Item Description

Few launch-window games asked as much of players as Gradius III. Konami's 1989 arcade shooter arrived on the Super Nintendo as part of the system's North American launch in 1991, and it dropped you straight into the cockpit of the Vic Viper against the Bacterion Empire, armed with the series' famous power-up bar.

That bar is the heart of Gradius. Every capsule you collect moves the cursor along, and you decide when to cash in for speed, missiles, lasers or the trailing Options that multiply your firepower. Lose a ship and you lose it all, which makes each run tense and every recovery a small triumph. The Super NES version added a reduced-difficulty option and extra armaments, lets you continue after losing all your lives, and reshuffles the arcade's stages, moving the cell stage to the end. It even carried over the arcade's famous slowdown, which players learned to treat as a free moment to breathe.

This mini reproduction scales down the game's North American Super NES box for display. It is a replica rather than original Konami packaging and not a playable game, and its back panel carries the Mini Box Gaming logo. Alongside the other launch-era releases, it brings back the excitement of a brand-new 16-bit console.
