The EXA-arcadia hardware is getting Infinos

The EXA-arcadia hardware is available to pre-order. It's a new system meant for arcade systems and is not aimed at the consumer.

Infinos is one of the shmups getting ready to launch on the system. AKA & BLUE Type-R, Super Hydorah AC, Blazing Chrome AC, Rival Megagun XE and Akyrios EXA are other titles in preparation for the system.

One last bit of Nintendo Switch news before heading into 2018

Aka to Blue, this years best danmaku shooter for mobile phones, is rumoured to be heading to Nintendo Switch.


If true this is great news! The Nintendo Switch has been steadily building up an impressive library of STGs. Lets hope the trend continues!

On an unrelated note, I hope 2017 was great and I wish you a happy new year!

AKA TO BLUE / AKA & BLUE from ex-CAVE employees out now!

In both app stores for iOS and Android. It's been out a couple of weeks in Japan but has now hit western stores as linked.
On iOS its available for both iPhones and iPads.

AKA TO BLUE is a bullet hell style shooter designed from the ground up for touch devices and is (unsurprisingly) very reminiscent of CAVEs work.

Some AKA & BLUE gameplay

Looks highly similar to a CAVE game to me.

Ex-CAVE-developers launching mobile game in the west in September

AKA & BLUE, release earlier in August in Japan for android and iOS is coming to western shores in September according to a Facebook post from the developer.

The game made by ex-CAVE-employees is a pure bullet-hell shooter developed with touch controls in mind.

The statement:

We plan to deliver the overseas version of AKA & BLUE in September, and we are developing it. Please wait for a while.

Because we have difficulty advertising overseas, we would like to ask everyone for their cooperation. Thank you.
