DSi Shmups

There is an increasing number of them, but instead of making a separate thread for each how about a single thread

I take it you need a JP DSi to get these. Or perhaps someone will be able to hack the region setting for US DSi's eventually?
Really is amazing that we finally get slew of [new/original] hand-held shooters, where there once were few. I think Taito's Space Invaders Extreme had a lot to do with it.

Some vids would be nice.

All of the G.G Series shooters (Z-ONE, Wonder Land) and Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo suck.
The only ones that is even worth it is SIEZ and Aa Mujou Setsuna.

Dark Spirits looks like a nice game, but I wouldn't have too much hope since it's part of the G.G Series.

Wonder Land looked playable for 200 points from some youtube videos I watched. I am curious to see videos of Dark Spirits and Sora wo Kakeru.

Wonder Land was the only game decent out of every other G.G shooter, and even then, it was pretty dull. It's okay for some Touhou clone though. Definitely avoid Sora wo Kakeru.

Added a bit of gameplay footage.

Those Suzak shmups definitely look boring in the videos. Suzak's track record has been fairly weak, as well.

Dark Spirit will be out tomorrow, if anyone gets it, we would appreciate some opinions.

I've bought it 5 minutes ago. It's a pretty weird game. I'm not sure if I like it or hate it yet. There's a certain weapon you can get that breaks the game (Ice weapon that acts as a shield and can cancel every bullet it touches).

Please let us konw if you like it or hate it when you mind is made.

By the way, as a comparison, does Nanostray suck ? What about Nanostray 2 ?

It's pretty fun, but if you want a game you can play for a prolonged period of time (something among the ranks of Aa Mujou Setsuna), then this game probably won't be for you; but hey. 200 pts, can't really go wrong.

mumu · Post by **mumu** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 6:59 pm

Added Assault Buster.

SFKhoa · Post by **SFKhoa** » Sat Jan 23, 2010 7:05 pm

All the G.G shooters suck, why am I even interested in this one?

gatsu25 · Post by **gatsu25** » Sun Jan 24, 2010 1:35 am

Has anyone tried Assault Buster or at least found a video?

I purchased D-Tank (semi shooter) and its not bad at all for 200 points. Also, another game Shinobi Karakuri Den (not a shooter, but nice and old school) and its not too bad either, although I prefer the former. G.G has it in them so I will probably end up purchasing Wonderland, the best looking one to me so far.

Really I have no complaints, I hope they will continue to make shooters and get better at them, at least someone is doing it! As far as I'm concerned I spend about 2 bucks every time I get on the Subway here, and that's a pain in the ass.

SFKhoa · Post by **SFKhoa** » Sun Jan 24, 2010 7:48 pm

Yeah I guess it's decent for the prices. I still don't enjoy them after a while though.

mumu · Post by **mumu** » Wed Jan 27, 2010 5:11 am

Added Touchpen Wars and gameplay of DARK SPIRITS.

gatsu25 · Post by **gatsu25** » Thu Jan 28, 2010 1:22 pm

Does anyone have any more impressions of Dark Spirits? What's the deal with the aura(s?) around your ship?

Do these G.G Series shooters loop or is there a distinct ending?

SFKhoa · Post by **SFKhoa** » Thu Jan 28, 2010 2:00 pm

You have 4 auras that can shoot at 3 different formations depending on which button is held down. They are all powered-up seperately so if you want to power-up a certain one, you have to make sure that aura is the one that grabs the power-up icon. In my opinion, Dark spirits, IMO, is one of the better games in the G.G series, but it's still a little dull.

As for whether these G.G games have an end, I really don't know (and for most of them, I really don't care). It gets harder and harder the further you progress. I had trouble beating the 3rd loop of Wonder Land because the bosses literally spewed out bullet hell, and Z-ONE is way too boring to play through the end because its difficulty actually doesn't pick up until Stage 30. :|

I really like Nanostray 2, but the stylus controls for changing weapons on the first Nanostray make the game almost unplayable.

Another update! This game is a bit strange because you have to hold the DSi upside down to play it.

Anyone for a quick translation of those pages on the Tecmo game ? What difference does it make to hold the DS reverse ?

gatsu25 · Post by **gatsu25** » Sat Jan 30, 2010 12:57 am

Alright, I'm probably a bit wrong on it but I'll tell you what I know.

If you turn your DS around you basically become the enemy and your original ship becomes the new target. Surely there is more to it and that video would help immensely (that Kanji is rough for me). I'm not sure why it's not up seeing as how the release is next week.

gatsu25 · Post by **gatsu25** » Tue Feb 02, 2010 1:25 pm

If anyone gets the new gyaku shooting tomorrow I would love to hear some impressions. I'll probably get it if its any bit enjoyable seeing as it is 200 points.

guigui · Post by **guigui** » Tue Feb 02, 2010 1:58 pm

Thanks for explanations gatsu25.

Which shmup are you talking about that will be out tomorrow ?

Presumably this one.

gatsu25 · Post by **gatsu25** » Tue Feb 02, 2010 9:56 pm

Gyaku Shooting is the new one from Tecmo where you use your DS upside down. Gyaku basically means opposite.

gatsu25 · Post by **gatsu25** » Wed Feb 03, 2010 7:49 am

Has anyone tried it yet or Assault Buster? Impressions?

gatsu25 · Post by **gatsu25** » Thu Feb 04, 2010 9:34 am

あぁ無情刹那 is great by the way. I think its the perfect length for a portable shooter and really fun scoring system. It's a real steal for 500 points.

SFKhoa · Post by **SFKhoa** » Thu Feb 04, 2010 7:17 pm

Yeah, if one would have to pick among that entire library of shooters, Aa Mujou Setsuna is a -definite- pick.
