In honor of the 40th anniversary of the Gradius series, Gradius Origin Collection will be released on August 7, 2025! It includes 7 popular titles (18 versions) from the series, including the first new 2D shooter in 17 years – Salamander III, and the first appearance on a home console of Gradius III AM Show Version! Official website: https://www.konami.com/games/gradius/
In US the NES Salamander is known under the name Life Force. It is a bit different updated version of the original.
A little while ago Konami made a similar Castlevania Dominus Collection release where they made a remake of Haunted Castle from arcades – Haunted Castle Revisited. Which was warmly received by fans. Maybe Konami has a proper 2d developers team because the short glance of the Salamander 3 looks quite legit.
