Upcoming Switch and PS4 Shmups?
Upcoming Switch and PS4 Shmups?
Hello!
I have been out of the loop (lame pun intended) with shmups for some time, my last real foray into them being obsessively collecting and playing all the Cave ones on my JP 360.
With a recent Switch purchase, the addiction has returned something fierce.
Switch and PS4 Pro are my go to platforms right now and am wondering if there is a good source of info on who is releasing what in the near future?
I really hope Cave are going to be unleashing bullet hell on Switch!

Following Elixir on twitter @shmups is probably the best source.
Re: Upcoming Switch and PS4 Shmups?
Ketsui is being (re-)released on PS4 by M2, the third release in their "ShotTriggers" series (the first two being Battle Garegga and Dangun Feveron). I don't remember when they said it was going to release but I think it's some time this year.
This thread has a list of shmups on Switch, both released and upcoming: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62430

Will check that Twitter, thanks.
Those M2 releases aren’t happening on the UK / EU PSN annoyingly. Not a huge problem with multiple accounts, but not sure what warrants the $35 tag on them either.
And Gunbird 2 just got pulled from Switch eshop as I was wanting to buy it!

Re: Upcoming Switch and PS4 Shmups?
M2's console ports are the finest you'll find, they put real development effort into this, overcoming sometimes difficult to adjust technical differences vs. the original arcade hardware, an they add extras often useful to both novice and veteran players. You get a product that's practically perfect/accurate and you could call final, topping emulation and being immensely better deals than the pcb's that now price in the hundreds when it's not thousands.Black Sam wrote:not sure what warrants the $35 tag on them either.
Their strategy is quality rather than volume, but they are not a big company and need to live too, so that's the price.

I’ll probably grab them at some point when I’ve got everything else don’t suppose though there is word on them heading to Switch or at least Uk Psn?
Re: Upcoming Switch and PS4 Shmups?
Dunno...doubt it.
PS: Limited Run Games might release a localized version of Garegga PS4 in the west, that's all we'll get for now I guess (of course as usual with them you have to snipe your purchase and pay shipping+taxes)

Re: Upcoming Switch and PS4 Shmups?
Right, I completely forgot about that. I think Ketsui was the third announced and the "third" just stuck in my head...parodius wrote:Fourth, after Mahou Daisakusen/Sorcer StrikerShepardus wrote:Ketsui is being (re-)released on PS4 by M2, the third release in their "ShotTriggers" series (the first two being Battle Garegga and Dangun Feveron).
Re: Upcoming Switch and PS4 Shmups?
Hi i'm new to the genre and considering a switch but i'm concerned that the controls look kinda bad, is it playable?
Re: Upcoming Switch and PS4 Shmups?
You mean the joycons? They’re fine. The pro controller is amazing.
Re: Upcoming Switch and PS4 Shmups?
Seconded. And yes, the Joy-Con are perfectly fine to get started with, though games that use a D-pad specifically may take some getting used to with the individual directional buttons, unless you're used to playing on a PlayStation pad. Then it might feel a bit more natural.Black Sam wrote:You mean the joycons? They’re fine. The pro controller is amazing.
