Ps2 ntsc j shooters

[Speedkingfox]

Hi guys. Just got myself a ps2 test system and i,m looking to pick up some jap only shooters for it. I would really appreciate some advice on your favourtite games if any of you have a top 5.

Thank you in adavance

[Obiwanshinobi]

Gradius V
Sengoku Ace
Shienryu Explosion (for the excellent original Shienryu port first and foremost)
Psyvariar -Complete Edition-
Homura

(Psyvariar 2 Ultimate Final is the only Psyvariar 2 version that lets you perform roll with a button and Castle Shikigami 2 US is the most rad Shiki2 version.)

[Herr Schatten]

Mushihimesama
ESPGaluda
Dragon Blaze
Homura
Trizeal

dai-ou-jou

[Obiwanshinobi]

Speaking of Trizeal, does the PS2 port slow down in co-op mode as badly as the DC version?

[Speedkingfox]

Thanks guys. Very helpful

[Nasirosuchus]

There's also Dodonpachi Dai Ou Jou and Ibara.

Have a good look over BulletMagnet's:

The PlayStation 2 (PS2) Shmups Library
The Phenomenal PlayStation (PS1) Shmups Library

PS1 titles that should be avoided on a PS2 are identified at the end of the PS2 article in "PS1 Shmups Compatibility on PS2".

The only 2 you need!

I have never tried playing it in co-op, but since even the 1P mode slows down on a few occasion, I'd expect it to choke in 2P mode even moreso.

Raiden III
Thunderforce VI

They're the two ntsc-J titles I own. Will get Espgaluda one day and probably Mushi too.

Ant

[Kiken]

Twinkle Star Sprites: La Petite Princesse
XII Stag (break a joystick faster than playing Psyvariar)
Psikyo Shooting Collection Volume 3: Sol Divide & Dragon Blaze (ignore Sol Divide and play the hell out of Dragon Blaze)

[evil_ash_xero]

Do DonPachi: Dai-Ou-Jou
ESPGaluda
Psikyo Shooting Collection Volume 3: Sol Divide & Dragon Blaze(just for Dragon Blaze)

Great advice guys. Picked up ntsc j psyvarier. Great game. Playing in tate mode on a 32in

Sould ask the same re the saturn and dc really. Top 3 if you dont mind

[BPzeBanshee]

Seconding XII Stag. Btw, rapid side attack ftw.

You were previously linked to the PS1 and PS2 Racketboy pieces I compiled, but if you haven't happened across it already my first assignment there was for the Saturn. There's a Dreamcast article there too, though somebody else wrote that one.

[Obiwanshinobi]

Saturn (you want RGB monitor and lead for this one):

Guardian Force
Soukyuugurentai Otokuyou
Sonic Wings Special (played in tate on Hard)

[More expensive ones worth playing: Hyper Duel (Saturn Mode) and Battle Garegga, but you'd better have money to burn.]


I don't own a DC, but I'd buy those three first:

Cannon Spike (a.k.a. Gunspike)
Zero Gunner 2
Mars Matrix

[Gmintyfresh]

Gradius V
Ibara
Dragon Blaze
Raiden III
Thunderforce VI
