Can't wait to see how they port everything over and how long it will take. It's a good time for retro releases!
So I should probably search around but who owns Eighting-Raizing properties these days?
Toaplan is great news but I need my Batrider and Bakraid. Yes I realize that they've already been porting them over, just wondering about IP ownership.
Speaking of M2, have they said anything else about Mononoke Ninpō-Chō at all?

Looks like Sunny Tam (Danmaku Unlimited) is already working on something new.
Is it not just the exa version of DU3 he's spit polishing?
Yeah, I've noticed on the shmups forum in particular that they're way more forgiving of crappy games so long as they're old and out of print and will set you back £100 for a physical copy.
A lot of them won't even try new games to find out if they're good or bad.
Indie games are the future of the genre and they can be as good as, if not better than some of the games from the big hitters of the past and they're being made on a fraction of the budget.
Monolith - Relics of the Past, release date Dec 25, fresh trailer:
M2 announced at a joint event with TATSUJIN, the current Toaplan IP holder they will be porting Toaplan's games to home consoles (FINALLY!!) with the goal of eventually porting over their entire library. This is the most exciting shmup related news I've heard in a long time, been hoping and waiting for years that the Toaplan IPs would finally get perfect modern ports.
I'd love for the Toaplan games to get the Shottriggers treatment.
This is awesome news! Toaplan has an excellent library of shmups.
Good to know, thanks. Really hoping we get a Toaplan collection at some point, though I know how unlikely that is.
Apologies for the delay, as in porting an engine for the first time to Switch, we ran into some bugs and we are unsure for Nintendo cert timing. Even if both won't make it in time, we are committed to Steam release next month with Switch as soon as possible after.
Owners of Jamestown receive an additional 53% off, on top of the 17% launch discount.

Left to right =>
- Select, Home, Start
- Left Stick / D-Pad / Right Stick switch
- RJ-45 port (hooked up Retro and UFB stacked boards. Supports pretty much everything from NES - PS4, just have to make a cable for it)
- Turns On / Off all non-face buttons
- R3 (stick click), touch pad, L3 (click)
A build video would just be me swearing 50% of the time lol. I have a few more photos though and happy to fill in any details if helpful.SoH That's a amazingly beautiful stick. Do you have a build album or video?
Which is the best way to practice an shmup?
Start from the beggining when you lose all your lives? Force through the end with infi ite credits? Or if possoble restart the stage until you learn how not to lose lives?

0x004000C1 should work for Reloaded, I guess it's still Unity as the previous game. SGSSAA really elevates things and gives a CGI like pop.I just started playing Sky Force Reloaded and damn is it addicting. The best thing about it is that it doesn't lock itself to 60FPS. Literally the most responsive and smoothest feeling shoot'em up ever.
Are there any other well done shmups that don't limit the framerate?
A new entry in the shoot 'em up series Cotton was announced at the Umihara Kawases BaZooKa! hands-on event held on December 21. Detailed information such as platforms were not announced, but it is planned for release in 2021 in Japan.
Cotton Reboot!, a reboot of the X68000 version of Cotton, is due out for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam in summer 2020 in Japan. It includes a faithful port of the X68000 version, as well as a new "Arrange Mode" with renewed graphics and characters, widescreen support, newly recorded voice-overs by new actors, and background music by notable games industry composers. There is also a "Score Attack Mode" where users can play timed runs (two or five minutes) and upload their scores online.
If someone had told me a year ago that Cotton was coming back in a big way, I wouldn't have believed them. I'm definitely down.
Finished my new stick. Everyone throws some fightman hadouken on their art. I wanted a shmup stick. Just in time for ESP Ra.De.
