I know right?
I mean, look at what the difference going from vertically scrolling Elemental Master on MD to Blast Wind on Saturn,

Edit: Now granted, Elemental Master isn't pushing the MD hardware, it came right after TFIII and long before TFIV. Just an example of like for like (pure 2D sprites) going from MD to Saturn in a vert. scrolling shmup. -- Also, I know about Hyper Duel, I've played the arcade version emulated. It's pretty impressive but wasn't originally made on Saturn / ST-V Titan hardware, even though it was ported to Saturn with a visually enhanced / reworked Saturn mode. Anyway, Thunder Force V could've been a far, far more impressive and better game had it been made in the style and spirit of TF IV. I don't think I'll ever find another shmup as well made in that same style, and yeah, I've played Gley Lancer and Eliminate Down. Don't get me wrong, they're both very good, just not TFIV-good!

No idea, where the passwords come from. Probably another case of, "those master guides don't sell themselves"

thanks for the info!

Wow, never got to play this one. Looks fun and charming.
It's not a popular game and Toaplan died before the option presented itself.

It's a terribly long and boring game, the ex Toaplan staff did the right thing in porting Batsugun instead.

All this Raizing love... I hope titles that haven't previously got a home port like Bakraid or Batrider are next.

Mahouo Daisakusen got a port on the FM towns, not very accessible to most though.

I had the PCB for a while, but wound up trading it.
It's amazing - but like the original Truxton, the game is super hard. It suffers from the same problem Gradius has die and lose all your power-ups, making a hard game near impossible.
Don't get me wrong I loved it. The graphics, presentation and music are some of Toaplan's best. But I traded it for Batsugun, which is far superior imo.
Would love a Truxton collection by M2 on PS4. With a remixed mode that makes the game more fair. ;-)

What does that have to do with my post tho?

This is cool. Admittedly haven't played mahou daisakusen but I've sunk a ton of time into great mahou daisakusen.
I'm kind of excited

Just saying that just because a game got a home port doesn't mean it accessible to many people anymore. Sorry for commenting.
Siliconera has posted some translated info from Famitsu about the third M2 Shot Trigger project, Sorcer Striker. It's being released in Japan in Autumn next year.

that's such a long wait and now I want to pretend that I didn't know about it until summer next year...
Gematsu thinks the release date is Fall 2017, not 2018. I'm not sure who is correct.

i think it was back in october or november 2016 that i saw m2 reply to a guy on twitter saying they were looking into releasing the games in other regions, nothing since.
Ahh I see. Well I won't hold my breath.
Anyway guys, enjoy like those Parodius article scans? I wish I could find more scans including some for Sexy Parodius.
GameFan also covered at least some of the Parodius games, but forgot which issues had them.

Not actually that important
Just grabbed Strikers 1945 on Switch.
Awesome surprise! Didn't know it was coming :O
For the price it's a steal but too bad it's a bit half-assed with no online leaderboards and yet another half-assed TATE/Portrait mode and again with the nasty blur filter mandatory if you choose to have scanlines.
Still, it's a freaking Psikyo shmup!
Later in the day the glorious Aero Fighters/Sonic Wings 2 should go up on the eShop.

Thanks, that makes a lot more sense. Announcing a game of this type 18 months before launch seemed a bit weird.It's fall 2017.
For anybody who is interested, Aero Fighters 2 was released yesterday as part of the ACA NeoGeo collection on PS4.

I wonder if they have any more releases planned. I'd definitely jump on Sengoku Blaede if it's in the cards.

You can rotate the controls but only as joycon L and joycon R, meaning you can play the game as if it was a hori shooter but it's impossible to play in handheld mode TATE using the "bottom" joycon to move and shoot
sixteen-bit

Wow, that's a really silly oversight. I hope it gets patched.
That's a Nintendo thing, they don't let developers support tate controls with the joycons attached due to concerns about stressing the connection on the mounting rail.

Did I miss the M2 STG Ketsui news? Just saw an insta post about it. Maybe it was lost in the Sorcerer Striker hype.
tomwhite2004

Ketsui was announced at the end of april, no real updates other than they hope to release it before the end of the year.
EDIT: Just saw the official site went live if that was the news you were referring to, confirmed to be a ps4 digital release.

At first I was ecstatic because I thought it would be a sequel, of course inspired by the Saturn game....but this is just a port/ remaster, right? :-/
I mean, yeah, better than nothing, but still.
tomwhite2004

A sequel on the psx already exists. And yes this is just a port of the Saturn version.

Lightening Force on Genesis is super fun. On the SNES side I really like R-Type 3 but I'm probably alone on that lol. Pulstar on Neo Geo is really good too. Turbo/PCE is technically an 8-bit system, but there are a lot of good ones there as well. Soldier Blade is amazing if you can stomach the price.

It's fall 2017.
hell yes!! hyped once again.
I adore the mahou daisakusen art style so I'm really pumped to get a hands on with original.
Really enjoying this little game that came out on Switch today. A little shmupy but cool little mashup.
Nice! I was looking at gameplay of it the other day, looks fun and Twinkle Star Sprites like.

Playing tabletop TATE with Strikers 1945 on Switch is a thing of pure bliss.
This. Home ports of those two are long overdue and would have been far more preferrable than another (surely great) Ketsui port. Hopefully Mahou being ported is a good sign they'll be bringing the rest of Raizing's shmup lineup eventually.

Super Aleste has to be on that list no matter what.
Thunderforce 3, Truxton, Gynoug, Kyuukyoku Tiger, Gaiares, U.N. Squadron are up there as well for me.
No problem! It's so much fun to find these.
I've been trying to decide if I wanna get Sexy Parodius or the Detana Twinbee Yahoo! Deluxe Pack.

Go for Sexy Parodious over the Twinbee pack, I found them to be really dated games with an absolutely infuriating power up system.
Personally I would go for Jikkyo Oshaberi Parodius over Sexy, but really they are all very good ports of great games.

Sexy Parodius for sure, but the Twinbee pack is pretty cheap, you should be able to get it for around 20,-
My vote is for Sexy Parodius as well. Such a brilliant game.
But Twinbee for $20? I certainly wouldn't pass that up either. But after Parodius.
