This classic collection is set to appear as a tangible release for every console platform. Konami has revealed a package that brings together six timeless titles from the main series along with offerings from the Salamander spin-off, and it even introduces a new installment in the Salamander line.

The collection is exactly what devoted collectors have been dreaming of, and Limited Run Games has confirmed that physical versions will be available for all three console configurations via Bluesky. Pre-orders begin today and continue until May 11, after "ultimately rendering them inaccessible.".

There are three distinct editions available, each bringing its own level of extra features:

• Standard Edition ($39.99) – Includes the Gradius Origins game with a choice of three cover variants.
• Classic Edition ($69.99) – Comes with the Gradius Origins game, a classic silver box with metallic ink, two alternative cover sheets, a single-disc soundtrack CD, and a reversible poster measuring 12 inches by 16 inches.
• Collector's Edition ($179.99) – Offers the Gradius Origins game along with a classic silver box with metallic ink, two alternative cover sheets, a complete 4-disc soundtrack, a light-up shadow box that plays music, a light-up desk marquee featuring seven interchangeable panels, a development document combined with an art book, a 12-inch by 16-inch reversible poster, and seven art prints.

The release date for Gradius Origins is set for August 7, although the physical editions are expected to reach shelves a bit later. Which edition will you choose to enhance your collection?
