Apart from the game, there's also a book, a clear-file, a cloth-poster, instruction cards for Salamander III and - very important - the fantastic soundtrack of the new Salamander!

unlabelledView post →The reason why there are steam achievements in Gradius Origins for getting a higher score than the default 57,300 on all the games is because "5-7-3" can be read as "Ko-Na-Mi" tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...
unlabelledView post →Bloggo's First Shooter love was Gradius. Now M2 have spread their love on Bloggo's love. That sounds messy and quite frankly disgusting. Anyway Gradius Origins is out with a brand new game included! Watch and see what it's like! youtu.be/TxScg-kYrhE

unlabelledView post →hopped into Gradius Origins for the first time in a few days and just randomly pulled out the Salamander 2 1-ALL? I mean sure I guess cool game!
unlabelledView post →Our weekly preview of new games focuses on the one title we'll definitely be playing: Gradius Origins, a collection of decades-old shmups from Konami (and one brand new game made to feel like it came out 25 years ago). www.endlessmode.com/article/this...

unlabelledView post →I was surprised to see GRADIUS ORIGINS listed as a similar game to mine. It’s truly an honor! store.steampowered.com/recommended/...

unlabelledView post →...different options in mind, and before talking to Horii, he'd intended to go with a more compact 4-game comp the interviewer remarks on how that'd be a natural number but 13+ is crazy—Ueno asks Horii if he ever felt that way & he's lIke, "well, Gradius Origins had lots of games", so Ueno...
unlabelledView post →this isn't a comment on the quality of Gradius Origins at all, it's just really funny that a game that's 98% previously released games had an embargo on it
unlabelledView post →After recent life events I'm back... and back to see that porting maestro's M2 are at the helm of a Gradius compilation... which includes an entirely new game, Salamander III (Salamander being a Gradius spin-off series). GRADIUS ORIGINS! Best news. #shmups www.timeextension.com/news/2025/03...
unlabelledView post →Hey hey @polykillpodcast.bsky.social I #justbeatit, Lifeforce played on the Gradius Origins collection. Boy, this one’s rough. If not for the “easy” setting, I would have never beaten it. Like all shmups, it’s incredibly hard no matter what! A fantastic game overall!
unlabelledView post →9. Gradius Origins* If you're new to shmups, sooner or later you will hear of these classic Konami games. This has all the arcade versions of the series. Even though Konami isn't anywhere like it used to be, we were blessed with a brand new game: Salamander 3! And by golly, they did it SO right
unlabelledView post →I think I’m sort of at my breaking point re: parodius collection with a new game like how they did with Gradius Origins. I feel like it’s such an obvious sick cool thing to do, and yet. A new parodius game would make me cry and throw up (positive).
unlabelledView post →I can never look at Sonic the same way again after playing Spark the Electric Jester I still kick on a Touhou game every now and then over the slop triple A is trying to push out (glaring at Gradius Origins; while good, is still mostly a rehash)
unlabelledView post →5) Gradius Origins Now THIS is how you package a release of past games. Besides the original arcade versions of Gradius I & II, Salamander/Life Force with Japan AND North America versions, there is actually a brand new game within: Salamander 3 If you favor any of these, it is a must-buy.
unlabelledView post →Salamander 3 steps it up in intensity from the previous game. I found it very fun and difficult on easy 😅. It first came out a few months ago on the Gradius Origins collection. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →SALAMANDER 3 M2 made a new Salamander game, using the same tools they built for their REBIRTH series. Technically this is part of the Gradius Origins Collection, which has got me playing through other titles first, hence me not having played it yet. But c'mon man, they made a new Salamander.
unlabelledView post →Gradius Origins is out today! And if you're starting from the beginning and want to learn how to one credit clears that first game, I have a video that will help you! Commentary for both the arcade and NES versions! youtu.be/cFVy976ZMCs
unlabelledView post →Salamander 3: Weirdly this is the 2nd hardest game in Gradius Origins. It's a little past my baby shmup skills. This was a chance to add a different progression system, but they chose to keep it arcade style sadly Still, it's cool this exists. I love that Konami lets M2 drop legacy sequels.
unlabelledView post →PSA for fans of shooters, shmups and pew pews... Gradius Origins can be had digitally for $15.95 at Fanatical.com (Steam key, legit site). It's 16.79 and you can use code OMENVIP to save another 5%. Remember, this includes the brand new Salamander 3! www.fanatical.com/en/game/grad...
unlabelledView post →Gave Salamander 2 a playthrough via Gradius Origins just now (via credit feeding, yes), as it's a shooter I had never played but was very curious about. The general praise I've heard for it is well deserved, because Salamander 2 is awesome (& a surprisingly brisk game to get through, for one loop).
unlabelledView post →Also let's not forget that in just 9 days we also get the Gradius Origins collection and a brand new game in the series Salamander III 😄
unlabelledView post →With the Gradius Origins collection planned for an August release, I revisit Gradius V. A beautiful game, a Gradius title developed by Treasure certainly feels surreal. The game is genuinely great. But holy hell, this is hard. #retrogaming #PS2
unlabelledView post →Me: "Okay, not buying any more games this year until the Switch 2. I have more than enough to play." *Nintendo Direct happens* Me: "Okay, I'll get Rift of the Necrodancer when I get home, and Witchbrook looks like a good cozy game, and Rhythm Heaven is always a blast. Oh, I NEED Gradius Origins."

