One title still conspicuous by its absence…
Japanese publisher Ediahas announcedits intention to release a second compilation of titles pulled from the retro fantasy adventure seriesValis: The Fantasm Soldier.The new collection, currently in early development stages for Nintendo Switch, will follow on from the recent release ofValis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection, which launched on western shores just last month.
The tentatively titledValis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection 2will add three more releases from the high school hero’s escapades — namelyValis IV, which hit the PC Engine in 1992, as well as Sega Mega Drive releasesValis: The Fantasm Soldier(1991) andValis II“demake”Syd of Valis(1992) which revisioned the PC Engine sequel in a cute “chibi” style.
As fans will have spotted, this new compilation isstillmissing a few titles, notably the 1993 Super Nintendo releaseSuper Valis IVand theextremelyquestionable 2006 PC releaseValis X, (be sure to Google that particular title incognito). While the latter’s absence is somewhat understandable, it would be frustrating to seeSuper Valis IVleft out of the lineup, as it would then become something of an entry left adrift.
We’ll be sure to give you a heads up when more information is forthcoming. In the meantime,Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collectionis available to download right now on Nintendo Switch, for a princely $40.
