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

I need to start playing Mushihime-sama.

Thatā€™s exactly what I did. The plan is iPhone <insert newest model here> when my current cell contract expires in October.

Hi gaiz! First post here

Iā€™ve only recently became interested in shmups. It started sometime in '08 when I started collecting them on Dreamcast (Border Down, Under Defeat, Triggerheart Exelica). Now that Iā€™ve recently bought a 360, Iā€™ve been able to play Raiden IV and Espgaluda II. Of the shmups I want to play, so far I havenā€™t played Otomedius Gorgeous (which I heard isnā€™t all that great but I still wanna play it anyway), Mushihimesama Futari, Senko no Ronde DUO (which isnā€™t out yet) or DeathSmiles.

I watched some vids of Dondonpatchiā€™s true final boss, andā€¦is Hibachi harder than Mushihimesama Futariā€™s final boss?!? I thought itā€™d never be possible to top the HARDEST BOSS IN A VIDEO GAME EVER, but I think Hibachi takes that one

Nope, no region-free for Ketsui, unless 5pb pulls a big surprise on everyone.

All the DoDonPachi gameā€™s Hibachis are known for being extremely difficult (which is fitting considering you basically have to 1cc the games up to that point, which means going through two loops of the game). This is Hibachi from DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu Black Label(the latest in the series): [media=youtube]SVSVrcUW17E[/media] . The final boss of Futari doesnā€™t have any special requirement to reach, so itā€™s not as rough as other stuff Cave has done.

After burner climax is out for PS3 and 360. Donā€™t know if its really a shmup or not but decided to post it.

IIRC, there is a TLB in ā€œGod Modeā€ (Black Label).

1LC all the way up to (and including) the final boss.

Gonna pick this up tonight!

Afterburner Climax is RIGHT!!! :wow: I just splooged on myself!!! This is the first shooter game that I can consider to be jerk-off material. :lovin: I take it back. I will replace my PS3, then I will aquire this game like a fighter jet aquires a targetā€¦ Hard, fast, and without the slightest shred of mercy. Thank you SO much for the link CalCal. May the woman of your dreams come to your house and give you the lovin on the kitchen tableā€¦prefferably with the family sitting there in shock. Not with the dog around though. Dogs always look at you with that fucked up look that just kills the mood and causes you to have to think what are they thinking? put the dog out first. otherwise, may all your dreams come true. :pray:

Man, I missed out on some great shooters by not owning a Turbo Grafx/PC Engine. The Wiiā€™s Virtual Console is helping me make up for lost time. Blazing Lazers is a lot of fun even if Area 8 is owning me. Compile did make this game so it shouldnā€™t surprise me too much that itā€™s blessed with awesome. I got Gate of Thunder earlier this week, which is also a solid shmup, but its more difficult than Blazing Lazers. Iā€™m gonna get Lords of Thunder when I get some more Wii Points.

damn. I guess Iā€™m gonna have to buy a wii now. TG 16 was the truth.

I stole this shamelessly from the SRK Lounge thread. :lol:

You reminded me I havenā€™t finished the final stage of R-type final where if you die the game just ends. I think I used the pilebunker and drill option ships. I donā€™t even think that turret/shield is even called an option its been so long.

Anyone here had the pleasure of playing Ketsui yet? The game is simply amazing. Both Arcade and X Mode are fun and extremely challenging (at least for me), but scoring seems different as far as the number icons go.

And Senko no Ronde DUO is breathtaking :lovin: I only used the orange one that the main character uses so far, so I could get a grasp of the system flow. B.O.S.S. mode activation is so cheap lol

anyone out there playing Sƶldner-X 2: Final Prototype know where all 5 keys in Turady Deep Sea (the fifth stage)

Holy shit, that looks FUCKINā€™ SICK! :wow:

It looks like I am going to have to download the game at some point. Is the multiplayer online or offline only?

^What he said. That is the FIRST game Iā€™m putting on the PS3 when I get a new one.

^What he said too. Now the PS3 is getting shot. :tup:

It reminds me of Gradius. Thatā€™s a good thing. Looks fun.

Yeah that looks amazing. Wasnā€™t that game originally on PC? I saw like a million advertisements for it on play-asia a couple years ago

So I got to watch my friend play Dodonpachi Dai Ou Jou Black Label on 360 yesterday. Beautiful game and awesome bullet patterns and system, once you get past the atrocious loading screens. SOOOOO glad 5pb did a great job on the Ketsui port
