Taito has announced that it will be taking a trip back to its 1980s heyday come next year. , which launches on Nintendo Switch in 2022, will feature a selection of arcade titles representing some of the earliest arcade releases developed by the legend𒁏ary studio.

It should be immediately noted that these are truly old-school Taito releases. The compilation will include Front Line, Wild Western, Alpine Ski, Elevator Action, Chack’n Pop, The Fairyland Story, Halley’s Comet, and finally The Ninja Warriors. So anybody expecting hits such as Chase H.Q., Growl, the Bubble Bobble games, or Darius may have to look elsewhere. Sev𓃲eral further titles are expected to be announced in the coming months.

It should also be noted that all the games featured on Taito Milestones are already available via Hamster’s Arcade Archives — though it will likely work out cheaper to pick up the compilation on release. Frankly, this line-up needs to step up, as a comp𒀰endium of incredibly simplistic and short-lived titles — all of which are already availa🌠ble for purchase, is not really a draw. Doubly so given the awesome Taito titles that are yet to make the cut.
