Mythical Xbox One STG Natsuki Chronicles gets December 25th release date

Natsuki Chronicles has been teased for Xbox One for a long time with some suspecting this was never actually going to be released. But now developers Qute has announced a December 25th release date for this (so far) Xbox One exclusive shmup and you can pre-order it. Seeing as the Xbox One is dying a quick and painful death when it comes to actual sales in Japan I think this title will jump to one or more of the other consoles in the not too distant future - or face a similar fate.

New trailer:

Rainbows, toilets and unicorns heading to all systems

Rainbows, toilets and unicorns (what is it with shmup naming lately?) is a new shmup heading for Steam, Xbox One, Switch and PlayStation 4.

Shmups on Switch reviews Sturmwind EX

Sturmwind EX launched recently on Switch and Xbox One so a review is in order right?

For a game that started out on Jaguar, it sure has come a long way. And yes, of course I've played it on my Jaguar!

Twin-sticker Xeno Crisis is out on literally everything now

After being successfully Kickstarted Xeno Crisis is now shipping for Sega MegaDrive, Sega Dreamcast, Neo Geo MVS/AES, Nintendo Switch, Sony Playstation 4 and Microsofts Xbox One (did I forget a platform?). I forgot a platform: Steam!

In a lovely twist you can buy just the game as a ROM for MegaDrive or a CD image for Dreamcast for people who just want to play the game without the added bulk (and wait for) of packaging.

The soundtrack is also available on vinyl and CD.

Debris Inifinity is available on Xbox One now

Already available on Steam, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 3, Playstation 4 and Xbox 360, Debris Infinity is now available on the Xbox One too.

Bullet Heaven double whammy: Pacific Wings & Vasara Collection reviews

Vasara Collection review round-up

With Vasara Collection debuting for download on (I guess) every platform today what could be more appropriate than a round-up of reviews?

Here's GooGame's review. The Xbox Hub quite likes it. Playstation Enthusiast seem enthusiastic. Gamespew seem impressed with the Xbox One version. Playstation Country is a little put off by how hard the game is. Remote Play reviews the PS Vita version and it's apparently a sweet package there too.

Subdivision Infinity available on every platform known to man

Subdivision Infinity is a new shooter from Mistfly Games available now on, well, all platforms.

Nintendo Switch, Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS and Android.

Digital Vasara Collection available for pre-order

Gematsu tells us that Vasara HD Collection will debut on Steam on August 13th, Xbox One on August 14th and on Nintendo Switch on August 15th. Still no word on firm dates for PS4 or PS Vita.

Great news if you didn't get your hands on the limited physical release.

Pawarumi for Switch: review round-up

With Pawarumi now out on the Switch, what seems to be the verdict?



NintendoLife goes with 8/10.

A physical release IS coming but it's still a mystery what publisher and date. But don't let that stop you from buying it today...

Nintendo Switch Raiden V Director's Cut trailer released

Raiden V Director's Cut is launching July 25th on the Japanese eShop.



The Nintendo Switch version is late to the party with the game out since forever on Steam, PlayStation 4 and (especially) Xbox One. It's still a great game though, if you've managed to somehow miss it and have a Switch, by all means get it!

Pawarumi coming to Switch and Xbox One

Cast back your minds... On January 30th 2018, Pawarumi was released on Steam.

Now, on July 24th, it's getting a release on Nintendo Switch with a physical release also promised but without any date set.

The homepage for Pawarumi also teases an Xbox One version...

Ikaruga gets physical again

Ikaruga is a really great shooter with puzzle elements or possibly a still great puzzle game with shooting elements. Whichever way you see it there's no denying that it is already readily available to play:
First developed for the arcade, it was first ported to Dreamcast and subsequently to GameCube, Xbox 360 (it's compatible with Xbox One), Windows, Switch and PlayStation 4. The physical releases in that long list of targeted platforms are only Dreamcast and GameCube (sure, the arcade release was physical but if you're into arcade PCBs you already knew that) however.

But now Nicalis is doing us all a favor and releasing it physically for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch:

No details yet on release date.
