Getting back to shmups

Post by Wolfexer »

So after a long hiatus after my burn out with shmups (i didn't play for about a 1.5 years) i got back into it, but i wonder how much have i missed.
I would be really grateful if someone could tell me about the biggest releases and happenings in the community.

M2 are the only company I care about at the moment, their ports are the best, I've bought Ketsui, Battle Garegga and Esp Ra De. They're also working on a brand new game, Senjin, I think. Whatever the name it's gonna be great! For happenings in the shmup community watch Gus' AGDQ Mushihime-sama Futari Ultra run: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/533026710?t=0h10m28s

And just last week I found out about a Megadrive port of Darius 1 that came out on the Sega Mini Console, nice surprise.

I've got nothing else so let's see what everyone else has to say...

You're in luck, as these last couple of years have seen a great resurgence for the genre! Both the PS4 and Switch have gotten quite a good number of releases, both physical and digital, and there's even more on the horizon. Welcome back, and enjoy!
