I was surprised I couldn't find this topic anywhere on the board, so here goes.

Post your most recent shmup purchase here, along with its format. And hey, maybe a little comment, maybe not.

GUN NAC [nes]
The Guardian Legend [nes]

snagged em both on ebay, very inexpensively. currently I see Gun nac selling for 50-80 USD and I snicker.

Well, not exactly the same, but there is this thread - some people mention which title or two they've bought most recently. Will leave this open for now...

That. I think Ketsui Death Label was the last game before that.. It's been a while.

Arrow Flash

Got it with another game as an exchange for the *second* DOA Grind Stormer cart I won on ebay.

I believe my first thought was something like "this is alright; but at least it's better than Wings of Wor." Shortly afterwards, I start playing that one again and realize how much the opposite is true. I even got to stage 5 for the first time...

Yeah, Arrow Flash is a very poor game indeed. Only cool things about it are the intro and the last image after you beat it.

My last acquisitions were
- Battle Garegga
- DoDonPachi Daioujou (PS2)
- Fantasy Zone (PS2 Sega Ages 3)
- Psyvariar 2 (PS2).

The first 2 I got here in the Shmups forum Trading Station!

Death Smiles for 360. Before that, it was Senko no Ronde (JP) and a bunch of other titles that came in a YJP package:

@bulletmagnet

* Deathsmiles (XBox 360): not too bad but I like Cotton series better.
* Darwin 4081 (Mega Drive): played the arcade (Darwin 4078) to death. The game was just 480 yen (mint). Just need to get myself a Mega Drive.
* Darius II (Saturn): wish it could show the wide mode in a more proper way.

My last purchases are Super Aleste (SNES), DeathSmiles and Raiden IV (360). I only need an Asian Xbox360 now.

The last shmup I got was Homura but that was a present. The last one I actually bought myself would have been Dragonblaze maybe.

Death Smile just came in the mail today. Stupid Customs :s

Gradius 2 PCE, Super Star Soldier

Death Smiles Limited Edition

Before that was Thunder Cross II (PCB).

lgb · Post by **lgb** » Tue May 12, 2009 7:50 pm

I don't buy many shooters. I think the last I got was Gradius Galaxies.

Raiden III, if I ever buy a shooter soon in these conditions, will probably be my first choice.

Raiden 3 (PS2) - Is it just me or does the hit detection have a mind of it's own ? Sometimes a bullet barely scraps my outer wing and I'm dead, other times bullets can graze a decent portion of my wing and I'm fine. Meh, I only paid $10 for it (found it at gamestop of all places) and the music on the final stage rocks.

I've got Esprade coming in the mail, will be my first shmup PCB, can't wait......

Shumps4Free · Post by **Shumps4Free** » Tue May 12, 2009 10:29 pm

Yeah, Raiden III didn't really sit with me well. Luckily, like Aba, I was able to get it without too much damage dealt to my wallet. Good thing there's Fighters Aces to bring the Raiden name up a few notches.

Soldato J · Post by **Soldato J** » Tue May 12, 2009 10:30 pm

Just picked up Raiden Fighters Aces yesterday! I soooo hope someone localizes Death Smiles and Ketsui...and that Mamoru Kun (?) game too. I do NOT want to buy a J360!

So I didn't make a bad choice getting KOF XI over Raiden 3?

You made the best choice in that situation my friend.

Got Death Smiles and Raiden Fighters Aces this week. Ironically, the timing was such that I got the Japanese RFA (with the DVD) for $25 shipped from a guy who had just replaced it with the US version.

I've never had that problem on the PS2 version, so I'd say it's you. The game's about speed-killing everything in Double Mode, on Arcade difficulty; it's the most rewarding way to play it...

haven't bought anything new since muchi pork, which was about a year ago
