ok gonna sound like a rubbish thing to ask but what ones they got that are worthwhile getting? I love shmups , esp the vertical so anyones worth getting?

many thanks in advance

Star Soldier is your best bet for a Vert shooter. There's also...

Soldier Collection (The 3 * Soldier PC Engine games)
Parodius Collection
Gradius Collection
Salamander Collection.

And then Capcom Classics Remixed / Reloaded both have a couple of 194* games.

Oh, and Strikers 1945 Portable. Man I love my PSP.

Also, if you're running CFW, download MVS2PSP & CPS2PSP and then you have all the Neo-Geo shmups, Giga Wing & Mars Matrix amongst others.

That's awsome. After the acquisition by Square-Enix for some reason I thought a new Darius would never happen. Good on Taito.

Oh yeah. Oh yeah, baby. Day 1 import for me, just like the Parodius/Salamander collections.

This will probably be released on XBLA/PSN later.

Probably.

Don't forget Twinbee Collection and Ginga Ojousama Densetsu Collection (which has the very expensive and highly sought-after Sapphire along with two non-shmup games). Oh, and Space Invaders Extreme, which, while unconventional, is awesome.

I don't think any of the PSP shmups are worth buying IMO. This will be the first one for me. If anything playing Progear No Arashi via CFW was the best shmup experience I had on the system.

Pretty much all but one of the Darius games were terrible.

Figured this would do the Rebirth thing and hit WiiWare/Live.

Damn Play-asia for not shipping to Europe.

PS1 Dodonpachi in vertical mode, via CFM. Makes it worth having a PSP just for that.

You mean TATE? The controls still stayed the same when I tried it, which made it unplayable.

Dash Kappei · Aug 25, 2009

Fuck me, of all the platforms it just had to be the one that I don't have, damn I'm always that lucky eh?!

Definitely envious, but more Darius (besides the awful GBA port) it's always a fantastic news.
Enjoy it you guys!

Scans are out and about. Fishy designs look great. There's a new nautilus boss, too.

Edit: Still I'd hope Taito/SQEX would do the sensible thing and get G.rev working on this.

ghibli99 · Aug 25, 2009

Any shooter news makes me happy, even though the Darius series is one that I've never been that into over the years. I did enjoy the 32-bit era Darius games, though, and will keep an eye on this one as well (the scans I've seen look pretty damn good).

PepsimanVsJoe · Aug 25, 2009

Getting the soundtrack at least.

BuckRobotron · Aug 25, 2009

I can dig it. In fact, I feel like hunting down some Eight Feet Umbrella to celebrate.

Ravidrath · Aug 25, 2009

Whoa, fucking awesome.

I really want an HD version of G-Darius, BTW - am I the only one?

Gagaman · Aug 25, 2009

Please put Electric fan from Darius Gaiden in it. With the same music.

djtiesto · Aug 25, 2009

I love the monster designs in the Darius games but could never really get into the actual series very much. Still, exciting news... did they ever fix the d-pad issues in the PSP 2000 or 3000 models?

eggandI · Aug 25, 2009

Wow I remember this game from back in the day. Go PSP!!!!! I don't even like shumps, in fact, I find them boring but g-darius provided me tons of fun way back then.

It's true.

Whichever one that was released for the Sega Saturn was the only one really worth playing.

Most of the Darius games outside of that one have been ports or remakes of the first game and kept most of the original Darius' problems.

I think there was a Genesis and SNES version of Darius 2 that wasn't bad, but overall, the series really just lakes "oomph".

I also never played the Darius game that was only on the PSX, since I had a Saturn growing up. I hear it's pretty good, but two games out of a series of about ten or so releases does not make Darius a "good series".

FrostuTheNinja · Aug 25, 2009

Holy shit, this news came out of no where.

My brother got me into shooters at a pretty young age so... Day 1 import or domestic.

Can't wait can't wait can't wait...

He's just speculating though, there's still more people on their in-house team. Makoto Ohsaka (G-Darius director) is still there for one.

Tain · Aug 25, 2009

Yeah, I was just speculating on the SIE team's involvement.

When I think of Darius, I think of the main arcade series: Darius, Darius 2, Darius Gaiden, and G-Darius. These are all great games.

The 3000's got a great d-pad. No problems whatsoever playing Guilty Gear, etc.

Guilty Gear XX even works great on a 1000. I assume they eased the command windows for the PSP port.

Most of the Darius releases were ports of the arcade games though.

In truth there are four games. First was made in like 1986 so it's practically ancient and dated, Second was a bit of a black sheep, Third was Gaiden and is still very good despite multiple issues, Finally there's G. which is phenomenal.

It's a good series.

Augemitbutter · Aug 25, 2009

i've spend endless hours on Darius Gaiden.

btw, Taito also announced Raystorm HD for PSN and XBLA.

Also, Darius Gaiden is my favorite. I haven't played G-Darius too much, but I like its soundtrack the most.

Brand new Darius game after 2 billion years. Taito brings the war on fishes back on the portable scene. 11 stages, branching paths (starting from Stage 2, all stages have 2 paths, 5 stages per complete run, 4 possible final stages). Gundam 00 mecha designers on board for mecha design. Probably the only worthwhile article in Famitsu this week I bet.

G-darius had the finest shmup boss battles ever. I hope this one follows that route.

TheShampion · Aug 29, 2009

I hope this has multiple level paths. That was what always made me coming back to the Darius series
