forgot I had this cart. I have scooped up #xevious on almost every platform it's been ported to when I could. the 3ds port is probably my favorite. the original xevious and i are the same age.
Gradius Origins collects 17 Gradius games together and is coming to Switch (and other consoles) on August 7.
Just finished #rayforce by credit feeding because I wanted to see all the stages. I think the last boss was probably a little too unfair. Love the stage design in this game. The later games really refine it.
Was hoping this collection would include the special mode in ray crysis from the psx port but otherwise it's been terrific.
Finally was able to get the full version of Voidblazers!!!
I'm excited to play it and am installing it right now. I don't have a lot of time before I have to go to tutoring today, so hopefully it finishes downloading onto my playdate by the time I have to leave. Playdate downloads are so slow still hahaha.
It's been like 20 years since I've had something that's a little under 50mb take more than a split second to finish downloading.
Great little handheld though and I hope I can figure everything out that I need to to port Codename: Crane to it.
I'll be writing a review of Voidblazers on my blog once I finish the game!
Check it out here yourself!

It occurred to me, as I was yeeting marbles and avoiding even the tiniest scratch on my unusually sized rodent body.
Typically, I say that my pattern recognition is pretty awful, hence why I am bad at SHMUPs. I now don't think this is necessarily true.
Admittedly, the SHMUP library of games I have played is pretty limited in the grand scheme of things. Lots of Touhou and a smattering of other games.
I think my issue and where I struggle with SHMUPs is that there is a lot going on. Visually, auditory, etc.
I just can't take it in and cut out the useless noise to focus on what is important.
A new Cotton game is in the works titled "Cotton Reboot! High Tension!" and it's set to be released on July 24!
My fellow SHIRO!, TraynoCo, takes a look at the game's details and the brand new characters set to join the series in his new story:
Looks like the 42nd anniversary of #xevious is either this month or next month for the NA release. I'll be 42 in a couple of weeks and I learned that there was a port of the game to the #3ds, so that'll be my birthday game! Once I get the #2ds all set up, I'll install it and play a few rounds on my birthday! #nintendo #gaming #shmups #stg
ShmupsBR Drops: Dezembro / Janeiro 2025
Horizontal arcade style shootemup Cycle Chaser H-5 is coming to Switch January 24 (it's been on Steam since 2023). This is another great looking one from Ratalaika Games. It has hand-drawn and vector-rendered 2D graphics, an FM soundtrack produced in YM2612, three weapon styles with three attack types each, and Free Run mode which makes the game accessible for all experience levels (I love stuff like that).
hit stage 3 on #chorensha tonight. not trying to 1cc the game or anything, i just pick it up once in a while. proud of my score, this is a tough one. #stg #shmups #gaming #emulation #retrogaming
I somehow missed this announcement last year. I'll always take more Cotton.
