Retro emulation masters M2 have announced a new series of self-published releases called "M2 ShotTriggers" and two titles are confirmed for the first wave of releases: Dangun Feveron, which they announced some months ago, and Battle Garegga!

As always, we'll have to wait for the magazine to drop for more info, but Dangun Feveron was announced for PS4 so we can safely assume that's where Battle Garegga will be released, too.

Great. Iirc Saturn is the only home version of this game, correct?

 

[Dambrosi]

OOOOH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD

AND by M2, the emulation masters? Has God finally decided to bestow his Grace upon his sinful sheep?

Great. Iirc Saturn is the only home version of this game, correct?

Yes, and it's lethally expensive. If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

There's a blog dedicated to Garegga's innermost workings somewhere, could someone link it, please? Thanks.

Correct. It's quite a good port, in fact.

 

[Tizoc]

Holy shit
Heard of these games but never played them
Count me in

I don't recall it being *that* expensive but it certainly wasn't cheap.

Anyway this wasn't something I was expecting in a good way, I never got around to picking up the Saturn version and with thier track record I'll be getting this day 1.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Always wanted BG but never went all in with Saturn. PC would be the dream but PS4 is a close second for a readily available version. Can't wait.

 

[meppi]

Holy fucking shit!

Brilliant game!

Lets hope this ends up being a very long PS4 project with tons of shooters!.

Soukyugurentai next please!

Yes, and it's lethally expensive. If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

Wow, that certainly went up in price over the years.
I'm so glad I got to buy all of these games as they came out at the time.

 

[SolidSnakex]

It's for PS4

[hipgnosis]

Best news ever!

 

[djplaeskool]

Fuck yeeeah

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

Damn. Daaaaaamn!

 

[klee123]

Don't have to buy the Saturn version. Yay!

 

[JP]

Fantastic news. I really do hope that it does get a PS4 release.

 

[wild wild rice]

Whaaaaaaaaa

 

[Hayama Akito]

Happy 20th anniversary Garegga, the game that defines danmaku shooting.

 

[Secret Character]

Day. One.

This is one of my favorite shmups and, yes, very expensive to get. Super excited about this.

 

[drangleic tourism]

JPN PSN only, I guess? My only access to this game has been MAME...I've never seen a Garegga cabinet and the PCB itself has always been really pricey.

 

[Garegga]

Great news, Garegga ftw

 

[letmetrythisname]

Nice. Battle Garegga is my favorite vertical shmup so I can't wait for a version I can afford.

 

[sixteen-bit]

No fuckin' way! This is amazing.

 

[ChryZ]

Sick!

 

[Coda]

This is fantastic news! The PS4 is in dire need of some shmup love.

I still really want a home port of Ibara Kuro: Black Label on either PC or PS4 though.

 

[lazygecko]

All I know about this game is that it has a bitchin soundtrack.

 

[MilShap]

Awesome

[Empty]

this is amazing news. garegga becoming affordable and accessible by the best developer for the job.

 

[Jucksalbe]

This is great news. Plus the special "M2 ShotTriggers" label makes me hopeful there's plenty more coming up. Would be nice if they could release some of the otherwise extremely expensive games. This genre just has way too many of those.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Yeah I have high hopes for M2 STG

 

[BubblegumCrisis]

No fucking way

 

[sixteen-bit]

I wonder if they'll do Batrider or Bakraid in the future.

 

[hikarutilmitt]

YESSSSSS

Probably one of the best things I could wake up to this morning. I love the hell out of this game but never could afford to get a Saturn copy (that and I still haven't hooked up my Saturn after moving into the house).


Here's to potentially getting Battle Bakraid and Armed Police Batrider in the future!

 

[joanot]

Awesome !!!!!

ESP Ra.De & Progear next pls.

<3 M2

 

[microfolk]

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK

I need a Ps4 now I can't believe this news I'm more blown away than the flamingos in a K-scoring run

 

[Brian_FETO]

M2 the god holy shit

Batrider please

 

[danmaku]

Holy crap Garegga is still alive and kicking! Great that M2 is working on it, Garegga is probably one of the hardest arcade games to port properly.

 

[voOsh]

If this doesn't come to US PSN can I make a JP PSN account and purchase/download it? The PS4 is region-open IIRC right?

Yes. You will have to buy Japanese PSN cards, though, your credit card won't work.

 

[drangleic tourism]

Yes. You will have to buy Japanese PSN cards, though, your credit card won't work.

I think playasia emails you the Japanese PSN codes immediately so you don't have to wait for them to ship? Or am I thinking of somewhere else?

You can also use paypal for it, iirc.

 

[shaowebb]

I eagerly await playing as a ship that shoots knives into tanks again. Game is fantastic and the soundtrack reminds me of Phantasy Star IV music. Soooooooo good.

 

[professor denim]

Best news EVER! Video games are alive!!

 

[Beckx]

this is amazing

release dates would be even better!

 

[Intel_89]

Put them on a disc please?

 

[mobilesworking]

Long live M2. [salute, single manly tear]

 

[@MUWANdo]

Put them on a disc please?

These will be M2's first self-published games, so you should just hope they sell well enough to allow them to do more, and then maybe they'll compile them on discs once they've built up a library.

 

[djtiesto]

AWESOME, I wanted to buy the Saturn version for so long but it's just so damn expensive... love Garegga mainly for its incredible Detroit techno influenced soundtrack. Also didn't even know Dangun Feveron was coming too, that's another great bonus.

 

[JP]

It's simple enough to do. The web page will be Japanese though so if you can't read the language then follow a recent YouTube video of somebody setting up an account in an English language region. The selections will be the same so you just do it one step at a time.

 

[Lambtron]

I'm here for this.

 

[Daigoro]

port them to every platform. let everyone play!

 

[Tain]

So what's the deal with "Rev.2016"? Arrange mode?
