Edye will release Aretha COLLECTION 1993-1995 for PS5, PS4, and Switch on July 30, 2026. The set includes three Super Famicom titles from Yanoman's Aretha series, with speed options, save-anywhere, and bonus materials. A crowdfunding campaign for Game Boy reissues and a new game also launched July 15.
The Aretha series began in 1990 on Game Boy with Materia as the protagonist. The three Super Famicom titles in this collection star Ariel and Trenor, but the magic doll character Doll appears across all entries. The collection reproduces the original games as-is while adding game speed, save anywhere/load anywhere, and a mode for 1990s setting materials and videos. Alongside the July 30 release, a crowdfunding campaign called the Aretha Reunion Project runs through August 31, aiming to reissue the three Game Boy titles and produce a completely new game.
