Nice hair.

[To Far Away Times]

Oh hell yes!

Great news for us shmuppacinos. Cotton Rock and Roll was so good, I'm hopeful they can build on that for a new sequel.

APM3 is Sega's current arcade platform - ALL.Net P-ras Multi 3. The first Rock'n Roll was an APM3 game too.

I loved the first Rock'n Roll, so I'm really looking forward to this. Definitely grabbing it whne it comes out on PC.

Inevitable tea cup version on day 1. Rock 'n' Roll is awesome, so I'm hoping for more of that here. Really need to get the PC version eventually.

A sequel already? Holy shit, this franchise is evolving fast!

[Steven]

I just hope they manage to make the game not run like complete shit in handheld mode on Switch this time.

[Steven]

I am, but handheld mode is nice. Besides, if you buy a Cotton game and don't get the tea cup, you're doing it wrong.

Panorama and 100% headed to both current and last-gen XBox setups in a few days.

[Udderdude]

ININ Games is putting more than just those two, very cool for the three people on here that own Xboxes that don't end with 360. Me included. lol

Digital only, according to Noisy Pixel, making the SLG versions the only physical versions apparently:

There’s an Asian release too, which I’m going for personally.

Kinda having a hard time getting my head around the idea that this game came out 24 years ago.

The past six months or so have sort of been a constant string of realizations that a lot of things in my lifetime happened much longer ago than I recollect. The numbers are correct, but I don't like it.

If there was ever a game not worth upgrading your console for, this is it.

[Steven]

I was going to say... isn't Rainbow Cotton generally regarded as being, you know...


bad?

While I am here, I might as well mention that while the big Steam sale just ended (and I bought absolutely nothing), Rock 'n' Roll is still 65% off for the next few days.

The arcade version of Space Harrier automatically centers your dude and that game works just fine. Rainbow Cotton didn't have Suzuki working in it, though.

I think Space Harrier is pretty okay on Switch using both the official Nintendo Pro controller and the Hori thing. Switch controllers in general are not especially good, unfortunately, but with these two it's a good enough experience. There is a Space Harrier at Mikado in Ikebukuro, but it's the more simple version instead of the deluxe moving cabinet. I wish I could find the deluxe version somewhere. Same with (Super) Hang-On, which I have never seen at an arcade, and After Burner II.

It would be nice if they fixed Cotton. Is the stage design generally okay?

[Jonpachi]

I'm pretty hyped by that video. It looks charming and playable at least. I'll be there day one on this for sure.

[Sima Tuna]

I'm always interested in seeing more rail shooters release, even if the original game wasn't amazing.

Space Harrier is great on switch btw. You can use the split pad pro in portable mode, or the pro controller docked. If the game is too hard for you, M2 have kindly included the super awesome Komainu Barrier mode, which reduces the difficulty while modifying gameplay slightly and adding a ton of little lore bits where the main character talks to the Komainu like they are his pets.

The Japanese Switch/PS5 retail release of Rainbow Cotton has what appears to be a significant delay. Playasia emailed me today to note that the previously scheduled April 18, 2024 release date has been updated and is now listed as Dec 31, 2024 (obviously a placeholder date, but that would imply a fairly lengthy delay regardless). Of course, I had just ordered the Switch cart less than a week ago since it was getting close to release. Mmhmm.
