This Space Invaders Collection For The Switch Will Have Up To 11 Games

Do you remember the last time you played Space Invaders? Yeah, neither do I. The first game was released way back in June 1978. 42 years later, Taito is releasing a collection of the game and some of its sequels for the modern market.
