The RGF Shmup League - Season #3 Game #2: taking nominations

[AmidstStorm]

The PS1 port of Donpachi is officially lovely, I'm rooting for that one. Raiden Fighters Jet is also another great one - I suspect if that gets picked we'll see some 1cc's. An evil part of me would love to see Uridium for its toughness and frustration levels!!

It's out of Raiden and DonPachi now then. I'm quite up for RFJet though on Arcade difficulty it is no walk in the park and the bullets are bloody yellow and orange.. Awesome game though in the few credits I played.

DonPachi i remember playing the Saturn version and getting to the Stage 3 boss but didn't play many more credits.

Just waiting on weakboson and Vyothric's vote's now or if one of them pick's DonPachi then it's a done deal.

You guys really keep voting for some crap games. Haven't had one good one yet. I don't care if it's pointless, I'm voting for:

Uridium
Android Assault

haha that's fair. Be good to see you submit even if it's the one game a season

[retrojc]

Nah I mess, i'm not really a person who can dedicate a lot of time to games right now, maybe the odd day here and there, but with this I know id want to try hard (haha) so had to avoid!


I have been buying many shmups as of recent, Qubed, Pack de Jeux and 'child of Eden?! Along with EspGaluda normal ed and Ketsu DS.
also playing Batsugun quite a lot of late - can 1cc that to final boss, then i always Eff up!
Xevious on on Namco museum 360 is also getting a lot of play time. Wanting to hit the cheevos and it's bloomin hard.

Ahh i payed about £11 for mine with shipping, pack de jeux was sealed and posted for £3! haha

[AmidstStorm]

Ah yeah the shipping doubled that price. Glad to finally have it on the way though. 4 more 360 shmups to have all 33 releases.

Just out of interest what would you like to see? I'm interested to hear which shmups you like?

[weakboson]

DonPachi
Android Assault

I think DoDonPachi would have been preferable but DP is still a fun game, perhaps even enough to distract me from Futari.

Don't think i'm going for all releases as Bulletsoul and eshatos look really poor in my eyes, but may pick them up one day if they come along at £20 each etc! However, if you enagte them two, i almost certainly have 30 different/variants of 360 shooters! will get a list

[gmintyfresh]

Looks like Donpachi then!

[AmidstStorm]

Ok so votes are all in. Donpachi takes the majority.
Game will officially start at 00:00 on the 1st May but i will accept submissions anytime from now.

[Misery]

No way in hell I'm doing this one.

Count me out.


I'll wait until the 6th game to see what happens, but I might well step out of the league entirely. Not getting anywhere, waaaaayyyyyyyy too many games I cant stand, and each takes much too long.


Right now I've just finally gotten Under Defeat anyway, so that's likely all I'll play, as shmups go, for the next month anyway.

[kollisionBR]

One of my TVs is already rotated for PS1 Donpachi, YAY!


I don't see any problem with Saturn Donpachi, provided one can withstand the atrocious loading times.
I've looped that one and it isn't any different from MAME (I practiced on MAME for a while). Just bear in mind the game's starting difficulty is LITTLE EASY, so that should be adjusted prior to playing.
