Where can I dig up lots of info on shmups?

Post by gamingjustin »

I've really only stuck with shmups.com for all my shoot-em-up info, but find I'm falling behind in the info loop. I see people talking about Raiden III and loads of shmups for the PS2 and Gamecube. I've never heard of most of them. So... I was wondering...

What're some good websites that talk about upcoming shooters?

How 'bout some magazines? EGM is cool, but never talks about old-school stuff any more...So... I hear some talk about Edge... Is it any good?

That's about all really... Just want to find some spots to fill me in on shmup-related info.

Thanks

When it's back in order, you'll have to try:

http://www.shootthecore.com/Home.html

Postman does an excellent job digging up and listing the latest new. Hopefully the site will be up and running again soon.

Sites that usually cover shmups related stuff:
http://click-stick.com/
http://www.shootthecore.com/
http://namakoteam.com/
http://www.insertcredit.com/
http://www.the-magicbox.com/
http://www.shmup.com/

Big sites like gamespot and IGN totally suck when it comes to covering anything else than the mainstream. As for magazines, most shmups are released in Japan only, so those are not usually covered by any western magazine.
