Man, playing Thunder Force IV on Switch is pretty difficult, even on easy mode in the original mode. Even Kids Mode isn't easy.
Yes, it's excellent! My only complaint would be that runs last a bit too long but they fixed that with the "threat of third force" DLC. You can run through both loops of that in around half an hour. It's an excellent game, smashing around like a vengeful pinball when hypering is so much fun.
Rival Megagun is launching November 29th (PC/PS4/XB1/Switch)
Amazing video, such an impressive library of shmup exclusives!
The X68000 rocks.

I really wish I could afford an X68000, the shump and arcade library on it is epic.
Switch is already a great arcade machine IMO. It's loaded with great shooters and more are on the way, but it's got a lot more than that to offer the arcade fan. The handheld tate mode you'll get soon with a Flip Grip is another game changing addition.
Switch is indispensable for the arcade gaming fan.
As far as BC actually this might be a good thing, with Cave self-publishing.
Damn dude. Nice pickup. Metal Black is sick. I've only ever played it on the Taito collection though.
M2 has mentioned something about shmups on Switch iirc in one of those big interviews a little while back, sounded like the main thing was getting performance/latency up to snuff.Fuck.
I should've grabbed BL before :(

Honestly I just want these releases to be available on modern platforms besides PC. I see little hope they'll come out for Switch because the platform is flooded by great shmups sold for a pittance, CAVE isn't interested in going below retail prices especially after Guwange selling like shit and unfortunately the games would have a hard time selling on the eShop at anything above $20, imo
I'm very excited to receive mine. I never do kickstarter things but with Jeremy Parish involved from the start, they hooked me right in. I already have the HORI stand that allows for both horizontal and vertical Switch gameplay, but being able to do it all totally handheld for $15 is a deal.
Wow! I guess Nicalis will help them again if that's the case.
Fuck Yes!
ESP Ra De has been confirmed as one of the next M2 Shot Triggers releases. One of my favorite shmups of all time!

I scoured the archives of Diehard GameFan, I found pretty much everything they ever printed on M.U.S.H.A and its CD follow-up Robo Aleste, a game which went by a bunch of different names:
While the nostalgia burst is appreciated, this post is far too image heavy and not at all kind to those browsing with limited bandwidth. Kindly requesting that you use a more concise number of images and perhaps link to a hosted album in future.
Edit: Lots of articles on M.U.S.H.A. and Robo Aleste.
