Sure thing! Let’s dive into a wild ride back to the arcade days. I mean, Irem Collection Volume 3 — yeah, it’s out there and ready to get into your console, digitally, no less. Funny how things change, huh?
So, ININ, Tozai, and Irem got together — like an old band reuniting—but this time they’re pushing out some rad shooters. Think late 80s to early 90s classics back in your face. Sounds fun, right?
And what do we have here? Mr. Heli, 1987 hitting you with that whole “cute ’em up” vibe. You know, when shooters were adorable yet somehow still stole all my quarters. Then there’s Mystic Riders, straight out of ’92, with your broomsticks and all sorts of boom. And Dragon Breed is in there too — riding dragons never looked cooler. Or maybe that’s just me and my love for fiery beasts doing the heavy lifting.
Each one dances to its own beat, throwing curveballs at you from every angle. Back then, these games gobbled quarters like they were snacks. No joke. But now? They’re refreshed, jazzed up, and — oh, options galore, folks. I mean, who knew I needed a map for my buttons? Isn’t technology neat?
If you’re like me and appreciate a hack-and-slash of settings, you’re in luck. Remap those controls! Want the fire button on that odd corner button? Go for it. Just want to chill and shoot non-stop? Autofire is your friend, especially if you’re keen on saving your thumb for other day-to-day activities.
Now, you’ve got save slots and a rewind button, which honestly feels like cheating—but it’s a fun kind of cheating we’re all about now. If you haven’t braved the unforgiving blinking lights and beeps of old arcades, oh boy, you’re gonna need these. Ambushes are everywhere, and bosses? They take no prisoners—seriously.
Oh, and I got lost in the vibe with display filters. CRT-style graphics? Whoa, talk about a nostalgia spike right to the heart. Or maybe a fresh palette is more your thing. Anyway—whether you want pixel-perfect replicas or something snazzy, there’s a setting for you.
Competitive spirits rejoice—global leaderboards mean you’re battling the best. Or, well, at least you can watch your dreams of leaderboard dominance crumble slowly. Fun, right?
Don’t sleep on Irem Collection Volume 3 while it’s on Xbox, either. Volumes 1 and 2, they’re there too. But more on that later—or never. Just know, there’s more where this came from!
Hey, if quirks, magic, and missiles are your thing, you’ve got yourself a collection—everything else, leave out at the arcades. Enjoy the chaos!
