More Switch catch-up

Sky Force Anniversary is in the eShop, a welcome addition to this series. You need to grind, grind, grind your way through it but it's fun all the way.

M.A.C.E. Space Shooter is also in the eShop, looks to be your basic 2 player co-op vertcially scrolling shooter.

SNK 40th Anniversary Collection is out in the eShop as is Atomic Robo-kid, a new entry in the awesome Arcade Archives series.

RocketsRocketsRockets is a player vs player shmup out now.

Playing catch-up

M2STG has just announced a bunch of great things: ESPrade is coming (probably to PS4, I haven't seen platform mentioned), Battle Garegga is coming to Nintendo Switch and there's also an announcement surrounding Aleste 30th Anniversary coming next summer. ESPrade is the pre-cursor to Espgaluda and has to my knowledge never had a console release before. It's CAVE at it's best so this is very welcome.

As previously mentioned, Super Hydorah was coming to Nintendo Switch and it is out now (released Nov. 15th).

Astebreed arrives on Switch, on time!

Bullet Heaven review of Battle City (Famicom)

Most of the 8-bit output is too primitive for me to enjoy (PC Engine mostly exempted) so I'll pass but you may enjoy it?

The Atari ST gets a new shooter

The Atari ST line of computers were made in the mid 80s up until the mid 90s and are still remembered fondly. I was a Commodore man myself back in the day but I did own an Atari ST 1040 briefly.

But more significantly (and on-topic!), a new shooter has been released for it: r0x zero.
It may be time to get another ST then...
