Bullet Heaven unboxes Game Paradise

Game Paradise Cruisin' Mix Tatsujin DLC review from Bullet Heaven

That's quite the title for this post (try saying it fast a few times) but Game Paradise Cruisin' Mix got a couple of DLCs after launch. Here's the Bullet Heaven review of the Tatsujin DLC:



I'm thinking of starting up a Wiki with just Nintendo Switch shmup release information. Really just for my own sanity, there's just so many to keep track of. I'll let you know if I get anywhere with it.

Game Paradise Version 1.08 goes live on Steam

Game Paradise (Steam version) has a new upgrade, 1.08, available.

Fixes:

The developer notes that this fix should pretty much clear up any issues with sound cards.

So, I'm back and so is Game Tengoku and Vasara

Limited Run Games has announced that this very friday, February 1st, they will release a physical edition of Game Paradise (Game Tengoku CruisinMix) for the PlayStation 4. This is a regular edition with a special edition to be released at a later date. Of course, the game is already available in physical form from Play-Asia should you be so inclined, it's unclear to me if there are any differences between the releases.

That other Limited Release company that we all know and love, Strictly Limited Games, responded in kind with a tentative "coming soon" of a physical release of Vasara Collection for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and the PS Vita!

That 'ol Sega Saturn spirit is still alive. God bless it.

The Game Paradise is set to arrive in the EU

Game Tengoku CrusuinMix Special Edition is (finally) heading for an official release in EU, coming November 30th.

By way of the press release:

About:

Game Tengoku - The Game Paradise! is Jaleco's self-parody-filled shooting game, full of tongue-in-cheek references to video game tropes, off-beat humour and sociopathic pigs.

Released to arcades in 1995, upgraded for its console debut in 1997, now the original developers have got back together to bring the ultimate revival to PlayStation4 and Steam.

• 6 stupendous ships (robots, schoolgirls, ace pilots, pigs?!)
• 8 parody-fueled stages (JRPGs, driving games, karaoke and more)
• Multiple soundtracks, display modes and other extras
• Online leaderboards, time attack modes and eggplants galore
• A nostalgia-packed data library of Jaleco history
• Did we mention bomb-wielding pigs?

The international version features subtitled story skits, songs and fully-voiced ‘commentary’ in the data library, where the characters argue amongst themselves while explaining the various featured titles.

The Special edition adds exclusive remixed tracks for all characters, a new Clarice bomb, and more and will come as a free update to all current owners of the game!

Paradise Box Edition:

On top of that, we are proud to announce the long-awaited physical release with a special, Paradise Box edition, in collaboration with Limited Run Games!

It features an exclusive DLC ship: from the legendary Truxton/Tatsujin, replete with weapons, skull bombs and music from the maestros of Toaplan!

The Paradise Box will include:

• Game Paradise CruisinMix Special (PS4)
• 128 page Art book
• 2 soundtrack CDs
• An original anime DVD (English subtitles)
• Game Tengoku CruisinMix Special (PS4)
• 4x DLC (Clarice, Homura Banto, Voice pack + Tatsujin)
• And a few special, exclusive surprises that are bound to see fans in heaven (or paradise?)!

The summarized news

I'm still on vacation (with one week to go) but here's the news that's been rolling in:

Game Tengoku! / Game Paradise! CruisinMix went on sale in the EU / NA PSN Store without an announcement of any kind and Degica Games was quick to point out that it really shouldn't have. It's not ready for retail here yet. The game will get patched to retail level when available if you already bought it.

Super Destronaut DX has launched in the asian PSN store for both PS Vita and PS4 with the PS Vita being especially welcome, shmup releases for the system aren't exactly frequent these days.

Dimension Drive has launched in Asia/Japan on Steam, Nintendo Switch and PS4.

Iro Hero, already available on the Switch, is coming to Steam on July 31st.

Omega Fighter in Hamsters ACA Arcade Archives series launched two days ago (July 26th) for both Switch and PS4. I noted it was coming back in June.

RXN ~ Raijin ~ made it into the Japanese top 10 list for Nintendo Switch. They have a sale on where it's down to just 999 Yen there.

Radirgy de Gojaru!, the Nintendo 3DS spinoff of the Radirgy series has been re-listed in the Japanese eShop. Who knows how long it will remain there? Here's hoping the series will re-emerge on current-gen consoles.

The Game Paradise and Plus Alpha rumoured to be Switch-bound

There's more and more evidence that Jalecos The Game Paradise (previously available on the good ol' Sega Saturn, Steam and PS4) is coming to Switch together with another Jaleco shmup; Plus Alpha.


Plus Alpha is listed as Plus Alpha Beta so like The Game Paradise is likely a bigger, better version of the old arcade shooter.

The Game Paradise Cruisin Mix is out on Steam now

The new Game Paradise Cruisin Mix is out now on Steam at 10% off. The PlayStation 4 version is shipping from Play-Asia. It's in all japanese now but localization patches are coming next year.

A western release for PS4 is planned.
