About

This assortment encompasses eighteen variations spread throughout all seven arcade installments of the sequence, marking the initial home console presentation of the _Gradius III AM Show Version_.

As a gamer, I’m thrilled about the recent updates in our games! Now we’ve got save states, rewind options, and an Invincible Mode to make gameplay smoother than ever. The new Training Mode is a game-changer – you can tweak settings like restart points, loop counts, and power-up statuses to polish your skills to perfection. And let’s not forget the gallery feature! It’s stacked with tunes from the games, images from each title, and so much more that I can’t wait to explore it all!
