Just about four years after their original Toaplan Genesis Shooter re-release, Retro-Bit has decided to release a follow-up collection with three more games: Twin Cobra, Slap Fight and Grind Stormer. Each are available to purchase individually for about $55, plus there’s a full collections edition containing all three for $160. Pre-orders end on December 1st and they’re due to arrive with customers a few months from now in spring 2025. More info below the links:

The first thing to mention is the entire collectors edition is cheaper than just an original copy of Grind Stormer or Slap Fight. It’s my strong opinion that while official re-releases are cool, they’re most important when they save physical media collectors money…and this set absolutely accomplishes that. Sure, if the only game you’re interested in is Twin Cobra, you might want to just pick up an original. If you wanted the other two, or all three, this is definitely a bargain.
Also, Retro-Bit has a history of making quality Genesis carts, that are properly beveled and built properly! As always, check them when they arrive and post pics. Don’t forget, these companies WANT you to show off their work when it’s done correctly, so set your cameras to macro mode, cross your fingers and hope they’re safe to use in original consoles!
