Radiant Silvergun is out on Nintendo Switch today
The classic Treasure shooter has received its first official port in many years
Classic shoot-em-up Radiant Silvergun will release for Nintendo Switch today, it’s been announced.
VGC has verified that the Treasure shooter is currently available on the UK eShop for a price of £15.29.
Radiant Silvergun is a vertical-scrolling shooter that was first released in Japanese arcades in 1998. It was later ported to Sega Saturn and most recently to Xbox 360.
The game was met with strong reviews upon release and has developed a devoted fan following.
Developer Treasure, which has largely been quiet in recent years, tweeted in June: “On June 19, 2022, Treasure Co., Ltd. celebrated its 30th anniversary!
“This year, the 30th anniversary, we are working hard to announce the highly requested ‘that’ title. We look forward to your continued support of Treasure.”
Treasure’s last releases were a duo of 3DS games in the Gaist Crusher series. Prior to this, the company had been prolific during the PlayStation 2 era of console gaming, developing 12 titles between 2000 and 2006.
