As we chug closer and closer to the end of the year, the PlayStation Store is taking a trip down memory lane with a few retro-themed additions this week.
Leading the way is Casual Bit’s Battle Princess Madelyn, a side-scrolling homage to Capcom’s Super Ghouls N Ghosts that’s now available to download for the PS4. Also set to launch for the PS4 this week is R-Type Dimensions EX, a reimagined remake of Irem’s R-Type and R-Type II.
PS4 players interested in something a little more modern will be able to download Fatshark’s Warhammer: Vermintide 2, a sequel to their first-person co-op brawler.
Finally this week, Vita owners will be able to download Atari Flashback Classics, a compilation of more than 150 titles from the console’s heyday.
You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the PlayStation Store after the break.
