Irem Collection Volume 3

Irem Collection Volume 3 brings players three retro side-scrolling shooters that combine fantasy, sci-fi, and high-end arcade gameplay. Mr. Heli, Mystic Riders, and Dragon Breed return to Nintendo Switch in a colorful collection where each game has its own personality, from giant dragons to flying witches in the sky. All are faithfully remade, with modern features to bring a complete experience for both veterans and beginners to explore the arcade world.

Mr. Heli – Tripod Helicopter and Strange Battle

In Mr. Heli (Battle Chopper), you control a helicopter with legs, armed to the teeth, and ready to charge into a maze of quirky machines. With action-packed levels and puzzle elements, you will collect crystals, mine resources, and upgrade weapons to confront giant bosses hidden deep underground. From the engine sounds, explosion effects to detailed pixel graphics, the game brings the feeling of standing in front of an 80s arcade machine, but packaged on a modern Switch controller.

Mystic Riders – fly through a magical world of fantasy

Mystic Riders is a magical fantasy adventure where you play as one of two young witches fighting on a broomstick in the chaotic sky. The game space is filled with mythical creatures, bullets flying everywhere and battles that require dexterity down to every click. With the ability to use the broom like a boomerang, players can both defend and counterattack creatively. Along with the internal co-op mode, Mystic Riders creates a challenging and fun experience for two players at the same time.

Dragon Breed – Ride a Dragon into a Biological Nightmare

In Dragon Breed, you no longer fight alone but join Bahamoot – a legendary war dragon that can block bullets and destroy enemies with fire. The feeling of flying in a half-biological, half-machine world, confronting armies of robots and monstrous creatures creates an atmosphere that is both tense and overwhelming. With its fast pace, multi-layered map design and rich weapon system, Dragon Breed deserves to be a gem in IREM’s arcade game library, now vividly revived on Nintendo Switch.

Reviving the arcade legend with many upgrades

Not only retaining the original arcade spirit, Irem Collection Volume 3 also adds a series of new features to make the experience more complete. From the ability to quickly save, rewind, to customizing buttons and image filters that simulate classic CRT screens, all help players feel the true spirit of the old arcade machines. Global leaderboards and two-player modes also add to the competitive atmosphere. If you love side-scrolling shooters and want to relive the golden age of arcades, this is the collection you can’t miss.
