Toaplan Arcade Garage: Kyukyoku Tiger-HeliSwitch

The Tigers Return. The Legend Begins Anew––

The fourth entry in the highly acclaimed M2ShotTriggers line to hit the North American market, the Kyukyoku Tiger-Heli collection includes the two "Tiger" games by the developer Toaplan, who is responsible for many a fabled arcade STG.

Kyukyoku Tiger (1987) is one of Toaplan's most emblematic works. The game revolves around strategic use of your main shots and devastating bombs, which riveted the attention of not only hardcore arcade-goers but also of commuting office workers back in the day. The seed of its core mechanics can be seen in its predecessor Tiger-Heli (1985), which is also present in this collection.

For veterans and newcomers alike
On top of the Arcade modes where the original experience is faithfully recreated, each of the two games has a Super Easy mode that provides more relaxed gameplay, making them easily accessible even for first-time players!
