I gave Arranged mode a try tonight... Stage 3 strikes again!

Wait, so that means Beverly Cleary's name actually means "Beaver Clearing Cleary"?

If you give me enough duck sauce, sure.

In the unlikely event that you own a Polymega console, you may want to pick up their Volume 8 physical release. Featuring games made by Visco, it includes the following shmups:

CAPTAIN TOMADAY ARC, AES
ANDRO DUNOS ARC, AES
GALMEDES ARC
UN DEFENSE FORCE: EARTH JOKER ARC
STORM BLADE ARC

 

Who needs new game consoles? They're saying this cart will work on the emulation-based 2600+ and 7800+ consoles put out by Atari a while back -- as well as the original 7800, if you happen to still have one!

It's April 2nd, which means that everything you read on the Internet is real today!

Here we go! c/shmups' first ever game of the month is Mushihimesama, by Cave.

It's most accessible on Steam, but if you've got a copy on Switch (now deslisted from the eshop), Xbox 360, or PS2, we'll take all versions. (Even emulation, but due to legal issues, we won't be able to directly assist with that.)

So let's go for it! This is meant to be fun and casual, so don't worry about getting top rank, just do your best!

Progress posts, score posts -- all Mushihimesama content is welcome and encouraged! Let's us know how the grind is going! Share strats and routes! Ask your fellow shmuppers for help or encouragement.

Top scores and 1CCs in each category (Novice, 1.5, Black Label, etc.) will be decided on April 31st, and featured in the sidebar

And now, ladies and gentlemen, the beetles!

 

Unlike the one in NYC, the homes here aren't skyscrapers, just huge, galling mansions. There's even a handy map that makes them easy to find.

 

My take: It would be nice if this collection contained everything ever associated with Gradius, but: 1) The Gradius franchise is HUGE, and porting every game into a collection would take years, and cost a lot more money; and let's face it shooters are a niche product, even famous ones like Gradius. And 2) There's every possibility that -- depending on how well Origins sells -- there will be another collection eventually.

From what I've seen, this package will be well worth the money for me. But we'll see how it goes.

 

Cool idea! But I'd give up almost instantly if I tried something like this.

 

After a long hiatus, Shmup Junkie has posted a new video to his channel, featuring fellow YouTuber Johnnygrafx's run-down of underrated PC Engine/TurboGrafx shmups.

And more big news, looks like SJ is working on his own video right now, featuring shmups on the Saturn. Excited to see what he puts out!
