Sure, here you go:
Wow, okay, so Irem Collection Volume 3 just dropped like, out of nowhere, right? It’s got these old-school arcade shooters all spruced up for the digital age, which is like wild blend of nostalgia and modern tech, somehow! Are you ready to dive into these fantastical adventures?
So let’s talk about the trio we’ve got here. First up is Mr. Heli from 1987—a major player in the “cute ‘em up” world with its multidirectional madness. Honestly, seeing those little helicopter legs running around is kinda bizarre. And then you’ve got Mystic Riders from ’92. There’s some serious witchy action with broom boomerangs. No idea why broom boomerangs aren’t more of a thing because they totally should be. And can we talk about Dragon Breed? Riding a fire-breathing dragon into battle is just chef’s kiss, right? This lineup, once ignored, is now like, secretly legendary.
These games? They’re notoriously hard. I mean, arcade games were like, professional level wallet drainers back in the day. So don’t feel bad if you’re like, super struggling. It was a quarter-eater’s game, and we know it.
Anyway, what’s cool now is they’ve added all these options, so if you didn’t grow up in those battle-hardened arcades, you’re not totally left in the dust. You can switch up controls until they feel like old friends. Heck, maybe you’re even putting jump on A (controversial, I know). And you can mess with the difficulty too, so it’s a bit more chill for those of us who aren’t gods of gaming.
And wait, there’s more. Quick save and load, plus rewind. Rewind! It’s like, where was this when we were in the arcades with angry arcade owners glaring—you know what I’m talking about. Plus, there’s this whole autofire thing, because mashing buttons was great… back when my thumbs weren’t as fragile.
Also, they’ve given the visuals a facelift. So many filters to play with—maybe you want that chunky pixel look? Or one of those color palettes that makes you feel like you’re tripping in the 90s. Can’t blame you. Plus, with leaderboards now, it’s like you can see how trash you are compared to some rando halfway across the planet. It’s kind of motivating, or super demoralizing. Depends on your current caffeine intake, probably.
Anyway, don’t just sit there. Dive into the chaos of Irem Collection Volume 3 on Xbox One, or Series X|S. And if you’re a collector (or a completionist, it’s fine), remember that Volumes 1 and 2 are waiting for you too!
Dive into the chaos or charming madness—whatever suits your nostalgia trip!
