R-Type Final 2 is a thing, apparently
A PlayStation 4 release is planned and they mention something about crowd-funding. This could be huge. It's unclear at this stage if this is a remake or a true sequel. More news, undoubtedly, ahead.

Bullet Heaven reviews; Rym 9000 / Iron Crypticle
When I looked ta the trailer for this I didn't like the art style or the hysterical effects. And hearing in the review it has glaring technical issues too i'm just happy I didn't bother. But. maybe this appeals to you and you should pick it up? It is still available to pick up from Play-Asia as of this writing anyway.

Physical Psikyo Collection Vol. 3 up for pre-order
The physical version of the final(?) in the series of Psikyo collections for Nintendo's Switch, Psikyo Collection Volume 3, is now available for pre-order from Play-Asia but this time you get to chose between a regular and a Limited Edition.
The Limited is about 50$/50€ more expensive but does come with what can only be described as a mouse pad with squishable tits. Make of that what you will but this looks like a fine opportunity to actually save some money.
Strikers 1945 III, Sengoku Cannon, Gunbarich and Zero Gunner 2 are the games making an appearance this time.
It's expected to ship May 30th.

Caladrius Blaze to make Switch appearance
As spotted by @Elixir on Twitter, Taiwanese ratings are in for Caladrius Blaze for Nintendos shmup monster Switch.
Caladrius Blaze is of course already out on Steam and PS4 (and in it's non-Blaze costume on Xbox 360 and PS3) but it's nice to have another one in the bag for Switch.

SNK, for music lovers
SNK Arcade Sound Digital Collection Volume 1 is coming to CD soon.
If you're into game music and like ASO / Alpha Mission then this release might be for you. I'm guessing it's not a huge print run so maybe pre-order?

A new resource: shmup video index
It's not every day a new shmup/stg resource opens up on the series of tubes. But today IS such a day.
The Shmup Video Index has opened, i'll let the Reddit post explain:
So this is a project that I think is really cool and something I have been working on for months. I think this is going to be extremely useful for everyone. It is called the Shmup Video Index, and it is a resource that compiles as many shmup replays of various games as I could find into one location. I am not hosting these videos, but merely acting as a directory. This is a win-win because it helps viewers find some awesome vids that would be tough to track down in many cases, and it also gives these vids more views since the index does not host the replays. What is also cool about this project is that it includes information about the run that is easy to access and organize, so you can find exactly what you are looking for very quickly.
