Description
Japanese Capcom compilation gathering Strider Hiryu and its sequel Strider Hiryu 2 on two discs. Created by Capcom, released in 2000 in Japan under the Strider Hiryu 1 and 2 title. Compilation of the two emulated original arcade Striders on two discs, fast-scrolling 2D action platforming, ninja with signature acrobatics and laser katana Cypher and chiptune-and-rock arranged soundtrack. Japanese edition on two discs under the Strider Hiryu 1 and 2 title.
A Japanese compilation gathering Strider Hiryu and its sequel, bringing Capcom's acrobatic action together in a local package on separate discs. Never published as such in the West, this Japanese release appeals to those wanting the ninja classics in their original version. Its local scarcity and heritage-grouping status support a value sought by enthusiasts.
Better with friends
Ultra-stylish acrobatic action to share by passing the pad to clear snappy levels and beat each other's performances. The rivalry springs from one-upmanship: who'll cross the stage fastest, who'll chain the wildest acrobatics under enemy fire? Spectacular and demanding, it turns each attempt into a challenge narrated by two, where every feat is celebrated and every fall is ribbed.
Is Strider Hiryuu 1 & 2 still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2000 on PS1 in Japan, Capcom's compilation gathers Strider Hiryuu and its sequel Strider 2 on a double disc dedicated to the lineage. The first entry, faithful to the 1989 arcade board, keeps its pioneering 2D flavour, and the later sequel plays the card of a dazzling vertical action. The modelling and the difficulty of both games betray their respective ages. Recommended today for Strider devotees, for Capcom fans curious about a double take on the lineage and for PS1 collectors fond of rare Japanese compilations on Sony's first home console hardware globally.
