Kinda dumb to split the stg genre into retro/non retro it's a very niche genre if anything it needs to be consolidated
Just saying
Been playing pic related and Robo Aleste rather a lot recently.
I'd say shooters are pretty well represented on Mega-CD.
is touhou vr?
>>3728114
No.
This makes no sense. The single general that already had ALL shmups in it can barely keep itself going and now we are going to make the situation worse?
>>3728114
It is.
Wife got me gg aleste 2 for xmas and just completed it for the first time.
Such a good game.
>>3728134
Because having more exposure to shmups across 4chan is just terrible, right?
>>3728114
post fatchouli
>>3728134
For a while both generals were running concurrently. Besides, it's not as if it is impossible to post in both.
Btw bump this thread, http://8ch,net/v/res/11634780.html
>>3728114
Only PC-98. Mods won't care if you talk about newer shmups, though.
>>3729138
That is bullshit, I'll personally spam report anyone discussing newer shmups.
>>3729139
oh shEET look out
>>3728145
>aleste 2
You playing it on a calculator?
>>3729160
It's a game gear game bro.
I like all the retro DLC Dariusburst is doing
Hard to believe Darius became the Smash Bros of shmups
>>3730218
It's pretty strange, but I couldn't be happier about it.
What went wrong?
>>3728106
What'd you think of Keio Flying Squadron?
>>3730280
Me too. The large price tag may turn off a good chunk of buyers, but those who do get into it are getting some great STG memorabilia along with a superb modern rendition of a classic series. It's a total win/win dealy-o.
>>3730729
Does anyone have a download for the Toaplan sound MCU? (hd647180.017)

>Because having more exposure to shmups across 4chan is just terrible, right?
agreed
>SEGA owns all the Techno Soft IPs
Thunder Force VII when?
PoDD is hard. . .
Do any full-body pictures exist for the DDP aircraft? I have a project in mind that's a bit unrelated to this board, but it can't really take off with such an under-detailed reference pic.
>>3737859
Poohoo crap go back to /jp/
>>3738002
Plz no bulli!
>>3738002
It's PC98 in other words /vr/ related now fuck off to /v/.
Mite b kool.
>>3738596
I'm really looking forward to it.
>>3738071
Fuck you, you have your own autistic board, /jp/!
>>3741467
>he calls 2hu players autistic when he's the one sperging out everytime he sees it posted.
>>3741467
/jp/ is for secondary containment. There's nothing wrong with actually talking about the games outside of it though.
>>3728114
Fuck out of here.
>>3742187
There is no need to be upset.
>>3742217
Why are most touhoufags coked up trannies and pedophiles?
>>3742257
I dunno. In my experience it's the math nerds that are into the 2hu shooters mostly.
>>3737859
I'm kinda mediocre at this. I love shmups though. If I streamed on twitch would anyone watch
>>3742665
sure
>>3742554
Why is there a Lunar IPS icon in a Mario game?
>>3742665
Definitely! I love to watch people at my own skill level.
>>3742665
I would.
>tfw pirated Blue Revolver
what am I in for, /stg/
>>3743148
Miyamoto is ZUN's uncle, you didn't know?
Does Takumi still exist? I'd really like a Mars Matrix PC port with the counterstop fix.
>tfw IREM got destroyed by that quake a few years ago
Hello sister thread~
>>3728067
>M2 has released Battle Garegga rev.2016 & Dangun Feveron exclusively for PS4
Just recently learned about that by hearing music for it on Youtube. One of the most interesting side scrolling shooters I think I've ever seen before.
Though in relation to Armed Police Batrider, do the Wayne brothers ever explain how they wound up in Batrider's world, or how Black Heart, Black Heart MK2 and Glow Squid-King Crimson wound up there too?
I heard someone say they mention something about being teleported into the future in their dialogue.
And it is really impossible to beat the game on max rank?
needs more treasure dlc for dariusburst which has the silvergun, ikaruga and bangai-o playable
>>3741534
Stop responding.
>tfw no Nemesis 3 remake with Gradius 3 assets
>>3743309
A decent game. Not great by any stretch, but fun enough and still better than I expected.
>>3748325
>tfw no remakes of the MSX games at all
>the one official remake is almost good but the difficulty and music are completely fucked
Bombaaaa
>>3751887
>>3751903
Perfect
>>3728106
That looks bad ass
They're doing Twin Cobra on STGW right now.
