First Look! Retro-Bit Toaplan Collection for Sega Mega Drive & Genesis #Shorts
In this YouTube #Shorts Episode, we give you a first look at the upcoming Retro-Bit Toaplan Shooters Collection coming to the Sega Genesis & Sega Mega Drive.
Retro-Bit has a history of bringing some of the most desired retro games, working with the original creators, and re-releasing them as collector's editions with amazing pack-ins. To-date, they have released games on the original Nintendo Entertainment System and Super NES. Now they are turning their attention to the Sega Mega Drive and Genesis with 4 of the greatest Shmups from Toaplan. Coming to Castlemania Games over the 2020 holidays will be Fire Shark, Hellfire, Truxton, and Zero Wing.
It is common to see original versions of these titles sell for several hundred dollars on eBay or at gaming conventions. That puts some of the greatest titles for the system outside the reach for many who would love to play them, and many simply turn to emulating these titles instead. Retro-Bit will be selling these cartridges as either individual cartridges for $44.99 each, or as a 4-pack with all four titles for $159.99.
Similar to previous limited edition box sets Retro-Bit has offered in the past, these Collector’s Editions follows a similar layout to other selections. Exclusive extras have been provided for these limited release, including:
Special interview with developer Masahiro Yuge (specialized per game)
Full-Color, Individually Numbered Certificate of Authenticity
Exclusive Vintage 80’s Puffy Sticker Set
Vivid & Detailed Instruction Booklet filled with artwork and tips to enhance gameplay
Premium and original art prints
16-Bit Cartridge with unique and vibrant colors per game
Collector’s Embossed Outer Sleeve with colorful and custom design
Reversible cartridge cover with embellished artwork
If you decide to purchase all 4 games in the collection, you will also receive:
a commemorative slipcover
collectible Zero Wing enamel pin

I first learned about this set at the 2019 Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Well, actually I learned about Zero Wing coming to the Genesis, but these additional 3 titles are amazing to see added to the the Retro-Bit lineup. They have once again put together an amazing assortment of bonus items and collectables in with each of the cartridges, something even those who own original versions will likely want to pick up and add to their collection. That being said, Retro-Bit has taken a lot of care to ensure these re-releases will not affect the value of the original cartridges. The cartridges are uniquely colored, so you can see instantly that these are not the originals.
We are looking forward to unboxing and testing these out, not only Truxton and Zero Wing which I have previously played, but also Hellfire and FireShark as well. These all look to be amazingly well put together packages, and will not only look great on my Genesis but also on display in my game room as well.
