It says physical release only.

I reckon the arcade version is the one to get.

The article has been updated, saying that a digital release is coming early 2020 by another publisher.

A second collection announced for Switch / PS4. No details yet though.

$78

What the fuck

Yeah saw it on the Switch shop and did a double take at the price so I thought might as well see if it's any cheaper on PSN, and it's somehow even more expensive.

 

[k'_127]

Get this. Turns out the $78 collection includes the console ports versions only. Another collection just popped out on PSN for the Arcade ports for $45.

Holy crap that's a lot of money for digital

 

[Heinz]

As soon as you put the word 'Darius' on anything the price skyrockets.

I was just browsing the eShop. Those prices are absurd. Pass.

Yep, $105 for the full package on Switch or $123 on PS4. For digital. I realize that M2 shooter ports tend to be pricey but this didn't even get the actual Shot Triggers treatment unless I'm mistaken.

The PS4 Console games collection on PS4 is now priced similarly to the Switch version ($60).

Sounds like taito is getting greedy with that pricing for digital unless,this is all on there parent company sqaurenix

 

[neo_mao]

What a joke. They are beyond nuts. First of it should be one compilation and secondly the combined compilation shouldn’t cost more than $30 max.

I’m glad I own most of my favorite Darius games on original hardware already. I do think game collections priced this high are kinda ridiculous. Now if I only owned a switch and nothing else then i would probably Begrudgingly buy it.

Sure is great being able to play all these games for FREE in MAME with ultrawide monitors.

What kind of cock sucker would actually pay for this in 2020?

You beat me to it.
