Not actually that important
Strania is coming? Wow another one off the list of 360'a exclusives, good!
TWNeo is on Steam too?
Man I love this thread.
What does Steamspy say about Mushi sales?
edit: 13,268 ± 2,828
so already topped the X360's standard release LTD by probably 1/3rd at least (guesswork, it sold 5k first week), pretty good

That comes out to be about $15. That's pretty damn generous of them.
No. The developers of that game are releasing a new shoot'em up on PC.
Also, Gun Wings finally has a date of "November" and has its Steam Store Page up.

I paid good money for this Dynex!

It's colorful, but that trailer felt like it was a little too close to doujin jank for comfort. But, who knows. Could be cool.
Do you know Maxxima? Still in development but it looks good.

Updated the Strania and Gun Wing's data. Added Maxxima to the list.
I will also add Mad Devils to the list as soon as we get a screenshot for the game. It's an Isometric shooter from Itzy Interactive

Whoa!!! This next game looks surprisingly good. From the devs who made Suguri, QP Shooting (which I thought was pretty damn good) and 100% Orange Juice.
Sora.
I'm usually not a fan of cutesy asthetics, but these guys know how to make good games. It's the sequel to Suguri... which I need to actually play now.
Check out the 60FPS trailer on the Steam Store Page
I also updated all upcoming releases with their developers and their Genre. If you see anything that needs to be changed let me know in a PM. Thanks.

Oh wow...I love the game play on this one. Definitely need to buy this later on. Thanks!
Horizon Shift was added to Steam back in May. It looks fantastic, it has 73 positive reviews and 0 negative reviews, and right now it's only $1.69. Might post impressions later if I have time.
There's some movement at the Varstray.com website. I commend them for trying their hand at doing English because I know they don't have the cash to get a proper translator. I have a feeling this game is going to be something to look forward too.
Hopefully they hit us with some footage soon seeing as how this game is being released in 2 weeks. The mechanics system explained for the game sounds pretty awesome.

That's a lot of promising information! Dariusburst may be just on the horizon, but I definitely don't want to lose this game in the shuffle.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I finally got my Asus PG279Q monitor (it's a G-Sync monitor), hooked it up, turned it sideways, and played a round of Crimzon Clover.
My God. It is unbelievable. This is the first time I've felt like I've really gotten an arcade experience playing a shmup at home. 27" is absolutely the right size for it, and G-sync + good picture quality makes shmups mind-meltingly beautiful to look at.

Awesome monitor and awesome game, indeed! Crimzon Clover is a true gem!

I wish somebody would step in and remove Raiden Legacy from existence.
Raiden is cool, Raiden Fighters is better still, but Legacy (and dotemu) are trash.

If someone can come in and fix the ports in Legacy then I say let it live.

Then it'd be an entirely separate release. Legacy is just plain bad, and probably can't be salvaged without just starting over.

You're right. It's probably DotEmu trying to cash in on this resurgence.

Alright, I need to get my PC arcade game setup in order, in light of all these shmups.
What arcade stick should I get? I want something built like a tank. Was thinking the Hori VLX Kuro. Not sure if there's another alternative to consider.

Seems that DotEmu officially brought over Pulstar, Metal Slug, Shock Troopers, Shock Troopers 2nd Squad, and Twinkle Star Sprites over.
These games require you to lock your hz to 60 for them to function correctly. I'll make entries for these either tonight or tomorrow. (If I can pull myself away from Guilty Gear Xrd)

Has anyone bought any of the new games today? Gun Wings and Bullet Heaven 2?
I'll be picking up Gun Wings tomorrow with Guilty Gear. Just want to bundle my purchases.
If it's going to be primarily for PC use I'd get something natively supported by XInput.
Also, I'm assuming that stick uses Hori's Hayabusa/Kuro parts. I've been using a couple Mad Catz Sanwa sticks over the years (mostly my trusty 2009 360 TE stick) and when I got the PS4 HRAP V5 I didn't like the feel of the buttons quiiiite as much (the stick is VERY close). Easily replaceable, though, if the big form factor is the main draw for you.
Danny Dudekisser

Form factor is the biggest draw. I haven't bought an arcade stick since the original TE and TE S came out... they were decent, but still didn't feel quite as solid as I wanted. I want something that's actually going to feel the way an arcade panel does. Like, you can slap the buttons fucking hard, and you don't feel the panel reverberate at all. And yeah, the parts are going to be immediately swapped out for a Seimitsu stick (probably an LS-56) and buttons.
Might also have to buy a Taito ashtray to complete the experience. I don't even smoke.

Okay, I bought Gun Wings.
On first play... I realized that this takes after Ikaruga in a big way. It uses the polarity mechanic to justify waves after waves of almost incomprehensible patterns and expotentially increasing difficulty per stage. I fed 10 continues to beat the game. There were some parts where the dodging was clicking, but I thought I was done right there.
Then I tried switching to weapon 2. Seriously: do not even quit your first session until you have tried the weapon 2s. In most other games, these would be game-breaking. They all have novel functions that feel like they could give you a massive edge.
I'll have to try some more.

Man that SNK 25th anniversary bundle came outta nowhere with Pulstar and Twinkle Star Sprites. Don't forget that if you buy those you can go into the files and their will be a zip of the roms for them meaning you can play Twinkle Star Sprites on FIGHTCADE with ggpo vs friends online

I really hope this sort of thing becomes more common. MAME, and similar, are such a cool thing that it sucks to have to skirt around discussing them. Having legit avenues for official rom dumps is crazy nice, even if the audience for that sort of thing is not huge.

There's a series called eXceed, which I got 1, 2, and 3 of on Steam a few years ago. It's a decent bullet-hell vertical scrolling shmup.

Fun fact. When the trilogy first hit there were translation patches for Gun Bullet Children that fans were setting up. I helped them out a bit by playing through and beating it with all three characters and screenshotting all the dialogue to help them get the word wrap errors noted for any characters that overflowed outside the box. Games were mad fun. My Swaghausen was so fun to play in Gun Bullet Children.Here's a link discussing the translation patch if you're interested and would like to have it.
Jade Penetrate Black Package by FAR was the best and had the most stellar boss fight music with Intersect Thunderbolt.
Well I mean, they're not selling them like this with the explicit understanding that people will just extract the ROMs and play them elsewhere, it just turned out that way because a) they're on PC and b) the packaged emus aren't worth bothering with.
Well, that's not going to happen:
I think in some cases they really could just sell the roms.
Yeah, I know.
I think I understand the why but I still like thinking about the what-if.Some venue to sell the roms and educate people on using MAME (or other choice emulators) would be nice to see.

As I recall, didn't Taito Legends 2 on the PC use MAME? Like, officially?
The emulation on the PS2 version was pretty shoddy, so that was the version to get.

The 15th? I see this was previously announced (I can't find the source) but man, it would feel more concrete if the Steam page were up by now.
Any Japanese shmupers should check this out. In the very least, it's an awesome sign of where the focus is for shmup fans in the future!

Edit: So, there's an official thread for this already. Check it out.

The Taito Legends games in general were amazing bundles to own. Fun fact though...depending on which console you owned it for there were different exclusive games packaged on them. Taito Legends 1 though was the same across the board unless you owned a japanese version called taito memories which was missing 5 games from legends.
Taito Legends 2 though had some noteworthy console exclusives though...
Taito Legends 2 Exclusives:
PS2- Raystorm, G-Darius, Sylvalion, Balloon Bomber
Xbox/Windows- Bubble Symphony,Cadash, Pop N Pop, Ray Force
PS2 was my pick for version, but it sucked not having Ray Force aka Gunlock.
