The shooter games thread returns! The Empire Of Ammo says, EVERYBODY GETS SHOT!

Man…so fucking close to a 1CC on both Mushihimesamas…argh.

Get your $60 ready? Man fuck import gaming :sad:

Comes with the superplay DVD though man, worth it for that alone IMO. But might be pretty bitter since few people stateside have access to Ketsui yet.

Well Volume 2 of Shooting Game Historica is out now. But there is a surprise!

Musha Aleste (yeah M.U.S.H.A. from the Genesis) is a part of the set too! NCSX didn’t know about this either until they go the kits in. The guys behind these models really care about us fans. I would never never even guessed that this would have been made. Now I have even more hope for Einhander and Radiant Silvergun, as well as obscure crap. Here’s looking at you Thunderforce IV and Axelay.

EDIT: Oh NCSX… always on point with the photos. http://www.ncsx.com/2008/081108/ncs0811h.htm

I’ve gotta make my way to texas.

meh. I’ve been on SCIV’s dick for a week or two now between long periods of nothing and drinking. I need to get back to my shooting, but I wanna get some new shit. Hopefully this job thing will pan out and I can get a car so that I can get around more. no car = teh sux!! You know I’m hating it. I actually used leet to express it.

Yo folks my report from the CAVE festival today.

Was a lot of fun!

Looks like there is at least a possibility for Ketsui and DDPDOJBL to be region-free!

That’s it, I preordered TFVI.

Problem is, I only have a US PS2. Does anyone know of a reputable place that sells flip-top PS2 cases for the old, fat-style PS2?

I’ve had import Vampire Chonicles for over a year, but still haven’t played it. I have a magic slide, but I’m not interested in forcing the tray door open, so I’ve been holding out for a flip-top case, I’ve just been too lazy to find one until now.

Region-free?!?!?!

secretly begins to hoard money in small piles between the pillows in the couch. when the time comes, I will be ready.

Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu 1.5 True Last Boss vid: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm4284213

Apparently the safe spots were taken out in 1.5, so now it’s NO ESCAPE. Well, other than bombing or dying.

Yeah I’ve seen a couple guys get to this on bomb mode, which is actually pretty doable. Hibachi is basically impossible to dodge I think? Since the requirements for getting there in the first place are something like 2 lives by the end of the second loop, you will literally mow through all your bombs and lives killing him.

Btw I got a bunch of shit at the Cave matsuri: DDP DFK shirt (wearing it now), DDP DFK poster, Mushihimesama Futari mug, DDP DFK tea set (amazing!), Mushihimesama and Theresa Rose figure and some other junk. I am rolling in shooter love. :lovin: :lovin: :lovin: :lovin: :lovin:

Finally got the 1CC in Mushihimesama Futari Black Label.

Man, great game. I’m gonna move on here to the first Mushihimesama (which I’m really close to 1CC’ing) and the Dodonpachis next.

Hey shooters, here’s an update on what’s goin on:

First off, an acquintance of mine named Zap from the shmups forum went out to a SHMUP festival in Tokyo and brought back some footage of Thuderforce 6. http://www.flickr.com/photos/zapeipaa/2810172787/in/set-72157607019835536/ Check his whole set out.

Deathsmiles was announced for the XBOX360 AND a black label was announced for fall arcade release in Japan.

I finally got the 1CC on Mushihimesama Original.

I’ve been fucking with Ibara a lot recently. What a stupidly deep game.
I also bought ‘the lunatic IBARA’ DVD which is such a great product. Lots of insight into the scoring, rank and medals system and some sick superplays of course.

That’s it for now. After 1CCing both Mushihimesamas I think I’m gonna concentrate on either Ibara or Deathsmiles.

Damn… Fall is gonna rape me for games. But I gots to have my TF6!

Mmm, free range…and lol at the reaction of the audience when the boss transformed - “We’ve never seen that before!” :rofl:

So what’s everyone’s opinion of Galaga Legions? I played the demo for a bit and thought it was awesome, but opinions in the 360 thread seem to be mixed. What say yous?

Oh yes!!! I’m glad this thread was brought back up!! Just got a job back at wack-donalds so I’ll be getting paid like Balrog soon. Now it is time that I catch up with my shooters collection and shoot them up like never before.

…As long as the hurricane doesn’t wipe us out.

Magazine scan with some more Gradius Rebirth pics.

For the FPS heads here what is your favorite FPS of all time?

For me it’s crysis, such a gdlke game in every aspect. Nanosuit powers+weapons customization+sandbox world=the perfect FPS. Power struggle multiplayer is very clever and even regular deathmatch is awesome thanks to nanosuit powers:tup:

A close second is a tie between cod4 for 360 and UT3 for pc.

This is a shmup thread though. Althuogh I can’t remember whther or not FPS’s have actually been discussed here or not.

Damn seems i must procure TF6 this October.

you should start up an FPS thread, i’d sub! :tup:
