New SNK 40th Anniversary Collection Trailer for Athena and Psycho Soldier

NIS America and SNK have released a new trailer for SNK 40th Anniversary Collection.

Featured above, the new trailer introduces the classic platforming games Athena and its sequel Psycho Soldier.

Here’s a rundown on both games:


  • Athena
    Athena, one of SNK’s most iconic characters, makes her debut in the company’s first traditional platform game in 1986! Players walk in a side-view perspective, and jump, climb, and swim to reach new areas. Athena begins the game with just a red bikini, and gains armor and weapons along her journey. The game was notable for its branching paths. Players could complete the game without seeing all its content, and could even warp to different areas.
  • Psycho Soldier
    Athena‘s sequel, to put it simply, arrived shortly after in 1987. The seal of darkness has been broken, and only these two heroes can bring peace back to the world. The star of Psycho Soldier is Athena Asamiya, a school girl who seems to be a direct descendant of the first Athena. She’s joined by Sie Kensou, who would go on to join the King of Fighters roster alongside Athena. The game is an automatic belt scroller with five lanes, in which Athena and Kensou smash bricks with weapons to find items and power up!

SNK 40th Anniversary Collection is launching for Switch on November 13th in North America and November 16th in Europe.
