Just saw a trailer for this game:
Looks like a mashup of Senkou no Ronde and Touhou? I’m really into that fusion. Anyone more familiar with this game mind telling me about it? @mauve?
I took a pass on this one so y’got me.
I’m pretty out of date on doujin games not from desunoya, really.
I might buy this.
All I know about this game is that it was overt enough about its “influences” that they had to get a license from G. Rev.

A G.Rev blessing sounds pretty good to me. I wish “shmup fighter” was more explored as a genre in general. Where is our Virtual On successors? (Ignoring Gundam vs Gundam)

you know which one i’d absolutely love to have brought over? the Not-Kunio game. it’s actually legit
i could probably actually get in contact with the dev about improving the netplay too…
It absolutely astounds me how many good looking Touhou fan games there are but we will never know about, but could totally just be solid original indie games if you just removed Touhou.

Are Japanese fans actually tracking/documenting all these releases better than the foreign fandom, or are threads about convention loot hauls still the most authorative sources?
I’m utterly amazed we are living in an age where we get trailers for Touhou spin-off games in English!
I’ve never played SNR but this looks pretty good.
Where can one acquire it?
Some of the better sources just kin dof gave up a few years ago. There’s blogs that cover them on an event by event basis, but the wikis have been unmaintained for years.

Pretty sure we’ve got the most authoritative lists here in the US, and they’re incomplete.
(wrt english releases, wake me when they release the windows versions of the games rather than just console ports, grumble grumble)

well didn’t it run on Type-X in the arcades and that got cracked and released to the internet like 5 years ago?
Alternately for like 5 dollars on the 360 under some other name I can’t think of right now.
The US title was WarTech: Senko No Ronde.
I thought it was Naomi, not Type X?
Or am I just confused and we’re talking about the touhou game?
that would be two or three years after Naomi/Dreamcast was dead, but I wouldn’t be surprised it if was Naomi. I guess we could search and find the real answer.
Whoa!
That’s the first Touhou thing I’ve ever seen that looks like it’d be tons of fun.
I’ve heard from internet aquaintences that Genso Rondo is shit, but then again SnR wasn’t really a “review-friendly” game…
Genso Wanderer, which is also getting a physical western release, is supposed to be pretty good.
genso wanderer is basically “here, we’re cloning shiren, not even pretending not to, and putting a touhou skin on it”
just play shiren 5 when it comes out in english this month imo
Does Touhou Genso Wanderer cover every Aqua Style roguelike released so far, or is it just a straight/polished port of the first game?
It’s the most recent one, which already has a Vita release.
I played the roguelike Touhou game at E3. It was really boring and purposeless. Really pretty though!!
You just get dumped into a sprawling labyrinth with enemies you can just ignore because they don’t drop anything useful, get lost a bunch and break some jars that probably hold the same weapon you’re using except +/-1, finally stumble on a boss room where they have a Touhou Talk and then you fight.
Really felt like a polished doujin game.
