Psikyo Shooting Stars Bravo

Japanese publisher Zerodiv has been keeping Psikyo’s shoot-em-ups alive in the modern era, thanks to ports to smartphones as well as the Nintendo Switch. Originally released as downloads on the eShop, Korean publisher H2 Interactive bundled these up – four games on three packages – and released them in Asia. These were later released in Japan in 2019 in different configurations, bundling more games together (six games per release, two releases total) under the name Psikyo Shooting Library. Nippon Ichi then released both these in North America in 2020, retitling them Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha and Bravo. The second release, Bravo, contains all three Sengoku/Samurai Ace games, both Gunbird titles, and Gunbarich.
