  4. Ogni tanto lo rispolvero con piacere. Grandissimo shmup, per una grandissima console. 🔥🔥🔥 #crt #shmups #megadrive #thunderforce4 #retrogaming

  5. I forgot to share my post about the Toaplan Arcade Collection

    TL;DR Grade B

    Batsugun is a classic, but the rest of the collection make this a pretty safe recommendation *if* you like shoot'em ups

  6. Started #Gradius Generation/Galaxies (#GBA) and love how detailed the background is. Using a romhack which replaces the original ship with a better looking ship from the Parodius series. Highly recommend the hack as it's a big graphical improvement over the original.

  7. Sad to see this:

    [MRO] Granzella (Disaster Report, R-Type), its 2 subsidiaries and the representative directors of both referred to prosecutors over unpaid wages | ResetEra resetera.com/threads/mro-granz

  8. I don't do many preorders of anything, but I love the hell out of shooting games of all kinds- sometimes I gotta jump. Dezatopia came out in 2020 and I've had it on both my Switch and Steam wishlists digitally since then, it's supposed to be great. It's actually the very FIRST thing on my Switch wishlist from all those years ago! So when I heard it was coming out physical with Mecharitz, it was a no brainer. Sure, it took a long time to get here (I preordered in July and just got it now in December). But to me, the wait was worth it. In addition to the cartridge with both games and a manual, it came with another separate book, a CD of the soundtrack, and a poster.

    So psyched to try both of these.

  9. A nice section with #pcengine games, Cotton Boomerang for #saturn for NTD 7850, some #msx games. Games for other systems were also plentiful, but I try to only look at PC-Engine and #shmups to prevent myself from spending money. Plenty of choice for all other systems here though, just no photos.

  10. R-Type Delta HD Boosted keeps the challenge alive with a sharp HD upgrade and tough stage layouts. If you enjoy pushing through tight shmups, this one delivers. Our Cloud Dosage review is live now. #review #gaming #videogames #shmups

  12. Schildmaid MX is horizontal scrolling shootemup coming to Switch later this year-- this one has been hotly anticipated to come to consoles for a while (maybe it'll come to other consoles later?) Trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=dMAeVv0K7G4

  13. I rarely pre-order ANYTHING, much less a game, but sometimes I make exceptions. I've been wanting to grab Dezatopia on Switch for so long, it's literally the first thing I ever put on my Switch wishlist many years ago (which now has like, a couple hundred games on it). I was waiting for it to go on sale but it never really did. I'm glad I waited, really. I dig physical games, and now there's this combo that includes Mecha Ritz. GREAT bang for the buck. I'll of course post photos when it gets here in many months, but figured other fans of shooters might want to get in on this pre-order: strictlylimitedgames.com/colle

  14. Grabbed Metal Black on Xbox as it's on sale for less than $4 for the next few hours. Such a blast.

  15. Happy to announce that the FIRST EVER game of the month over at lemmus.org/c/shmups is Mushihimesama! Aim for high scores or grind for a 1cc, we're here to share in the triumph and tears! More details in this post: lemmus.org/post/11768068

  16. My first #gamedev projects with Visual Basic were simple. I'd take a picture container, stetch it over the window form, and boom, that was my background. I could load images into it, and scroll it with simple commands. I could put other picture boxes inside that picture box, like sprites, albeit with no alpha channel. I could send events on key down, which let me map the keyboard to stuff. I made quite a few simple #platformers and #shmups this way.

  17. Horizontal arcade style shootemup Cycle Chaser H-5 is coming to Switch January 24 (it's been on Steam since 2023). This is another great looking one from Ratalaika Games. It has hand-drawn and vector-rendered 2D graphics, an FM soundtrack produced in YM2612, three weapon styles with three attack types each, and Free Run mode which makes the game accessible for all experience levels (I love stuff like that).
