Shmups (Shoot 'Em Ups) |OT| THE FULL EXTENT OF THE JAM
- Thread starter Nya
- Start date
I've seen one or two impressions say there's less lag in the Bitwave version, which is to be expected as it's arcade vs. Saturn.
The Saturn Boosted version has extras though, the most obvious being the Saturn version, but also the remixed soundtrack and some gadgets, though not to the level of M2.
...I'd go for the version that's a fifth of the price and hope they haven't botched it somehow.
No reason not to play this in mame, honestly.
I stopped buying bitwaves releases after the first batch. Far too many weird issues with them, and the other release is the saturn version and there's no reason to play that over the arcade version.
Tried a couple of fun jam games today.
Gorygyx Rush
New little boss rush game from Gryzor. It looks amazing. The lying down boss in the second loop is brutal! He spawns a mechanical caterpillar thing which ended all my runs.

Night Ranger Mystia
This is really good fun, short caravan game with a sword mechanic. It looks like it's been updated since I downloaded it. Make sure you get the post jam v1.00b version instead.
NIGHT RANGER MYSTIA by Kevin Minh, Void dancer
5-minute Touhou retro bullet hell - soar to space and protect Planet Gensou from alien invaders!

Another chunkilicious pico-8 game today. Only one stage but it's loads of fun.
Praxis Fighter X
PRAXIS FIGHTER X by SPARSE//GameDev
Dodge bullets and fight the militarized police force defending a corporate toxic sludge pipeline.

I just bought the third Bitwave Toaplan collection to add to the others. I absolutely love Toaplan shmup graphics and I really dig the Bitwave CRT shader <3
I was hoping to get Vimana at some point, and here it is. I like this Batsugun version better than the Saturn one as well.

I tried the Cygni demo on Steam. I don't think this is for me. Visuals are nice, but I don't enjoy the ship movement and game mechanics.
Steam page is up for the next game from the developer of Flesh.

Is there a difference between the different regional versions of Batsugun? Wondering which I should be playing.
According to this lad on the shmups forum - https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?p=270430#p270430
"Batsugun (like most later Toaplan games) has its region defined via jumpers on the PCB, not by the data in the ROMs."
So it sounds like nothing changes. I've only ever seen batsugun and batsugun special. There's a batsuguna rom which is an older set, so maybe avoid that one as it's probably buggy.

I've been enjoying the Bitwave release of Batsugun.

Inexpensive, great CRT shader. Much better looking and more enjoyable than the Saturn Tribute Boosted release, imo.
Edit: The Bitwave releases of the Toaplan games are also available on GOG.

War of Aero by Allumer is now out on PS4 and Switch. This one seems to have been "inspired" by Irem's Image Fight.

Grabbed it but haven't played it yet, also never seen it before this ACA release…
OT but damn will I ever get ACA Amidar??? Hope it's not stuck between licensing, game is Konami's but iirc it's Activision in the west?
Hamster made the Switch into something 10x better than it would've been for me. At this point I have 200+ ACA/NG and the top ones I'm missing are mostly ones I'll never get, because from Capcom/SEGA's, or Popeye, Ms Pac-Man or because they need a spinner/light-gun controller.
FYI Ginga Force and Natsuki Chronicle are currently on an absurd 96% off Steam sale.

There are signs that the publisher (Rising Star) might be in trouble. They have a few other heavily discounted games (notably Deadly Premonition), possibly at risk for delisting.
The Seventia Collection on Steam

Gotta share coz this made me laugh.
Hot damn I've been waiting years for this. It looks amazing because the dev is a Vanillaware artist.
Yeah. I just learned about it the other day, and it looks sooooo good. Day 1 purchase for me, and I never even knew about the original.

Are these games any good? I'm tempted but I've never heard of them before.
haven't played them yet but the same developer made Judgement Silversword, Cardinal Sins, and Eschatos which are all excellent so I have to assume these are at least decent
Uh, that's certainly an unexpected departure for Missile Dancer.

It's being developed by someone else - so far they've apparantly done OK ports so it should be good.

That's great news then. I loved the PS3 version so I will definitely get this.
Nice, I was considering the 360 version but now I'll just get it on PC instead.Under Defeat coming to PS5, Xbox, Switch, and PC this winter

Damn, I wish some of these ports were for games I don't own already… like Raiden Fighter Aces collection, DDP SaiDaiOuJou, Border Down…
Also, it sucks that the ship has sailed for M2's bringing Ketsui and Battle Garegga to Switch, and I'm not holding my breath for them to make the jump to Switch 2
Not really a proper stg, but any impressions? How's the bg/levels variety?

Since I have all the other games it was cheaper buying the biggest bundle again for 16,84€ than buying the four new games for 19,32€
At any rate, this is a steal for these awesome classics. I never expected to own all this Toaplan goodness on Steam.

Any owner of import Aleste Collection on Switch? Not sure its a bug, but for Power Strike II , Sega Master version, there is two type for screen you can use M2 gadgets. Its either a widescreen format 300*222 ( yuk.. ) or a dot by dot 200*200. Its freakin small! Other games in the collection have a more respectable screen size to use M2 gadgets , like 300*300. Is it a bug? Looking over at Youtube and some players play 300*300 with gadgets on. Kinda make me crazy. Lol.
