In this video, we look at the Gradius Collection (Gradius Portable in Japan). This is a MUST-own for any PSP Shmup fan and has 5 of the best horizontal Shmups all on one PSP UMD.
This PSP-exclusive game collection contains both games from the PS1 & Saturn's Gradius Deluxe Pack (Gradius & Gradius II) and Gradius III & IV which were also sold as a double pack for the PS2.
This also marks the first time that Gradius Gaiden was released outside of Japan and it's so good that I now have to track down a copy of my next trip.
All footage was captured from real hardware, in this case, I went for PSTV running adrenaline (Uses the real MIPS hardware within the Vita SoC. The video signal was fed into a RetroTink 4K, integer scaled to 4K and captured using an Elgato 4K X.
