Item Description

Bub and Bob finally made it to the party. Taito Milestones 3 is the volume that brought out the publisher's heaviest hitters, Bubble Bobble and its sequel Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2, and it surrounds them with eight more arcade games drawn from Taito's late-1980s and early-1990s action catalog.

The centerpiece for action fans is the complete Rastan arcade trilogy in one place: Rastan Saga's sword-swinging barbarian platforming, its sequel Rastan Saga II, and Warrior Blade: Rastan Saga Episode III, a side-scrolling brawler presented in the same ultra-wide multi-screen format as Taito's Darius II. Cadash brings a fantasy action-RPG twist with experience levels and towns to visit between dungeons, and Rastan himself turns up as a playable grappler in the 1989 wrestling game Champion Wrestler.

The deeper cuts are where the collection earns its keep. Thunder Fox is a 1990 run-and-gun starring muscle-bound commandos, and its arcade original is a very different experience from the better-known Mega Drive port. Runark, released in the West as Growl, is a gloriously over-the-top brawler about punching out animal poachers that shines with a second player. Dead Connection, a 1992 top-down shooter that pits you against the Mafia in 1950s America, receives its first-ever port here after making little splash in arcades.

Developed by Taito and published by ININ Games, the collection earned a 9 out of 10 from Nintendo Life, which called it one of the best retro collections on the Switch. Having all ten games on a single cartridge, including two that had never appeared on the system before, makes it a compact way to own a serious slice of Taito's coin-op history, from couch co-op bubble-blowing in Bubble Bobble to the widescreen spectacle of Warrior Blade.
