Classic Shmups I would like to see come back

Post by Dangerous_D »

there have been many over the years, one of which I was glad to see on PS2, Gradius 3 and 4 as well as Taito Legends 2 with a few Darius Games, but there have been many from the old consoles such as NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, PS1 and soo on I would like to see come back, these 2 are my personal favorites, so let's discuss one what retro shooters you would like to see brought back to life

"Come back" in what way? Rereleased? New titles in the series? Thanks to emulation I don't see much need for rereleases of games from older consoles.

Donkey Kong 3: Nazo no BBC. Basically DK3 for hardened adult gamers. Same awesome platformer/gallery STG hybrid but with ominous, often sexual overtones.

I wouldn't mind seeing a baseball themed Zero Wing parody game with some Space Bomber mixed it. "All your base are belong to us!" "No! Go to star!"

Well, the newer AtGames Sega Genesis plug 'n plays feature Arrow Flash. If that counts as a "coming back", there you have it.

You mean new games for old series or simply rereleasing the same old games? The latter is mostly unnecessary due to MAME. Load up your favorite games and go nuts.

Such an illustrious recital and no Uchuu Senkan Gomora or Master of Weapon? I'm gravely disappointed. :(

Metal Hawk 2- A scoring system and plot
I Robot 2- Add flat shaded polys everywhere
Arablaster 2- More laser action and compressed music!
D-Force 2- more directional force applied to the ship
Cho Aniki Saturn 2- more homoerotic bosses and digitized sprites that are so darn funny
Sol Divide 2- Fix up the gameplay to make it smoother
Mobile Light Force 3/4- The only series where you can improve with more MILF's, bad localization, and detectives
Mega Blast 2- Add more funny parodies at Konami
Nine Forces- now with 9 characters and Star force trap remix
Final Final Star Force- this one is truly the last one in the sub series
More Explosive Breakers- Now with more digitized helicopters and aircraft carriers

I think the natural progression would be "Laser Shark" and "Expert God", however you say those in moonspeak.

Mostly Gradius VI, because Konami dumped everything that can't be milked-to-death.
Honestly, getting any shooting-game in this day-and-age is a fucking blessing, lol.

Yes. I'd play the shit out of that.
