Based and NMK-pilled: The NMK thread
So what is the NMK style exactly? From what I've seen, it is very basic but very well done shooting and dodging. You don't have hordes of slow moving bullets, but you don't have few fast moving bullets either, it falls somewhere in between. There's something kinda comfy about them for some reason, they just feel like good pick up and play games in a genre that is almost entirely built around pick up and play. I'm not really sure how to articulate it better.
Stop chugging Soylent and take the NMK pill, preferably using an overpriced energy drink. Maybe we can get Red Bull to sponsor Trap15, Plasmo, and some other NMK-butt-bois to play Saint Dragon for score on a competitive level, maybe even at Dreamhack. Imagine, thousands pay for tickets to dreamhack, fly in and book hotels, they go into the stadium so excited to watch Swedes play other Swedes in CS:GO. Then suddenly there's an announcement from the commentators. CS:GO has been dropped from dreamhack at the last minute to make way for the first annual hosting of the Saint Dragon scoring competition. Imagine the thrills. The cheers of joy, the excitement in the air. To make this dream a reality, all YOU have to do is send me the 16 digits on the front of your credit card, the expiration date, and the 3 wacky digits on the back. I will then use this information to pay for fetish art commissions and CS:GO knives. I'm going to stop typing now because I'm apparently incapable of going one paragraph without turning things into a stream of consciousness shitpost.

NMK and NMK.16 driver based-shmups are in most cases, clones of Raiden. Best examples are Thunder Dragon, Banpresto's Super Spacefortress Macross and even Comad's Air Attack. They also use the same power up mechanic of weapon switching through items.

Weapon items for switching and powering up is hardly just a Raiden thing. Thunder Dragon and Macross really don't play anything like Raiden.

Re: Based and NMK-pilled: The NMK thread
I am not even sure there's one common feature in all of NMK shmups, aside from maybe the presence of weird scoring mechanics or glitches (HMF right edge hugging, P47 Aces bumping, Gunnail last life multiplier, etc.)
Some of their best games like TD2 or Macross 2 also have a big focus on caravan-style destruction that isn't there in their other games AFAIK.
But yeah, the immediate pick-and-play fun is definitely there.

Re: Based and NMK-pilled: The NMK thread
Thunder Dragon 2 and Macross II are both fantastic, but people should also give Macross I a shot. Besides the milking being a bit excessive, it's a criminally underrated game that I basically never hear anyone talking about. It's much more fun than I expected it to be before I played it, just remember to use P2 side for more speed (just like Macross II).
That being said, I haven't put any time into P-47 Aces or Gunnail yet... one day I shall atone for my sins, fear not.

NMK made me question what I am doing with my life. When my parents ask me what they did wrong I just sigh and tell them it's not their fault, I played Zed Blade for score without autofire.

I thought about doing this at some point, then quitted as soon as I tried stage 1 lol.Jeneki wrote:NMK made me question what I am doing with my life. When my parents ask me what they did wrong I just sigh and tell them it's not their fault, I played Zed Blade for score without autofire.
Re: Based and NMK-pilled: The NMK thread
I've taken the NMK pill. I can't go back. These jank-ass games are too fun. What do you think the best NMK shmups are on switch? I need to feed my addiction.

Thunder Dragon 2. Always has been.
Macross games will never be released cause licensing BS, unless Hamster have balls of steel to do one.

Agreed, I think Rapid Hero and Macross I are probably my favorite NMK games. They're absolutely solid, and the music in them is fantastic.Square_Air wrote:Thunder Dragon 2 and Macross II are both fantastic, but people should also give Macross I a shot.
Re: Based and NMK-pilled: The NMK thread
Minimalist in form, but great in substance: this is NMK for me.
Gunnail, Macross and TD2 are awesome.

P-47 Aces and TD2 are their best shmups to me. Zed Blade is also my favourite shmup for the NEO•GEO. They had a rather rough period there at the start of the '90s, but they really came into their own by around 1993 and developed some fantastic stuff.
Re: Based and NMK-pilled: The NMK thread
Zed Blade/Operation Ragnarok is pretty solid, although the rank rise is kinda crazy.FabulousVioletGuy wrote:Zed Blade is also my favourite shmup for the NEO•GEO.
