Is this the end? NO! A Reboot? Not exactly. It's time for this channel to evolve and become something more. Are you already creating fantastic content but just can't get enough traction or views? Are you an indie developer who wants to put together authentic, deep dives on your game and mechanics, but don't have a way of showing it to the world? Now you have a channel! And the community will not only help decide on the best content and ideas to hit the channel, but also hopefully contribute in it's creation.
If you're an indie developer, content creator, or want to contribute, join the Shmup Junkies Discord at: discord.gg/umgtcxF3by
We have a dedicated channel and topics for contributing, collaborating, and much more.
Think about what else you loved about growing up during the 1980s and 90s. The movies that fueled your imagination. Famous comic arcs, iconic morning cartoons, dungeons and dragons on weekends. So much was exciting. It wasn't just about the games, the movies, the culture, or any one thing. It was an era to remember!

Natsume took Taito's original arcade shoot em up and created a SuperNES classic with the Pocky and Rocky series. Reshrined is the kind of revival of a classic that us retro gamers live for. Now on Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4.
Is the new Pocky & Rocky Reshrined a remake? A reboot? Or a sequel. What was censored for the western release? Is it worth buying? Find out in my review and why any fan of the SNES games shouldn't miss it.

Review and ranking is a matter of opinion. I took presentation, music, gameplay, longevity, and port quality all into account. This is not an overall tier list comparing them to games on later, modern consoles like Battle Garegga or Dodonpachi, but ranked within it's own library and compared to other consoles of the time like the Mega Drive, Super Nintendo and Neo Geo.
While most footage is mine, replaying over 100 games to completion is impossible in a timely manner. Some footage was recorded by others using software emulation or FPGA via MiSTer. Thank you to those that allowed me to use their gameplay. I've linked their channels here.

Learn how interesting and diverse Technosoft was, leading to some of the best shooters of the generation, along with many other seminal releases from employees that once worked there. Their deep relationship with Sega and their mastery of the Genesis / Mega Drive hardware. From their earliest games on the PC-88, MSX and Sharp X68000, to the 16 bit console wars and the 32bit years of the Saturn and PS1, along with arcade games they also developed.

I think the way shoot em up skills are often taught is backwards to say the least. Very inefficient and demoralizing, treating shmup mastery like work. However, learning to shmup can be an exciting experience and a way to expand your enjoyment of the STG genre. I wanted to both share how I approach learning a new shooting game and also see how far we could push things in one week.
I help you choose the right Shoot Em Up to start with and offer my suggestions, then guide you step by step in what to practice each day to get good fast. What and how to practice to take your shooter skills to the next level... and enjoy yourself doing it. No matter the era, whether old school 16bit PC Engine, Mega Drive and SNES retro games, to more modern bullet hell on Switch, Playstation and Xbox consoles, these tips will apply to you. Konami or Cave, Gradius or Dodonpachi or Touhou, arcade or console, you'll find useful suggestions for beginner and intermediate players alike. Shmup School is in session and you've got 7 days to graduate!

I'm going In-Depth to preview every single shooter included. M2 went back to the original Toaplan Arcade PCBs to create perfect modern ports of the original games for their Toaplan Arcade Garage series. Also included will be the home console ports of Tiger-Heli and Twin Cobra on the Mega Drive / Genesis, PC Engine, and NES / Famicom. In-Depth details and differences between every version with this ultimate comparison. Is the Toaplan Tiger Heli Shoot Em Up Collection worth the price? Is this collection of shmups for you?
Tiger-Heli is historic with many firsts for the genre. Kyukyoku Tiger aka Twin Cobra followed suit with STG firsts of it's own. Find out what these games pioneered, and what made them one of Toaplan's best selling STGs, including interviews with Toaplan developers for unique insight into how they came to be. And what made Twin Cobra one of their first truly great shoot em ups. We are lucky to have M2 making such great releases for both the retro gaming and shmup community.

That's right, possibly one of the top 10 coolest Shoot Em Ups on the Switch is a game you can't play. Or at least not yet. Why not? Find out in this video review as I interview NGDEV Team, the developer of rare Neo Geo games, to find out why Razion EX is so hard to get. Will there be more physical releases of Razion? Why is there no digital release on the Nintendo Switch eShop? Is there a chance it will go digital?
To answer those questions, we have to go back to their most popular and well know game from the past - Gunlord. First released on the Neo Geo, then Sega Dreamcast, Gunlord was their most popular and well reviewed game to date. Classic Gameroom gave it a glowing review and garnered almost 100K views. And when an upgraded Gunlord X finally released on Switch, it sold out as well. But when NGDEV Team decided to also release GunlordX on the eShop, so everyone who missed out could get one, things did not go according to plan. Nor did they go well for Fast Striker, also released on PS4 and Switch. Find out how this effected Razion EX and what we can do as a gaming and Shmup community to turn it around. So Razion EX goes from being the Switch shoot em up you've never played, to the Switch Shmup that everyone can now play!

Japan, as well as digital download. Cotton Fantastic Night Dreams was originally developed by SUCCESS, and the new Reboot published by BEEP, with programming by Studio Siesta of Trouble Witches. It's a #ShootemUp based on the Sharp 68000 computer port, considered by many the definitive version of Cotton Fantastic Night Dreams. In this in-depth review which includes lag tests, side by side comparisons, and analysis of the Reboot, see what makes Cotton such a beloved #shmup, and how the new Arrange mode stacks up. A perfect video to help you decide if Cotton Reboot for the Nintendo Switch or Sony Playstation 4 is worth the price for you.

and the Sega Saturn got all the play, but the Playstation actually had a very large Shooter library of it's own, and no I don't mean Call
of Duty. In fact, the Sony PSX had about as many #ShootEmUps as the Saturn, most just don't know it. From exclusive shmups like G Darius,
Einhander, Zanac X Zanac, Gradius Gaiden and R-Type Delta, to ports like In the Hunt and Dodonpachi that exceeded their Saturn counterpart,
anyone that didn't take the PS1 seriously as a Shmup machine missed out on some great games and collections. So whether you feel the Sony
Playstation measured up or not to the mighty Saturn, there's no denying it was still a must own console as well for Shoot Em Up lovers.
From Taito to IREM, the Playstation had it's share of brutally difficult shmups, and in this video, I explore my Top 5 HARDEST Shoot Em Ups
on the system.
