I sorta like that approach. While there is no argument that Bee Storm isn't the best possible game, the preservation aspect is a worthy goal and this is a game that has never been ported. From a historical relevancy point of view, it's still part of one of the most notable STG series there is.Steven wrote:Oh yeah, and while it's not really related to this release, Horii said on the stream that he's seriously thinking about doing M2 ShotTriggers Espgaluda and DoDonPachi II. Yes, DDP II AKA Bee Storm. He feels that it is worth playing/preserving, so he's seriously thinking about doing that on ShotTriggers.
Also, Bee Storm was the very first game I played at Mikado (Takanadobaba). It was purely for that curiosity of never having seen it in the wild!
Progear does have a modern port... Capcom Arcade Stadium. The big one that has never been ported is Ibara Kuro. ShotTriggers Ibara+Kuro has gotta be one of the most desired possibilities, it's certainly my #1. That, Batrider, and Bakraid feel like the holy trinity to me.pulsemod wrote:galuda 1 has a great PS2 port, but honestly, they're running out of CAVE stuff that could use a modern port. still not sure why they picked DOJ over DDP either, given DOJ's two (not perfect but better than DDP's situation) ports. progear is probably never happening, so what's left? just donpachi and ibara?
Beyond that, I think Donpachi + Dodonpachi would be nice. And I do like the idea of Espgaluda 1 getting a new port, PS2 games are a bit harder to play these days and while that was a great port for its time, it would be nicer to have the M2 full treatment.
