For the uninitiated, what's so special about Gleylancer to command $400?
What is the top 10, actually? M.U.S.H.A., Thunder Force IV, and..?

It's rare, but it's also excellent. One of my favorite shmups on the system for sure. The presentation is great too, and it's a fairly ambitious game with a really long opening cutscene.For the uninitiated, what's so special about Gleylancer to command $400?
That's what I'm hoping as well. Seems plausible.So that Capcom Arcade stick thing is a bust, but I like to think there's still a good chance for a Capcom Shmup collection. They put a few titles from the Beat Em Up collection on there, so they should be able to pull games off for other bundles, too.
Total: Shikigami No Shiro Limited Edition (Card-Deck NEW) Sega Dreamcast Japan
$120.17
Can I ask what your fascination with the Shikigami series is? My only experience with the series was the localization embarrassment that was Mobile Light Force 2. I feel like the series has its diehard fans but otherwise I don't hear a ton about it.M.U.S.H.A. is the crown jewel of my boxed collection. I got it for a song.
Also:
I'm weak.
Great characters, crazy plots, fun gameplay with lots of variety. There's like ten of us, lol.Can I ask what your fascination with the Shikigami series is?

Did anyone ever get Anger Force: Reloaded? It looks pretty good. The devs are apparently Psikyo fans.
If anyone was wondering, it doesn't look like Sorcer Striker or Ketsui are going to be on sale for PSN Japan Golden Week.
They split up the good games more evenly this time. Vol. 3 of the other Psikyo collection has a pretty rough lineup.Japan's getting their own Psikyo collections for Switch--these ones have six games each instead of four: https://psikyo-portal.com/shootinglibrary.html
Volume 1: Strikers 1945, Strikers 1945-II, Strikers 1999, Sol Divide, Dragon Blaze, Zero Gunner 2-
Volume 2: Gunbird, Gunbird 2, Gunbarich, Sengoku Ace, Sengoku Blade, Sengoku Cannon

Wow I'd prob buy a Switch for that. Is there region-locking on Switch?

Nice, those are way better than the scattered lineups on the other volumes.
I wish they would hurry up and release Strikers 1999 on the eShop already though, wonder why it's taking so long with that one. I already have digital copies of Strikers 1 and II so would be nice to complete the set but I'll buy one of those volumes if I have to.
It's still coming as a standalone--August 29, same day as the second collection.
Just received my games!
Both Zanac X Zanac and Dodonpachi discs are mint. Really happy about it :)

tbh strikers 1999 is one of my favorites of the bunch and only of the only psikyo pcbs I've owned (and subsequently miss), so I'd be in for that and the package of other solid picks.
I need to eventually get a switch arcade stick if I really want to enjoy these titles though... :/
For tabletop mode, are you using one of those stands with USB ports? I do almost all my Switch playing in tabletop mode so those stands interest me, but I thought I heard some scary stories about them damaging your system.Magic NS my friend.
Use your PS/Xbox/etc sticks on Switch, it works even in table top mode for that sweet mini-TATE experience :D
Research and thank me later :P
Will do my reaearch! ;)Magic NS my friend.

Only thing I'm nervous about is noticeable input lag. I have the 360 > ps4 brooks adapter and it was a definite adjustment to the point where I just caved in and bought a stick

Not worth it.Hey guys, don't know if this is a good version but Fanatical has a Steam Dotemu bundle with Raiden Legacy in it for $1.99.
Bundle
Edit: Reviews not great but it's $2.
Not worth it.
EDIT: Oh I misread. It's part of a bundle... Hmm.... Yeah it's still not worth it.
Yeah, it's the usual meh dotemu wrapper. Avoid.
Thanks, steam sale page is a bit of a nightmare since they don't have a shmups section. Anything else I should look out for?Btw, lots of shmups on sale on Steam, made a thread about it (and more) here.
Crimzon Clover at 2€, Ikaruga at 5€, Cave shooters at -50/60%, Astebreed at 8€, Graze Counter at 5€, etc
