As a compliment to the blog I started a twitter account to spread the news and i've made some wonderful friends there already. Be sure to tune in for even more shmup news there.
It's been a very good shmup year with more news than ever, the future looks bright for my beloved genre.
In a rare sighting, big gaming news site Eurogamer has published a lengthy, knowledgeable review of the recent Ketsui Deathtiny release for PS4. Well worth a read.
Team Grybanser Fox's line of shmups (Zenohell) are on sale on Steam until January 3rd.
The last remaining 150 copies of Super Rare Games physical release of Steredenn: Binary Stars (SRG #9) will go on sale on January 3rd. So last chance to get it if you want it or face being gouged by eBay scalpers...
Cycle 28 is 50% off on Steam right now.
The developers of Rival Megagun discusses the games development.
Fire Lancer is new shmup out now in demo form for, wait for it, the WonderSwan(!). Also available on PC.
Riddled Corpses EX is getting a physical release on PS4 and PSVita, 3000 copies each.
And with that I wish you a Happy New Year (I miss the blink tag sometimes ;) ) and all the best for 2019. Keep supporting the genre you love by buying releases!
