ANYTHING NEW BESIDES CAVE COMING OUT?

[2dvertical]

For the home consoles that is.. Not that the slew of cave shit isnt bad, but has anything else been announced?

[agustusx]

KOF sky stage is bout the only think I can think of that isn't already out.

[Jockel]

Trouble Witches Port for the 360? Or was it called Strike Witches?
Plus Senko no Ronde 2. Meh.

[Jeneki]

Milestone has some upcoming Wii releases. Radirgy Noah in Japan, and Illvelo in NA.

G-Rev has Senko no Ronde 2 coming to 360, if that counts. I haven't heard anything about their other new mecha game in a while now.

Did we ever get any screens of Trouble Witches/Strike Witches? Is it really a shmup?

Next unconfirmed loli shooters include Simon/Sky Girls/Fly Girls/Raimuiro Senkitan/Sora no Woto etc etc

I was under the impression that Strike Witches and Trouble Witches were different games...

People seem pretty pumped about this: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.ph ... 5&start=90

Yeah your totally right, they are unrelated franchises. Trouble Witches is a doujin with what you would expect from anime-styled witches, big hats and brooms. Strike Witches are the mecha nekomimis.

On a serious not I haven't seen any Strike Witches screen-shots, so until then whatevers.

RayStorm HD should get a date/release anytime now. I wonder what's taking so long.

[chempop]

Not looking too exciting outside of the Cave camp. I can't count either of those "Witch" games until we see some evidence that they are even shmups. So far we are looking at

King of Fighters Sky Stages
Raystorm HD
Illvelo
Radirgy Noah
SeisouKouki Strania (New G-Rev)

This thread is a good reminder that Cave is more or less keeping the genre alive. So basically if you care at all about the future of shmups then you should probably be showing support (regardless of which region their games are in). And people complain about how 75% of the topics are Cave related

[lgb]

of course there are those that argue that the genre just needs to finally die

A genre with a 30+ year history needs to be "75%" focused on now now now (clearly, 2D shooters are cutting edge).

[Danbo]

Touhou 13

[lgb]

yeah that was announced a few weeks ago or something, demo at either reitaisai or next comiket

Play every shmup ever released for atleast two hours. Deathsmiles V and Dodonpachi Dai oj jou jum Fumdumfukatuse Kai V2.5 will probably be released by the time your done

Genre's never die; not even the one's that should (coughFPScough).

I don't see that coming.
As long as there are fratboys i don't see the FPS and duck-and-cover shooters dying soon.

Yeah i wasn't too sure witch one was witch. get it?

I see what ya did there.

It already has one: 2/24.

Yeah, completely agree. No point in dwelling too much in the past for a genre that is still developing

It's this focus that stops shmups.system11.org from being yet another 'retro games' site #vomit.

I'm looking forward to Senko DUO and that other G.Rev game at the moment. The current Cave deluge is varigated enough to avoid stagnation, but it'll be nice to try something a little different

Why do you think your preferred genre of time-wasting activity is any more valid than other genres of time-wasting activities?

[captpain]

I DON'T KNOW MAN BUT I SURE HOPE SO!

Sorry for hijacking this but I couldn't resist - so I'll answer the question for him.

"Because it just is"

I'd rather play footari or RayCrisis by myself for the 1,000,000th time than play CoD or u madden with fratboys for the 100th time.

So, you don't like the old-time games, huh?

I'm also finding it pretty odd that there's still no release date for RayStorm HD, given that videos of a very complete-looking build have been kicking around for ages, but at this point I don't want to see one. Just surprise us. Soon plz.

Edit: ach! Didn't see Elixir's post. Cool! Pity I won't be able to buy a decent monitor to play it on by the 24th. My current 360 display is atrocious.

[xris]

There's still hope in xbox indie games. Something good has to come along eventually. Duality zf, Shoot 1up, and Judicator all look good enough to warrant attention.

[Taylor]

What ever happened to the Trouble Witches arcade release?

[Danbo]

when's the next Raizing game coming out

[TodayIsForgotten]

I tried searching for this but couldn't find anything and or got tired of looking. Has anyone heard that darius or darius burst is coming to Xbox?
