ONE OF THE HIGHEST RATED SNES® TITLES RETURNS FULLY TRANSLATED
If you played Cybernator back in the day, you could be forgiven for not knowing that you had actually received one of the most impactful entries into the Assault Suit series. Renaming and changing the name for Western audiences was not uncommon with even the first in the series, Assault Suit Leynos, being renamed to Target Earth. Developed by Masaya Games with a team led by producer Toshiro Tsuchida (creator of Arc the Lad and Front Mission series), Assault Suits Valken would have players experience intense mech armor battles, an in-depth weapon upgrade system, and a gripping story wracked with political turmoil. Now, we are releasing it in both a collector's edition as well as a deluxe edition to celebrate a game that is close to celebrating its 30th anniversary. As such, in our continued efforts for game preservation, each copy sold will donate a portion to our friends at the Video Game History Foundation.

Media Reception
NOTE: All reviews below are for Cybernator which had a slightly different story presentation but the gameplay remained the same.
"Konami has maxed out the SNES this time with Cybernator! Coming close to perfection from the graphics to the music, nothing was overlooked. It's like playing a movie with a full musical soundtrack and an intense storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat! Possible candidate for game of the year."
- Dec. 1992
"The graphics are brilliant, with explosions bursting out of the screen at you, and the action never lets up; it seems to play at two speeds - one hundred miles an hour or stop! […] If you only buy one blaster this year make sure you buy this - I have!"
- Mar. 1993
"[...] the game designers have done more than simply add new detail to the graphics. Many aspects of the gameplay have also been enhanced to create a game with plenty of techniques to complement the great graphics. A bit easy, but still fun."
- Jan. 1993
