Play Nichibutsu Collection 1 (japan) Online

Nichibutsu Collection 1 was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan in 1996. It is a compilation of several arcade titles published by Nichibutsu, arriving late in the SNES lifecycle when such anthologies were a way to revisit older games. This collection gathers a handful of their early releases onto a single cartridge.

You control different characters depending on the game, from a knight in "Knight Boy" to a spaceship pilot in "Moon Cresta." The main objective is simply to progress and survive each title's specific challenges. Signature mechanics include screen by screen exploration in the platformers, shooting waves of alien ships in the shooters, and collecting power ups to enhance your abilities. The pacing is generally fast, and the difficulty can be steep, reflecting the arcade origins of these games. Playing it feels like flipping through a company's early history, one quarter at a time.
