Description
Product Details

Experience the cult-classic vertical shooter Karous, reborn for modern systems in its Japanese Import Standard Edition on Nintendo Switch™. Developed and published by RS34, this port brings enhanced graphics, remixed BGM tracks, and refined gameplay to the arcade title first released in 2006—famously one of the last licensed Dreamcast games.

Fight through intense bullet-hell action with weapon leveling, bomb mechanics, and fierce boss encounters using upgraded visuals and select remixed or original music by SuperSweep composers Hiroshi ‘HiRo’ Sato and Keishi Yonao alongside RS34’s Nagata. Perfect for devoted shmup fans or anyone seeking retro-styled challenge with modern polish.
