Konami is releasing a 13-game Goemon collection for Nintendo Switch, PS5, and PC

Konami is releasing a 13-game Goemon collection this summer for consoles and PC.

Set to release on Thursday, July 2 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Steam, Ganbare Goemon! Daishuugou will include classic entries from the series from the Famicom, Super Famicom, and Game Boy eras.

Unfortunately, the game does not appear to be set for release outside of Japan, since it debuted only in the Japanese version of Tuesday’s Partner Nintendo Direct.

According to an announcement, the compilation will include new features such as rewind, quick save, turbo buttons, and rapid fire buttons. A music player will also be included, in addition to a gallery showing each game’s instruction manual.

The included games are:

• Ganbare Goemon! Karakuri Journey (Family Computer / 1986)
