Thanks and goodbye

It's been four years since I started this news outlet. It's been a lot of fun and I've gotten to know a lot of nice and friendly people.

The state of the shmup/STG world is strong. Certainly stronger than those four years ago. We are seeing a revival of the genre, particularly on the Nintendo Switch but PlayStation 4 is also a strong contender. Xbox One tries I guess and if the full heritage of the Xbox 360 at some point becomes playable on an Xbox again that will be an absolute treasure trove of shooters becoming available.

Anyway. I don't have the time/energy to keep up with all the news anymore, try as I might. I suggest you follow @shmups on twitter to get your updates on the genre.

I will  try to keep the Nintendo Switch Shmups/STG wiki up to date - but would of course welcome contributors - after all, it's what wikis are about.

Thanks to everyone who came here for news on the genre.

I will keep tabs on my twitter profile @STGPilot and you can always reach me at dlundh[at]gmail.com should you so desire.

Stay healthy, practice social distancing. wash your hands often and wear a mask in public to protect the elderly and vulnerable if you can. It seems COVID-19 is here for the long haul.

Thank you,
Daniel
