How many shmups projects are there in development?
How many shmups projects are there in development?
I ask because it seems like there have been a ton of announcements over the last few years either without any follow-up, or a kind of lacking follow-up:
Enzai Shikkou Yuugi
Cotton Reboot!
Garukilla
R-Type Final 2
Gun-Zaul
Ubusuna [M2]
Aleste Branch [M2]
Toaplan ports [M2]
Feveron Gakuen [M2]
Strikers 2020 [City Connection]
Death Smiles 2 and possibly other Cave games coming to additional platforms [City Connection]
And I'm pretty sure I'm missing some more M2 stuff as well. R-Type Final 2 probably shouldn't be lumped with most of these, but it's still kind of silly we don't have a demo when there was one playable in person nearly a year ago at TGS. If there's anything I should add to this list, or anything that came out on this list and I didn't realize, let me know.
Link for the DS2 and other Cave games thing since that's a little more specific.

Not sure if Papilio is currently being worked on, though it was quite a ways along last time it was updated.
Re: How many shmups projects are there in development?
That other M2 game, Battle Blade.
Re: How many shmups projects are there in development?
Yeah that one is looking pretty damn good! One of the ships is even a mecha with a sword, how to say no to that?clippa wrote: That amazing looking thing Charlene and boghog are working on - https://twitter.com/boghogooo/status/12 ... 4045838336

You're sure to be in a fine haze about now, but don't think too hard about all of this. Just go out and kill a few beasts. It's for your own good. You know, it's just what hunters do! You'll get used to it.

Dear me, I was just playing the latest demo the other day. Can't believe I forgot. It's getting better and better every time I dip in!M.Knight wrote:-Remote Weapon GunFencer

Should I also include SNK's new Metal Slug console game?
