Inti Creates announces the Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced for Nintendo Switch 2, launching October 22 with high frame rate support and a new story mode.

Inti Creates is bringing the Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced to the Nintendo Switch 2 on October 22, giving players a chance to revisit the series with better performance. This release matters because it updates the classic action platformers with modern display support and new content that was not available in previous versions. Buyers who own the original Switch version can transition to the new hardware for a fraction of the full price.

New story mode and performance upgrades arrive for the action platformer

The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition includes the complete trilogy along with significant technical upgrades. The game now supports high frame rate and resolution displays, which improves the visual clarity and smoothness of the combat. Inti Creates also added a new story mode titled "Azure Striker Gunvolt GX" that features a tag-team duo of Gunvolt and Copen. This mode provides fresh narrative content for fans who have already completed the original campaigns.

A key addition to the gameplay is the new "Inspiration" system. This feature allows players to swap characters during play to gain bonuses for both gameplay flow and score. The system adds a layer of strategic depth to the fast-paced action. Existing owners of the trilogy on the original Nintendo Switch can upgrade their copy via a $10 "Upgrade Pack".

Pricing for the new edition varies by region and format. The standard digital version costs $49.99 in the United States. In Japan, the digital edition is priced at 6,480 yen (around $40.07) and the physical cartridge costs 7,590 yen (around $46.93). A limited edition is also available in Japan for 16,280 yen (around $101). The game launches globally on October 22.
