Space Invaders: Invincible Collection

Overview

Space Invaders Forever (known in Japan as Space Invaders Invincible Collection) is a shoot-'em-up game compilation developed and published by Taito in Japan for the Nintendo Switch on March 26, 2020, followed a worldwide release by ININ Games for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on December 11, 2020.

A compilation of some titles in Taito's long-running Space Invaders series, Space Invaders Forever includes ports of Space Invaders Extreme and Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders, as well as a special four-player home version of the special-event arcade game Space Invaders Gigamax. The Japanese release also includes a variety of classic games from the franchise (including the original game in both monochrome and color variants).

Like the earlier Darius Cozmic Collection, the Japanese version also launched with a special retail edition of the game, adding three additional games while including a history book (Space Invaders Material Collection), an exclusive board game (Space Invaders Invincible Boardgame), a recreation of a vintage Taito carrying pouch, and recreations of vintage instructional cards. The Special Edition version was brought in limited numbers to Western countries through Strictly Limited.

The compilation includes nine games in total, with some only available in certain editions of the game.
