Taito Milestones 2 [Switch]

On the heels of last year’s first Taito Milestones comes a new collection with more of Taito’s arcade classics. A lively mixture of genres from shoot ‘em ups and platformers to fighting games awaits arcade aficionados everywhere. This selection of 10 significant games contains the roots of some of Taito’s most prolific franchises like the shrine maiden action title Kiki Kaikai (of Pocky & Rocky fame), as well as more exotic and positively offbeat titles like the prehistoric fighting game Dino Rex. Of course, it also includes games like The NewZealand Story and Liquid Kids, whose colorful art style is emblematic of typical Taito platformer action.

Finally, fans of shoot ‘em ups can rejoice as they’ll be able to get their hands on Gun Frontier, Metal Black and Darius II, 3 action-packed vertical- and side-scrollers.

Taito Milestones 2 combines a selection from Taito’s library of gaming gems into a package sure to entertain everyone!
