FTA: "It will launch on May 29, 2025 in Japan with support for English, French. German, Portuguese, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese language options."

So if it doesn't come out internationally (no word on that yet), you could still grab a physical edition from Japan without having to cope with Japanese menus (*cough* DOJ *cough*).

From the article:

Angel at Dusk (Sanuk, 7th Nov, $14.99) - The newest answer to shmups. A game which is "uncompromisingly skeletal". That is, a game in which every last ounce of excess has been cut away, and only its framework quintessence remains. Bones free themselves of flesh, laying waste to needless entrails! Revealing a skeleton of extraordinarily strength.

The relevant bit from the larger article:

Following the recent delisting of Live Wire's port of the arcade shooting game Mushihimesama, they've just announced that their remaining Cave ports will also be unavailable for digital purchase from December 2 due to an expiration of their publishing license. As they stand, DoDonPachi Resurrection is currently available on Steam and iOS and will remain available for the foreseeable future, but Espgaluda II's previous ports (a Japan-only Xbox 360 port and an iOS port) are long unavailable, meaning there are no current commercial alternatives to the Switch version. Do note that both games have received separate physical runs in North America, Japan and, very recently, Europe, so you may want to look into those while the prices are still somewhat reasonable.

That Radiant Silvergun package looks neat.

More Toaplan! They're so hot right now! /s

I wouldn't necessarily suggest getting an Evercade to everyone. But if you already bought into the ecosystem, then you might find this review handy.

Toaplan's been getting a lot of love lately, what with Slap Fight and GrindStormer[ set for release on modern consoles, the announcement of a new Evercade collection, and today we get the news that Twin Cobra, Slap Fight and Grind Stormer are all going to get brand new deluxe, physical releases for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

Now that I think about it, the Genesis is getting a lot of love these days, too!

Hey, everyone.

Are you ready for another MTP episode? In this one, I speak with DharmaPunk about his experiences with arcade shooters.

We went with more of a casual, conversational approach as opposed to the typical Q&A style and I feel this worked a lot nicer.

Thanks so much, Christian! It was a blast talking with you!

Enjoy the video, and we'll be in touch soon!

The first review is in for the twin-stick spin off Raiden Nova. TL/DR 6/10, but take it with a grain of salt.

You know, I have been sleeping on Battle Bakraid.

From the video description:

1 Credit Clear of Battle Bakraid (Advance Course), the third game in the Raizing / Shinobu Yagawa Bat trilogy that also includes Battle Garegga and Armed Police Batrider, played with Flame Viper C, and featuring a beginner's guide and full commentary.
