Shmup Junkie | Every Konami Shoot Em Up REVIEWED! @ShmupJunkie | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Every KONAMI SHOOT EM UP Reviewed and Ranked! Konami was possibly the greatest video games developer of the 80s and 90s. Classic gaming franchises and blockbusters like Castelvania, Contra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and more. Not just in arcades but all platforms, consoles and computers alike. And Konami loved shooters! Whether on the MSX, Nintendo's NES or SNES, PC Engine, Sega Saturn or the Sony Playstation, Konami released over 60 shoot em ups (poor Mega Drive). And in this video, you'll see nearly every one of them ranked and reviewed!
