Taito have announced that the Darius Cozmic Collection is finally getting a digital release this September in Japan. Two versions will be available:

• regular version (5 200 Yen + taxes): includes all the Arcade games
• Consumer version (6 500 Yen + taxes): includes all the Arcade games + the home console versions (it’s basically the equivalent of the Limited Edition released at retail)

• Darius (Arcade), Darius II, Sagaia (Arcade): rankings will be reset, and replay data created before the update will become unuseable;
• Darius Gaiden (Arcade): replay data and Quick Save data created before the update will become unuseable.
