Tank gott! was so soured that it wasn't included, buying it now
Everyone's played 2, how many have played 1 and 3?
(Bonus: see how many you can name without looking.)
And 3's localization was masterful, doesn't get nearly enough love.
Rtype Final 2 is funded. This is neat.
Hey Cave, how about you start a small kickstarter for hiring an iOS dev to update your mobile ports?

or fund ports for the rest of their catalog to steam
Play-Asia cancelled my Gleylancer order :( i still don't understand why did they choose to press a set amount instead of having open pre-orders and gauging by that how many copies would be needed.
Reviewed the Konami Arcade Anniversary Collection:
It's a fairly deep write-up (4000-5000 words IIRC). I cover all 8 games with some detail.
I'm going to look like an idiot if Konami never adds region-select to this set. Originally I wrote this review with the belief that it wasn't going to happen at all (and scored the set a 5 out of 10)

I forgot they were doing a re-release, at least I guess you could play it on the MD Mini!
yeah but i'm more of a physical collector and was super excited someone was doing an official repro of it :( hope they come to their senses and do a second print run.
yeah play-asia would do that. I was pissed and started using them with caution after they cancelled my demon's souls asian version preorder 2 weeks before release.
I still used them for a handful of other preorders (CAVE shmups) until I ran into a couple more "inventory" issues and stopped using them entirely

What pisses me off is they fucking charged me, and then like 5 days later are like OOOPPSSS we don't have any, want this back in Playasia credit? No assholes give me my money back.

This has happened to me multiple times, including with them refusing to cancel and refund the rest of the order if I ordered multiple items to save on shipping.
I don't order from them anymore.

I mainly just use Amazon jp now. People also seem to like nin-nin game I think.
Basically yeah. If Amazon JP allows it, they're the best. You pay a bit more at first but that's because they cover up customs taxes. If they didn't have to go through customs, they'll reimburse you that some weeks later.
Then you got stuff like cdjapan, nin-nin, etc.

Wait they didn't patch it in yet? Didn't it make it in together with TATE options (at least on Switch)?
For anyone looking for it Raiden V Limited Edition for Switch is up on Amazon.
Momoiro Underground has been renamed to "Dezatopia" and is coming to the switch and pc - https://twitter.com/Hanaji/status/1138414746586079233
Glad I held off importing that now as I'm assuming this will be available digital for a nicer price and fix some of the exploits.
Also, it wasn't just a port of mecha ritz they were working on, it was actually a port of the whole stg builder engine! - https://twitter.com/Hanaji/status/1138414793977606145
This is excellent news for switch shmuppers. Many great indie games can now easily be brought to the switch!

momoiro underground is a weird one for sure. I've only played it a handful of times before I shelved it because I really don't understand the scoring - it's interesting.... and it's definitely not as intuitive as mech ritz was. the scoring strategy write ups made my head hurt too lol
I'll probably give it another go with the localization.

Woah! With this, the Contra collection, and the Mana collection I've spent a lot of money today unexpectedly, but I'm not complaining. I had been contemplating importing Horgihuge. Super glad to hear Momoiro Underground is coming too.
You will be able to get Asia/Japan version from somewhere else, i assume.
same.
it obviously has to be dangun feveron, mahou daisakusen/sorcer striker, or esprade unless it'll be a new game announcement?
of those three I'd love a dangun feveron physical edition.

I don't care who publishes them as long as they have English options. It's not absolutely crucial but also not a ton of work to localize.
I'd prefer preorders with LRG or someone else so as to avoid the usual nonsense.
Me neither. I live in south east Asia so im personaly not entirely dependent on LGR shmups releases since most have been physically released over here trough other publishers. i couldn't care less of who releases them...same for English UI. couldn't care less in shmup.
So Chippy is out, and if you have any love for twin stick shooters, don't sleep on this one.
It's a boss rush game where the enemies are comprised of a ton of breakable pixels. Bosses have a central core to destroy, but reaching them requires you to deal with smaller cores and barriers that get in your way. Instead of having to just shoot through everything, you can try to shoot out the pixels behind a core or other body part, and if it becomes fully detached from the central core, the whole chunk gets destroyed instantly. It's a really fun gimmick, and severing a large chunk of the boss feels great.

radirgy swag is really solid.
I think I'm enjoying it more than noa massive so far but I just started playing yesterday. If you play for score and can crank the multiplier up to x64 using your shields the bullet output is insane! leaderboards only have about 600 people on it so far though :O

It's only on the japan eshop at the moment and I'm not sure there are any plans for a localization, but it's worth the effort of buying (a lot of fun).
my favorite part of it is the fact that you're rewarded for playing at the top part of the screen/aggressive play which just floods the field with enemies/bullets and you have to hope that you can keep your shield up. Otherwise if you play at the bottom of the screen and aren't concerned with point blanking/killing enemies with your shield then the difficulty stays at a lull.
I spent some more time with it yesterday and hope to spend a little bit more time tonight before the rolling gunner localization hits the eshop tomorrow.
So is it a diferent game from the Dreamcast/Gamecube/360 release?
Rolling Gunner is pretty good. It's what im currently playing along with M2s Battle Garegga.
definitely different. it has that weird 2.5D look which actually works for it unlike the 3DS releases
core concept is the same. you use your shield to build up your multiplier and once you get your multiplier up you continue to use sword/gun to rack up points based on that multiplier. I don't know how to explain why, but swag feels more of a caravan mode in nature (sort of like massive mode but without the timer).
one negative is that noa massive looks way better/has more character, but it's still good fun.
that's probably a good point. if you're not into score chasing then it might not be as enjoyable but I've definitely been trying to pop some over(loads) every night ;)
(I will say the lady played a few rounds and had fun - and she only really enjoys the occasional surface level run of futari black label on the cab)

Rolling Gunner is really, really fun. "novice mode" is definitely way too easy (I made it to the last stage on my first try without really understanding the power-up systems or controls very well) but I'm looking forward to digging into it more. I know it's not graphically very impressive but I honestly think it looks really cool as well. I'm glad the switch release made it outside of Japan, and way earlier than it was originally announced I think, too.
Maybe try Casual mode. Is way harder than Novice. Things get more hectic after stage 3. Its easy but maybe it will take you a few runs to get you a 1cc and its a great practise for Normal mode.
Definitely more Deathsmiles than Gradius. Lots of pink/blue bullet paterns and small hit box. Develop by ex Cave staff.
is there no online leaderboards in rolling gunner? I was excited to see where I ranked but only see local scores.
I sank some more time into radirgy today and even though I crushed it I still can't break the top 200 leaderboards ._.
