SwitchArcade Presents: An Interview with Taito’s Yuichi Toyama, ‘Space Invaders Invincible Collection’ Director
In the last couple of years, the legendary Japanese game publisher Taito has been making its return to the console market. In the Western market, it’s been doing that in association with ININ Games and Strictly Limited Games. We’ve seen some amazing collections of the Darius series made available, but for its latest effort Taito is going back to its roots. The Space Invaders Invincible Collection was made available as a physical release through Strictly Limited Games, with pre-orders opening during the summer.
For those who prefer a digital release, a special selection of titles from that set has been brought together as Space Invaders Forever, due to hit the eShop on December 15th alongside a digital PS4 release. Space Invaders Forever will also be available as a physical release. We had the good fortune to talk to Taito’s Yuichi Toyama, the director of Space Invaders Invincible Collection. He was kind enough to answer a few questions for us about the new release.
