I'll keep saying this over & over - nobody got into shmups to play novice modes. They got into them because they saw Hibachi, Larsa, an Ikaruga double play or something like that. Devs gotta be confident & have a punk attitude & spend less time thinking about novices

the correct way to do retro gaming is to arbitrarily seek out one super-obscure game to make into β€œyour thing” and if you see anyone else discussing it you basically need to attempt to ruin their entire life

Now I want to play it again… I always wished they expanded more on what this game was doing, maybe when the decomp is finished people will do custom levels or something. There’s really nothing else like Advance 2.

Some people will genuinely, unironically try to convince you that this game sucks.
Literally a top 5 sonic game imo

liking game genres that spawned from the arcades condemns you to forever suffer cuz no one outside of the bubble gets it and every developer wants to the appeal to the guy who doesn't get it

This game's sick and costs basically nothing, check it out if you're a fan of action-puzzle stuff

Rest in peace Itagaki, one of the GOATs. He didn't just make awesome games but also changed countless people's views on what action games could & should be. Actually had a really strong vision on how to push the genre forward, directly shaping people's tastes

did not think hollow knight two would be the game to reassert movement and spacing fundamentals over i-frame dodges but. praise be unto team cherry, i guess

Natsume Atari has filed a trademark for Shatterhand in Japan: chizai-watch.com/t/2025097921

Shatterhand is a 2D action game originally released for NES. The trademark might suggest a remake or sequel is in the works, a la Shadow of the Ninja Reborn or Pocky & Rocky Reshrined.
