I know there were some threads about this earlier, but new news, right? I've got the Dreamcast version preordered; anyone else?

MRORANGE · Mar 13, 2012

what? Dreamcast?

Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew · Mar 13, 2012

OH MY GOD!!!

thetrin · Mar 13, 2012

I would love to know if this is any good. If it is, I would totally invest in the Neo Geo AES version.

Shig · Mar 13, 2012

you cant escape you have no gun

sixteen-bit · Mar 13, 2012

I'd like to hear impressions once it's out.

I can review the Dreamcast version as soon as it arrives in June but the AES version will probably be long sold out by then.

Saroyan · Mar 13, 2012

Yikes 319 euro for the MVS version, I can appreciate the work and expense involved in custom manufacturing carts, but holy crap thats expensive.

Sophia · Mar 13, 2012

Clearly I need to get this for my newly obtained Dreamcast. ><;

Looks like a prety straightforward Turrican II clone, down to the weapons

patrickthehedgehog · Mar 13, 2012

I want this, but I'm weary to buy before impressions. DC version for me.

DTJAAAAM · Mar 13, 2012

I reserved the DC version a while back. Now I'm just waiting for development to finish.

Xater · Mar 13, 2012

Retro Magazine here in Germany had a pretty big article about this game in the last issue. It sounds and looks pretty sweet. And yeah the Turrican comparisons are quite right.

If only I had a Dreamcast...

Did they cover Sturmwind as well?

I know they covered it on their website. Don't remember if it was in any of the last 2 issues.

Dreamcasts are, like, 10 USD a pop.

hmm, you have a point.

nincompoop · Mar 13, 2012

55 US Dollars for this seems like a stretch.

Sn4ke_911 · Mar 13, 2012

looks like Turrican.

Blunt · Mar 13, 2012

Dreamcast version and a steak dinner or AES version and putting off health insurance for a few months.....

These are the hard decisions.

Bobs Big Boy · Mar 13, 2012

Sure, I'm in. So awesome to see the occasional Dreamcast & NeoGeo games.

Almost need to support it on principle.

They are also selling the Newcomer Bundle that contains their previous Dreamcst games along with GunLord if you want to catch up:

How are they? Have you or anyone here played?

I paid $20 for mine, but I didn't have to drive out of town or order it online.

Of course, then I discovered that the video cable that came with it was broke. So now I'm waiting for it to arrive today

If you like R-Type, you'll most likely enjoy Pink Bullets, and if you like Mars Matrix you'll most likely enjoy Fast Striker.

eXistor · Mar 13, 2012

Wow, this actually looks pretty amazing. I might get the DC one.

Hopefully that's a VGA box, right? Right?

Very good summary. There are some good videos on YouTube if you want more information. The prices in that newcomer bundle are quite a deal compared to eBay prices.

Bjoern the Smexy · Mar 13, 2012

HOLY WHAT!
I thought the NeoGeo finally died in 2003 or 2004. Boy, am I glad it's still on life support

EDIT: That trailer has such a great Turrican feel to it.

Genesis Knight · Mar 13, 2012

Someone on another forum pointed out that the shmup section at the end of the trailer is a very close copy of Strite (first level) from Thunder Force IV / Lightening Force. Very cool!

RedNumberFive · Mar 13, 2012

I've been itchin' to get a new MVS game, but that price seems a bit steep. Off topic, but does anyone know where I can purchase some empty shock boxes for my MVS carts?

TheDiabolical · Mar 13, 2012

im hooking up my Dreamcast again

Sophia · Mar 13, 2012

Genesis Knight said:

No, just standard third party AV cables. I *WANTED* to get a VGA Box, but I have no place to hook it up to that right now.

On the flipside, used copies of Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure 2 are coming with said cables and should arrive Soon (tm).

ElectricThunder · Mar 13, 2012

Looks stellar---I really hope the SpeedDemosArchive folks get ahold of this for the Dreamcast or some such as it looks like it would make for some epic time attacks and whatnot same as Turrican, Rendering Ranger, etc.

Will look into this. Remember thinking Pink Bullets looked interesting at the time. Always up for more Dreamcast games.

Yeah, and Pink Bullets is the version of Last Hope that is actually playable (original version was super frustrating; could never see what killed you). Fast Striker isn't as famous because it wasn't the first, but it's more of a bullet-hell shooter that's very fun, with great music.

Dog Problems · Mar 14, 2012

I'm so tempted to get this. I've had my eye on it since it was originally shown but told myself I'm done buying for Dreamcast. But it looks so good.

lilralphie · Mar 14, 2012

I've got the AES pre-ordered. ::cries over empty wallet::

Wow, that's dedication!

@MUWANdo · Mar 15, 2012

I thought Last Hope was pretty crappy and that spinoff game DUX was god-awful, but Fast Striker isn't too bad (although it is quite ugly) and this game looks pretty fun.

I don't know why they don't release this stuff on Steam. I mean, there's nothing stopping them from releasing on all these platforms at once; half the people that buy these legacy releases are only doing so so they can flip 'em on Ebay later on anyway.

PsychoSoldier · Mar 15, 2012

Oh neat, the game my little brother did some sprite work on (I think he did the metal dragon thing at the end)
