Nice, those games have a tendency to be sold sporadically and costly. I liked neo xyx from them the most though.

I don't post very much, but I really enjoyed Fast Striker on iOS (!! I know). Even though it was somewhat broken. This could be pretty cool. I hope it does well and they do a port to the switch.

Because having more shmups/visibility is a good thing. The game is solid and at $6.99 you really need to complain?

They redid it several times, judging by trailers. Ask neo-geo forums folks who preordered...

Will this be based on the NeoGeo version or Dreamcast version? I seem to remember some animation differences. Also it seems a bit too cheap which is keeping my porting expectations in check.

The article mentions a physical release via Play-Asia (as that question always gets asked).

The more ports and versions we get for other platforms, the better. Keep 'em coming!

Good news and at a very fair price for the digital version!
They really deserve some support.

Good job, NG:DEV. It's about damn time. It'll be great to see the game hit a wider audience. Hopefully they bring their other titles to modern platforms as well.

Cool, I've liked the look of their games but never really found a good way to play them. Glad they're modernising a bit. (I don't have a PS4 either but it's at least a more likely purchase in the near future)

More like why not? You'll get no complaints from me, just my money. Thanks, NG:DEV.

Jeneki, I'm sure it'd be based on the Neo-Geo version. That PS Blog article says it's the "latest 1.5 update".
Should more NGDT games show up on PS4/Vita, I'm buying.

Neo Xyx could work really well with a Vita rotated 90 degrees, like PSP Star Soldier.
Kinect? KIN NOT.

Yeah, it's almost like releasing games on dead platforms makes them inaccessible to a lot of people.
I haven't actively browsed/used this forum in many years and it's no longer an accurate representation of me.

I have retired from genre-specific content creation after 13 years, but I'll always love this little genre in my own personal way.

Trophy list is out! A simple list...

However, going for that 1CC and getting to the TLB won't be that easy.

What is the difference between the stage 6 boss and the final boss? I got the trophy for beating the final boss but not the stage 6 boss.

The game is fun btw.

So what exactly is a joker? I also wish the scores weren't so damn big, makes it hard to read for me.

For 7€ this is a steal.

I really dig this one; I like this is the best looking pre-rendered shmup (background stuff reminds me of original super stardust from 1996) and the music is kick ass.
I also like that the bosses KO very fast, like in mars matrix. Usually my main gripe in shmups is prolonged boss battles so this feels just right for me.

Afaik the joker is the blue dude that you blast off and earn extra bit of shield.

If you engage the offensive shield thing, you do lose the automatic shield then?
