Gradius Collection is a 2006 horizontal shoot-'em-up compilation developed by Konami for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita. The package brings together five entries from the long-running Gradius series — Gradius, Gradius II, Gradius III, Gradius IV, and Gradius Gaiden — marking the first time all five titles were made available on a handheld platform. Spanning more than two decades of the franchise's history, the collection preserves the classic 2D side-scrolling shooting gameplay the series is known for, allowing players to pilot their spacecraft through waves of enemies across each distinct installment. Gradius Gaiden, previously less accessible to Western audiences, was a particular draw for fans. The compilation serves as a substantial survey of the Gradius lineage, consolidating a significant portion of the arcade and console catalog into a single portable release.
