Overview
- The remaster arrives on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, marking the title’s first official release outside Japan.
- Footage was re-digitized from Betacam masters with modern upscaling and animation restored to 24 fps, and Forbes reports the core game appears to run as an emulated port rather than a remake.
- The release retains the original 1999 voice performances from notable anime actors and features theme songs by Isao Sasaki, Akira Kushida, and Hironobu Kageyama.
- Quality-of-life options include a rewind function, rapid fire, quick save, a CRT filter, and achievements while preserving the original arcade-style difficulty.
- Japan will get physical editions on PS5 and Switch: a 4,400 yen standard release and an 8,580 yen Special Pack with a reissued drama CD and an art book.
