History of the Amazing PC ENGINE! [Book I] Shmup Junkie 2021-04-25 | Find out how Hudson and NEC's mighty little console took Japan by storm in the History of the Amazing PC Engine! [Book I] and became a best seller, crushing Sega's Mega Drive and rivaling Nintendo for market dominance. Was the PC Engine 8 bit? 16 bit? Both? Why did Japan go crazy for the smallest console ever produced? Was it the first ever CD system? Was it the largest library of Shoot Em Ups in gaming history? Was it the large library of RPGs and visual novels that catered to the otaku? Was it the famous games like Castlevania Rondo of Blood and Far East of Eden? Was it their massive third party support from giants Konami, Capcom, Taito, Compile, IREM, Naxat Soft and more? Take a journey back to late 80s and early 90s Japan in Part I of the series, chronicling the rise and history of the amazing PC Engine!#pcengine #shootemups #turbografx16✅ Subscribe To My Channel ➡️Support me on PATREONpatreon.com/shmupjunkieslushfundFollow me on Instagram: instagram.com/turbothunder16Follow me on Facebook: facebook.com/shmupjunkieFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/shmupjunkieSome popular games in this video:Ys Book I and IICastlevania: Rondo of Blood Ginga Fukei Densetsu SapphireSuper Star Soldier, Final Soldier, Soldier BladeGunhed aka Blazing LazersLegend of XanaduYs Book IVFatal Fury SpecialArt of FightingStreet Fighter 2Gradius I & IIR-TypeGate and Lords of ThunderSuper Darius seriesTatsujinLegendary AxeBonk's RevengeAir ZonkNinja Spirit

Gaming in the 80s and 90s Shmup Junkie 2024-01-07 | What made Gaming during the 80s and 90s so magical? Why we still can't stop playing our favorites from Nintendo, Sega, Capcom and Konami. Getting nostalgic over old game cartridges, print magazines and classic arcades. Yes, the video games were incredible, with the birth of nearly every popular franchise like Contra, Castlevania, Zelda, Mario, Mega Man, Sonic and many more. We watched gaming evolve into 3D with Sony's Playstation and the Sega Saturn. And we continue to play retro games today in the style of our old favorites... the very best games reimagined. But the games are only part of the story. 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!#videogames #retrogaming #90s Massive Shout Out to ZAK VORTEX and his incredible music featured in this video. ► Check out his Youtube Channel: youtube.com/@ZakVortex► Check out his Bandcamp Music Page: zakvortex.bandcamp.comCHAPTERS:00:00 - The Golden Age of Gaming01:13 - Bits of Nostalgia02:11 - What Kid Were You?03:29 - Legends are Born06:59 - The Next Level10:23 - Arcade Dreams14:01 - Chips n' Jamz16:16 - Gaming Junkies19:23 - The Next Generation20:40 - An Era Reborn22:10 - Time Extension► Join my Patreon! - https://www.patreon.com/shmupjunkiesl...► Cool Shirts and Merch - https://my-store-b8bab2.creator-sprin...► Twitter - twitter.com/ShmupJunkie► Instagram - instagram.com/shmupjunkie► Facebook - facebook.com/shmupjunkie► Website - shmupjunkie.comAuthentic childhood photos Special Thanks:Arron Etchels, Aktane's Arcade, Rafael Borven, Scowsh and BlaincoltCredits:Galloping Ghost Timelapse and First Funky Fighter Footage courtesy of GOJIGUY!

Hard NES Games (We Cant Stop Playing) Shmup Junkie 2023-01-15 | What is it about HARD NES Games that keep us coming back? Nintendo became a household name with series like Contra, Castlevania, Mega Man, Ghosts N Goblins, Zelda, Ninja Gaiden, Metroid and more. Many of these games were HARD. Nintendo Hard. As kids, we cut our teeth on brutal games and living to tell the tale was a badge of honor. And we just can't stop playing them! This video is my journey, through not only the hardest, but also my nostalgic favorite retro gaming experiences on the NES. Games that were so good, that despite the struggle, I came back for more.

Every Konami Shoot Em Up REVIEWED! Shmup Junkie 2022-11-06 | Every KONAMI SHOOT EM UP Reviewed and Ranked! Konami was possibly the greatest video games developer of the 80s and 90s.

The Switch Shoot Em Up Youve Never Played - Razion EX Review Shmup Junkie 2021-08-01 | RAZION EX by NGDEV Team is the Switch Shoot Em Up You've Never Played... or at least probably never played. First released on the Neo Geo, Razion Ex has finally arrived on the Nintendo Switch! There's only one problem. You can't play it! Because it's completely sold out. ✅ Subscribe To My Channel ➡️Support me on PATREONpatreon.com/shmupjunkieslushfundThat'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.

TOP 5 HARDEST Shoot Em Ups on the Playstation Shmup Junkie 2021-02-07 | PSX SHMUPS Finally get their due! It's the Top 5 HARDEST Shoot Em Ups on the Playstation. The Sony PS1 got no respect when it came to #Shmupsand 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 Callof 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 SonyPlaystation 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 Upson the system.
