported to home-use game consoles.
An HD remastered action game in which Reika, the ace of the historical security police, goes back in time and tracks down the future great villain Luda, who stole a time machine and fled to the past.

At the time of its release, the character of the main character, Reika, was very popular, and due to the wide variety of reactions when you made a mistake in input, it was popular to play by making a mistake and having fun.

Space Battleship Yamato HD Remaster

Appeared as Taito’s second laserdisc animation game. This work is the first consumer transplant, and it is HD remastered. In the game, you will conquer four star systems in Space Battleship Yamato.Aim to clear the stage by avoiding enemy attacks and shooting down enemies along the way.

The first of Taito’s laserdisc animation games. After that, HD remastering of the work ported to the home game machine.

The princess has been kidnapped by an evil ninja army. Hearing this news, Hayate sneaks into the evil ninja army’s castle alone to save the princess. Countless traps, continuous attacks from the ninja army, and bloodthirsty monsters await.

The game will be available in “Normal” and “Special Edition” options. The options are as follows:

Normal only includes the games.Normal only includes the games.

The “Special Edition” includes the games and these options:

• “Reika” reprint mini standee
• “Time Gal” reprint mini-poster 2 types
• “Ninja Hayate” reprint pamphlet

I’m not really familiar with any of these games. Taito has a great collection of retro games, and I am always interested in seeing new ones.
