City Connection has announced Steam-Heart's & Advanced Variable Geo Saturn Tribute for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam). It will launch on May 29 in Japan. The PlayStation 5 and Switch versions will be available both physically and digitally, while the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions will only be available digitally.

The standard physical and digital editions will be priced at 4,950 yen, while the limited edition will be priced at 8,800 yen. The latter includes a special box, bonus booklet, and soundtrack CD.

Here is an overview of the collection, via its official website:
​

This is a collection including Steam-Heart's, a classic science-fiction shoot 'em up game known for its cute visuals, and Advanced Variable Geo, a fighting game also popular in the worlds of anime and comics. In addition to adjustments typical of Saturn Tribute ports, the collection also features a variety of options, such as "Save & Load" and "Rewind" functions, to support both long-time fans and new players alike.​

These city connection SS tribute games are known for their garbage emulation, avoid.

This is a shame, but "global standards" being what they are I doubt this collection is leaving Japan anyway.

Looks like the Xbox version of this collection has been canceled .

First announced in January, Steam-Heart's Saturn Tribute's and Advanced Variable Geo Saturn Tribute's Xbox One ports have been cancelled. While the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC versions are still set for their intended May 29 release dates, the Xbox One version in particular requires significant changes for it to be released on Microsoft's console.

Post translation:

We have decided to cancel the release of the Xbox versions of Steam-Heart's Saturn Tribute and Advanced Variable Geo Saturn Tribute, which were scheduled for release on Thursday, May 29th.
Due to the nature of these games being revivals of works that contain provocative content, we have continued developing them to deliver a common gaming experience across multiple platforms. Although we have repeatedly been adjusting the games' content to meet the various standards of each platform, we've come to the realization that some significant changes to the content of the Xbox version are necessary.
It was a difficult decision, but one we had to make. We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the release of the Xbox version.
We hope to continue delivering our titles to you on each platform, including Xbox. We kindly ask for your understanding
