If you don't have the PC version already, make sure you pick this up, it's excellent!
You can still download the very generous demo that lets you play through the entire game on normal difficulty here if you want to try it out - http://deathmofumofu.sakura.ne.jp/game/neko_navy/
I really hope that gets patched into the pc version. I'd love a well balanced endless mode.

I'm over here dreaming up a Capcom shmup bundle, but isn't every game in the beat 'em up bundle both developed and published by Capcom? All the shmups we'd really want (Progear, Giga Wing, Mars Matrix...) were only published by Capcom. Could complicate licensing.
Is it possible to criticize a product or not?
I simply stated my opinion regarding cash stealing projects based on this "retro" popularity wave.
I am sorry if he felt offended, it is my opinion.

There are still plenty of Capcom-developed shmups out there.
The 194X series (1942, 1943, 1941: Counterattack, 19XX, etc)
Varth: Operation Thunderstorm
Forgotten Worlds
Exed Exes
Last Duel
Legendary Wings
Section Z
Side Arms
Vulgus
Varth: Operation Thunderstorm
and the already mentioned Eco Fighters.
You called it a repro which has become a cute euphemism for bootleg in the retro community. It's not, it's an officially licensed product.
I hate the repro thing or specifically how accepted they have become despite the obvious IP theft and fans translators having their hard work stolen but legitimate reprints by the legal rights holders are completely different and are to be commended.
True, but most of these are already available in the Capcom Arcade Cabinet, thus aren't nearly as interesting to me as a complete CPS-2 shmup collection.
And the beat'em up collection is all CPS-2, so I'm dreaming big.

I got my copy a little over a week ago and it's good. Really weird installing and patching a physical PC game in 2018 though, lol.
Eh?
Only Armored Warriors and Battle Circuit are CPS-2.
Really? This is what I get for posting with no sleep. Thanks for the correction.

ZeroRanger is out now on Steam, $11.99 with a 10% off launch discount.
I loved the demo, so this was an easy buy.

OT is up. Lemme know if there's anything I should add.
Oh, that looks cool. I'll probably pick that up.

bought! and same. final boss was very solid so I'm happy to check out the full release
Y'all really should be playing ZeroRanger, it's seriously impressive.
How's this for a Capcom arcade shmup bundle:
Side Arms
Gun.Smoke
U.N. Squadron
Eco Fighters
Giga Wing
Mars Matrix
Progear
...I would buy 3 copies. At least.

Picked up ZeroRanger and Solid Aether, 10 coins or less ... there's really not much to think about.
I just cleared Solid Aether. IT IS FRESH and very pure. The soundtrack is amazing. The final boss and its music gave me dopamine induced goosebumps. Delightful stuff!

Does anyone know if Battle Garegga and Dangan Feveron are gonna be released on the EU playstation store?

ZeroRanger is awesome too, mega fun and super polished. Game got tate, horizontal and vertical scanline options!

That's almost $100. I wonder how big it is.... I remember similar ships from a few years back, I think from R-Type, but those were super cheap in comparison.
Oh thanks for posting that! I found these guys, and really found them refreshing and earnest, when I was looking into Star Force a few weeks ago....
I'd buy 10. Hopefully that'd help fund a volume 2 with Forgotten Worlds, Varth, Dimahoo, 1944 The Loop Master and 19XX.

It's a double pack and it's figma, the pricing is in line with their other fan goods. The product descriptions says: "Overall length: about 120 mm each". Here are the prototypes on a 225x150mm cutting mat.
If you have a PC and claim to be a lover of shoot'em ups and don't have ZeroRanger then you're wrong.
Signed.
And in case anyone missed it 1upsuper's OT is up.
ZeroRanger |OT| WARNING: A Huge FINALBOSS Is Approaching Fast
Just saw on Play-Asia that a Psikyo Volume 2 collection was up for preorder. Are there any other shmup collections coming out for Switch that you all know about but I'm still unaware of? The only other one I can think of is the Darius collection, but I'm not paying the $100+ or whatever it is to get the "full" collection of games in that one.
A note for anyone interested: ZeroRanger works on Linux through Steam Play, and it really is as amazing as people in this thread are saying.
Only thing which kind of doesn't work is the first time you enable TATE mode it has troubles going back to fullscreen. Restarting the game fixes that for good.

Hey this is a pretty good sale; even the rarely-discounted Eschatos and Judgement Silversword are here.
I still remember importing single games from Japan for 100+ coins ... just a couple of years ago. Strange and wonderful times we live in.
These goddamned youths have no idea how good they've got it.
LOL
I have several Cave kits that I had in my cab within a day or two of HEY and the other Japan arcades putting them on location. I'd see people complaining about paying Steam prices, or Xbox 360 prices for those games and literally laugh out loud.
Ooooh this is tough....
Crimzon Clover*
Mushihimesama
Dariusburst CS
Eschatos
*is only $2 so it doesn't count as a full purchase.
BUT if you don't own ZeroRanger, you should buy it before any of the above.
Mushihimesama, imo, covers the most ground and is generally my go-to suggestion. It's gorgeous, the mechanics are prime traditional Cave, the Original mode in it is a great lower-difficulty (but still arcade-worthy) mode, and there's a good chunk of other modes to mess with. I'd put it over what I've played of ZeroRanger, and I'd definitely put it over Eschatos, but all four (five I guess) of the games that Radiant Silvertuna posted are great games.
If you're twisting my arm to just 3,
Mushihimesama, the 1.5 dlc is worth getting too, proximity scoring with rank, it's easier than normal to 1cc if you're hanging back and playing for survival, and it's so much fun to play aggressively. I always seem to end up playing this mode eventually whenever I load the game up.
Deathsmiles
Eschatos
but once you'd untwisted my arm, I'd be giving it all "Crimzon Clover is only a quid, Judgement Silverlegs is worth 15 quid, never mind 3, and Daifukkatsu is half price!"

I think Blue Revolver was far more deserving of the knicker-wetting this has been getting from the old guard.
I'm enjoying ZeroRanger but also finding it a bit dry and boring. I reckon a couple of extra scoring mechanics would have made replaying the levels a lot more interesting.
Amazing art style and I love the restless nature of the stage design, but I feel like it could be a lot more fun to play.
