  1. New blog post time!

    This week's game is Night Raid, an experimental and aesthetically buck wild shoot 'em up brought to you by Takumi, the makers of Giga Wing and Mars Matrix.

    Like those games, Night Raid values scoring, but goes even further by letting you get negative points!

  6. I really want to get into shoot-em-ups like Parodius or Cotton, but they feel impossible after dying once. I'm sure its a skill issue but if one mistake throws all my stats back to 0, what chance do I have once respawned? Especially in Parodius Da with the abysmal speed you start at. I might as well reset the whole game if I'm gonna be dropped in the middle of a bullet swarm with a pea shooter and a lead weight on me.

  16. Today I looked it up and I am convinced: #StarFox is a #shmup.

    In both #StarFox and classic #ShootEmUps like #RType, the #player controls the same two axes, left, right, up and down. The #game moves you forward automatically in both cases, whether the screen scrolls sideways or into the depth.

    A true "rail #shooter" would be something like #VirtuaCop, where you have zero movement #control and only aim. #StarFox gives you full freedom on two axes. The label "rail shooter" is simply inaccurate.

    #StarFox is a #3D shmup. That is all.

  21. 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.

  36. New blog post time!

    This week's game is Zunzunkyou no Yabou, a goofy-looking arcade shoot 'em up about taking down a cult as a Jizo statue. Its appearance may lead you to think it's all about humor, but beneath it all hides a game with more to say about itself and society circa 1994:
