LRG and those other limited print labels try to get the most recent available patch on cart/disc just to be able to advertise they have the best possible version of a release on physical media but that’s assuming Treasure or Live Wire can even fix it. I’m not much of an RSG head or even good enough at a given shmup to perceive lag but curious to know if it could get to what it was say, on saturn

US PS4 Arcade Archives Darius came out today. The store description says that besides the “original” version, it also has the “Extra” version; it doesn’t mention the “New” ROM revision that came out between “Original” and “Extra,” which the Japanese version has. Not sure if the US one does; I would think so, but dunno.

R type final 2 + first 6 DLC sets 40% off, seems like a good deal.

I kinda like the look of the 2D Raidens–like, Fighters Jet is particularly strong. Could never get into the gameplay of the series, maybe it’s mainly that I find rotating powerups troublesome. And the toothpaste gun is kind of hilarious but also kind of demotivating. The 3D games I’m not into the look of, they just kind of look plain and cheap like most 3D shmups.

Earlier this week I was mulling over whether to get Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX+. Decided not to in the end.

But look what’s now popped up on the eShop:

I had to read through the description a few times to figure out what this actually is:

  • Only the CS and DLC modes from Chronicle Saviour
  • CS Mode has some new stuff
  • DLC Mode only has the Sega and Taito packs; the other packs aren’t planned for release

ps vita wins again
