Zerodiv hope to release both the 2D scrolling shooter Gunbird 2 for Nintendo Switch along with the mahjong game Taisen Hot Gimmick for Nintendo Switch to the eShop in May 2018. Thanks again to naruki!

Are you kidding me? This is awesome. I sold my DC copy years back for probably waaaay too little.

Really nice. It's the arcade version so Morrigan won't be playable, but still really nice, hopefully at the same price as the first one.

Gunbird 2 is an incredibly short but fun game. Hope it doesn't cost y'all more than $10, because I spent $50 on it on the Dreamcast back in the day and I'm still sore about it. Good kideo game though

Yet again, hoping for physical. Seriously, I'll pay a premium for a nice box of this on my shelf.

I wonder if they'll even bother with an international release for that mahjong game.

I have this on Dreamcast, really fun little shooter. They should bring over Mars Matrix and Giga Wing as well.

Have it for the DC and it's fun with some nice visuals and Morrigan from Darkstalker as a playable character. But I remember it being very very short.

I'm not sure what makes me happier more: Gunbird 2 or THG. I'm not certain that THG will make it over here, but if it does I can't buy it fast enough.

Looks like it's coming out on the 21st. Gonna be all over this.

I know a lot of shmups have been ported to Switch lately. I've got Zero Gunner 2 and Ikaruga currently - which other ones are worth grabbing? Are most of these good ports, or could I get better versions on other systems?

It's like the regular length of an arcade game...did you just pop it in your Dreamcast and 1cc it immediately?

I got all of them bar RXN Raijin, Terra Cresta and Quad Fighters K.

Aero Fighters 2
Pulstar
Strikers 1945
Gunbird
Dragon Blaze (super hard, can't recommend it lightly unless you're a shump aficionado)

Are my favs (with Ikaruga).

So uhh, I went to buy the game since I finally got paid today. I go on the eshop and it got removed? I know it just came out because it's still on my wish list with its release date of last week, but it says "Not Available For Purchase". Did something happen?

I bought it a couple of days ago.
Maybe they found a bug or something? Zero gunner 2 was removed too shortly after release and was reuploaded 2 weeks later.
Just wait and see

The same thing happened with gunbird 1. It went on the store, got pulled for several weeks, then came back. Similiar bugs in the emulation maybe?

Gunbird 1 was also delisted for a while and no one knows for sure why, aside from a rumor of a dev-side exploit.

At this point I just buy all Psikyo shmups immediately so I dont have to wait for them to hopefully show up again soon.
