Konami's legendary Gradius returns on Nintendo Switch

One of the most pioneering shmups of all time is ready to jet off on Nintendo Switch this week, as Konami classic Gradius joins the bulging Arcade Archives range.

Originally launched in arcades in 1985, before eventually being ported to numerous home formats, Gradius is one of the best-known and most beloved brands in the shmup genre. Players jump into the cockpit of starfighting vessel Vic Viper, before blasting off into battle against waves of intergalactic invaders, gathering speed boosts and cycling through a range unique weapons while taking down bad guys and a run of intimidating bosses.
