R-Type Final 2 is a thing, apparently

A PlayStation 4 release is planned and they mention something about crowd-funding. This could be huge. It's unclear at this stage if this is a remake or a true sequel. More news, undoubtedly, ahead.

Bullet Heaven reviews; Rym 9000 / Iron Crypticle

When I  looked ta the trailer for this I didn't like the art style or the hysterical effects. And hearing in the review it has glaring technical issues too i'm just happy I didn't bother. But. maybe this appeals to you and you should pick it up? It is still available to pick up from Play-Asia as of this writing anyway.

Physical Psikyo Collection Vol. 3 up for pre-order

The physical version of the final(?) in the series of Psikyo collections for Nintendo's Switch, Psikyo Collection Volume 3, is now available for pre-order from Play-Asia but this time you get to chose between a regular and a Limited Edition.

The Limited is about 50$/50€ more expensive but does come with what can only be described as a mouse pad with squishable tits. Make of that what you will but this looks like a fine opportunity to actually save some money.

Strikers 1945 III, Sengoku Cannon, Gunbarich and Zero Gunner 2 are the games making an appearance this time.

It's expected to ship May 30th.

Caladrius Blaze to make Switch appearance

As spotted by @Elixir on Twitter, Taiwanese ratings are in for Caladrius Blaze for Nintendos shmup monster Switch.

Caladrius Blaze is of course already out on Steam and PS4 (and in it's non-Blaze costume on Xbox 360 and PS3) but it's nice to have another one in the bag for Switch.

The second STG Chronicle is here!

The continuing, exhaustive, series on the fabulous SEGA Dreamcast shmup/stg library definately continues to deliver.

So happy I got to chip in for this project:

Let's help this ambitious series get the number of eyeballs it deserves!
