TBD 2025Pre-orders for Grind Stormer were originally set to close on Sunday, December 1, 2024. However, Retro-Bit announced that, according to the licensor, “there is an issue with one of the featured games in the Toaplan Shooters Vol. 2 collection.” The full statement is linked above.
Details from Retro-bit:
Loud and explosive, Grind Stormer (V-Five in Japan) hit the arcades in 1992 developed by a team of relatively new developers in Toaplan. It pushed the hardware to its limits so when it came to porting the title to the SEGA Genesis® / Mega Drive, it was a marvel that it was a near-perfect transfer to the home console. On top of that, both versions are included in a cartridge allowing you to play with either bombs (Grind Stormer mode) or use a Slap Fight-style weapon selection with a Shield option in V-Fivemode. This set comes with an individually numbered slipcover, Crystal Shield cartridge, reversible inlay featuring the Japanese or North American logo, and a full-color instruction manual.
