Sega Saturn Tateable Shmups Help...

Post by moebinkay »

Recently got a great offer on a number of shmups for Sega Saturn, my main concern was if I were able to play them vertically (TATE)? They Are:-

Blast Wind
Gekirindan: Time Travel Shooting
Kingdom Grand Prix
Sonic Wings Special
Gun Frontier
Skull Fang

If you guys can help me out on which one can be played vertically, and ones that are not Id be grateful. Thanks

I think you accidentally listed Gekirindan twice.

Anyway, if memory serves the only one that doesn't have tate mode is Blast Wind (someone please correct me if I'm wrong - also, was there another thread that had a list of Satrun shmups with tate mode?).

Yeah, Blast Wind lacks TATE. It's actually not a true vertically-oriented shooter to begin with, and runs in a bordered yoko mode only. All the others are true vert-oriented and have TATE.
