The lineup on display included Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes I & II playable on Nintendo Switch, while Psikyo Memories and Toshinden Collection were shown for Nintendo Switch 2. The showcase underscored Edia’s strategy of resurrecting quality retro titles from multiple original platforms and genres – RPGs, shoot ’em ups and early 3D fighters – and bringing them to current hardware. For Nintendo fans this is a welcome mix: nostalgia paired with accessibility, since many of these older games are hard to find in their original form. If you enjoy older Nintendo and console-era classics, this range of releases offers both familiar moments and surprises that could reconnect you with franchises you loved years ago. You can follow broader Switch 2 coverage at [Nintendo Switch 2](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/en/nintendo-switch-2/) and Switch coverage at [Nintendo Switch](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/en/nintendo-switch/) to see how these ports fit the platform landscape. ### [](#what-dragon-slayer-the-legend-of-heroes-i-ii-brings-to-switch)What Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes I & II Brings to Switch Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes I & II is a significant throwback for fans of Nihon Falcom’s early work, and Edia’s announcement mentions the PC Engine builds specifically – meaning the versions with added voice scenes and some unique presentation quirks will be the basis for the ports. Those original PC Engine releases are the source of the narrative foundation for the larger Legend of Heroes lineage, and seeing them on Switch means a wider audience can experience the roots of the series without digging into out-of-print hardware. Expect modern conveniences layered on top – things like improved save systems, adjustable speed or rewind, and UI tweaks to make exploration less of a relic hunt and more of a smooth play session. For players who love story-led JRPGs but don’t want to wrestle with vintage hardware, this release will be particularly appealing, especially if localization or extra options are added to make the games approachable for players worldwide. ### [](#psikyo-memories-classic-shoot-em-ups-returning)Psikyo Memories – Classic Shoot ’em Ups Returning Psikyo made its name with manic, fast, arcade-style shooters in the 1990s, and Psikyo Memories aims to preserve that high-intensity design while packaging it for modern play. Collections like this are great because they tend to bring arcade cabinet pacing and score-chasing mechanics to home setups without losing the original feel. On show, Strikers 1945 was available as a playable demo, which gives a strong indicator of how Edia plans to present the collection – arcade-perfect action with modern menu systems and possibly galleries or extras. If you enjoyed the frantic precision of classic shmups, Psikyo Memories should give you the same thrills with the added convenience of modern features – for example, display filters to emulate CRT look, optional practice modes, and online or local scoreboards if Edia decides to add them. Whether you’re a die-hard shmup veteran chasing high scores or a player curious about arcade history, this collection promises bite-sized chaos and pixel-perfect rewards. #### [](#toshinden-collection-for-nintendo-switch-2-and-local-multiplayer)Toshinden Collection for Nintendo Switch 2 and Local Multiplayer Battle Arena Toshinden was one of the earliest attempts to bring 3D fighting games into the mainstream, and the Toshinden Collection looks to reunite the first three entries in the series for Switch 2. One key point that stood out from the announcement is same-screen multiplayer support, which fits perfectly with the pick-up-and-play vibe Nintendo players love. Reviving classic fighters for modern systems is more than just emulation – it’s about preserving the feel of arcade and early console competitive play while making it accessible for friends who want to sit down and have a match without complicated setup. Expect quality-of-life additions like improved input handling, optional modern control schemes, and possibly training tools to help newer players pick up the older mechanics. For anyone who remembers the clack of local versus battles or who wants to introduce friends to 90s fighting game energy, Toshinden Collection on Switch 2 looks like a solid way to relive that heady early 3D era. ## [](#why-these-retro-revivals-matter-to-nintendo-fans)Why These Retro Revivals Matter to Nintendo Fans Retro revivals like these do more than just sell nostalgia – they act as time capsules that let players explore a publisher’s history and see the building blocks of today’s designs. Nintendo fans in particular often care about lineage and franchise evolution, so releases that surface early entries or genre-defining titles help put modern hits in context. Beyond that, many classic games are difficult to access legally – out-of-print physical copies and aging hardware make experiencing them a hassle. Edia’s approach helps solve that problem by packaging several titles with updates that respect the originals while making them playable on contemporary hardware. Also, coverage that focuses only on Nintendo products can highlight how these ports connect to Nintendo’s ecosystem and player base – and that is exactly why readers visit sources that concentrate on Nintendo news. When old-school mechanics are paired with modern conveniences, both longtime fans and newcomers can enjoy the games without the friction of retro ownership or emulation confusion. ### [](#what-to-expect-platforms-release-window-and-potential-extras)What to Expect – Platforms, Release Window and Potential Extras Edia’s announcements so far point to a 2027 worldwide window, with Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes I & II confirmed for Nintendo Switch and Psikyo Memories plus Toshinden Collection shown for Switch 2. Platform support beyond those exhibition listings hasn’t been fully clarified yet, so stay tuned for official confirmations if you want specifics on PS5, PS4, PC or other platforms. As for extras, exhibition notes and previews mentioned things like voice additions in the PC Engine build of Dragon Slayer and quality-of-life features such as quick save, rewind and adjustable play speeds in other revivals. Collections often include galleries, scanned manuals and developer materials too, so expect bonus content that adds historical value. If you’re the kind of player who enjoys digging into behind-the-scenes notes or soundtracks, these packages may deliver more than just the core games themselves – they’ll likely include artifacts that tell the story of the original releases. #### [](#how-edia-approaches-retro-ports-quality-and-extras)How Edia Approaches Retro Ports – Quality and Extras Edia has a track record of restoring and porting select retro titles, and the company’s TGS presentation indicates a careful approach rather than a quick cash-in. From playable demo stations at TGS to talk of restored voice lines and additional UI features, the aim appears to be making vintage games accessible without erasing their identity. That balance is important because players resent overly modernized remakes that lose the original charm, but they also appreciate sensible improvements that remove needless frustration. Expect save states, optional difficulty adjustments, and perhaps visual filters or scanline options for purists. Edia’s booth presence and the showing of specific playable builds suggest they are testing how these games feel on modern hardware and actively collecting feedback, which usually leads to better final releases. For NintendoReporters readers who value authentic ports, this approach is promising and worth watching as more details roll in. ##### [](#how-to-stay-updated-with-nintendoreporters)How to Stay Updated with NintendoReporters If you want the latest on how these releases evolve – including confirmed platforms, release dates, localization details and hands-on impressions – NintendoReporters will track official updates and hands-on reports as they arrive.

Full platform lists and storefront details should be confirmed in follow-up announcements. - **Will Toshinden Collection support online multiplayer on Switch 2?** - The TGS details specifically mentioned same-screen multiplayer, which guarantees local play.