unlabelledView post →Daily Nipah then we diving into the new Salamander game that came out yesterday in Gradius Origins! twitch.tv/toad22484 #shmup #new
unlabelledView post →Just played through Salamander 3 from the new Gradius Origins game and its full of mixed Gradius & Salamander/Lifeforce callbacks and nostalgia with some crazy bullet hell halfway through. Also M2 made the BIGGIEST Moai boss in a Gradius game that's so massive they turn it into 3 phase boss fight 🙃💀
unlabelledView post →An interesting Nintendo Direct. The highlights for me were a new AI: Somnium Files game, Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army Remaster, SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered, Gradius Origins, Rhythm Heaven: Groove, and the return of Everybody's Golf & Patapon via Bandai Namco.

unlabelledView post →Just like how I've done with Gradius Origins, I'm doing ANOTHER BINGE PLAYTHROUGH of this game until I have my hands on Rhythm Heaven Groove. Rhythm Tengoku (GBA) Rhythm Heaven (DS) Rhythm Heaven Fever (Wii) Rhythm Heaven Megamix (3DS) Rhythm Heaven Groove (Switch) all in that order
unlabelledView post →I generally buy one new game per month and it's usually on or near launch, but only a fee of those are full-fat $70 releases. Gradius Origins, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, and other $30-$50 fare are the bulk of my purchases nowadays.
unlabelledView post →Holy shit that's awesome. That game is tough! I have it on the PC Engine and on the Konami Arcades classics compilation and soon the Gradius Origins collection. I fucking love all things Gradius.
unlabelledView post →runner up is GRADIUS ORIGINS it's got a new salamander game! these are the sort of worsd that make me go "wh" and then turn to my arcade game fans who go OHHH LET ME TELL YOU and explain things to me. you might be one of those! ... and if so you probably already have this, BUT STILL
unlabelledView post →Gradius Origins is pretty rad and a great way to check out this game! As usual, thanks for posting, keep them coming!
unlabelledView post →For US, the game by itself is $2.99 instead of $29.99 (I already have Gradius Origins). Even at that low of a price, I'm a multipass.gif They get an E for Effort, at least, but that's not enough for me wanting to buy it
unlabelledView post →Stunning game. What a time for old school gaming. Between Earthion, Gradius Origins, Ninja Gaiden and very soon Shinobi i have truly gone to gaming heaven.
unlabelledView post →🔴LIVE WITH GRADIUS ORIGINS! WE ARE STARTING WITH GRADIUS 3! Gradius 3 has a special place in my heart because it was a game that Dax-Dad played with a younger me! The nostalgia of going through this game is going to be so much fun. Come join me! twitch.tv/daxondragon

unlabelledView post →I do need to put in random voice clips into my next game... I like them as an early video games element and I was thinking about the ones in Gradius Origins with captions. I was realizing a lot of old games rely on these quotes for vibes but don't caption them huh...
unlabelledView post →Game #12: Salamander (Arcade, via Gradius Origins) This game is so cool for what it is. Feels a lot faster and more chaotic than Nemesis does, but never quite hits the level where I'd call it unfair. I appreciate how easy it is to build your power back up, that makes dying a lot less frustrating.
unlabelledView post →#gradius #salamander #konami #gaming #malsrev shorturl.at/Amu0N I gotten Gradius Origins on PC explicitly for the purpose of playing Salamander III since that's been something I've been hyping up since the day of its announcement. Does it make up for 16 years of no new Gradius game? 🤔
