I have been thinking about picking that up for awhile, but can't decide between getting it on Steam or Switch. I usually lean towards Steam for the better response time and use of G-Sync, but if there isn't a lot of noticeable lag on the Switch port I might just jump on that while it's on sale...

Not exactly a shmup (well... real-time strategy, but who's counting?), but TecnoSoft's Herzog Zwei is now up on the NA EShop (it says that it supports online versus play).

Thanks for the heads up, I'd been waiting on that one. Been hearing about this game for years. Glad I didn't blow my gold points this week when they put all the AGES stuff on sale.

So is that it? The series is over now?

Honestly, it's worth it for the access to the NES & SNES libraries, which have online play as well. If you get the family membership, it's $35 and you get 8 online accounts (which can be anyone), so you can bankroll it by splitting it up with people. I actually gave it as a Christmas gift last year to a nephew who generously gave me one of the accounts.

City Connection. Should be interesting after the heat their Psikyo ports took. Has anybody formally tested the lag in those since the update?

When searching Japanese store fronts, I find it easier to look up the Japanese name and then copy/paste that into a web browser storefront (instead of the console's built-in store front).

It looks like the list on the first page hasn't been updated since 2019. Is there a list out there of shmups only on JP e-shop?

trap15 and others have theorized that based on its looks Andro Dunos 2 is by the PicorrineSoft team (of Infinos Gaiden fame). I wonder if they really are involved? It's all hush-hush atm. It looks better than Andro Dunos in any event.

Interesting, thanks for the info.

It's the least we may expect for a sequel 28 years later. I don't think Andro Dunos looks bad though, it's minimalist but I like the somewhat cartoonish graphics and colors :)

Crimson Clover is out, and DAMN have I been missing out. Loving Arrange Mode quite a bit, though I only got in a few sessions last night.

Great News, man!

P.S. And yes, very similar to the "engine" used in Infinos Gaiden.
