Acclaimed slash-and-dash RPG Hyper Light Drifter is now available for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Supposedly by the end of the year, but devs don’t sound too confident of that.

Never owned Lifeforce, only rented it, but I loved it so much. Definitely stoked my lifelong love of SHMUPS. Played it recently and was surprised how good I still was at it! They released a classics version on PS4 recently, I should probably pick that up.

I think I did too, though the TPB I first saw it on was early turtle-boom, so late 80s? Probably just a pinup they used in a lot of places. It’s a great likeness, but the red belts are a little much.

Read an embedded tweet from Rice saying they were considering a NA special edition, though that may have been shot down since it was linked into the article I was reading.

I believe it was a cover originally done for one of the very first collected TMNT TPBs. That’s where I first saw it, anyway.

Jackal is an underrated classic- The best NES co-op experience outside of Contra.

Here are a few more of my favorites:

Well, yeah sorta... I did get the physical US releases. The EU editions had more crap and the JP editions had TOYS.

No Senran LEs for us here in the US, but keeping my fingers crossed for one on Valkyrie. I always want to import the Japanese LE, but they are so $$$$$.

I started the SK series with an imported copy of Shinovi on my beloved Vita. Though I never play it, I do have an launch 3DS that is collecting dust, so when SK2 came…

SK and VD are basically Musou titles. Each stage is fairly linear and usually consists of clearing out all enemies and traversing from A to B, where you are met by a boss- or occasionally some stages are strictly 1 on 1 encounters. In SK, the boss character is usually one (or more) of the rival girls, however in VD,…

Estival was a Platinum for me, too! I didn’t know Tamsoft didn’t work on VD, they are both Takaki/Marvelous titles, I had assumed the developer was the same. It does play very similar but with some new mechanics. As they both have the same creator and publisher, I’m not bothered by the similarities at all, that’s…

Having enjoyed that success, the publisher is also bringing Valkyrie Drive, the game about girls making out to turn each other into weapons, to the States later this year.

Almost cut REmake for Silent Hill 2, but a list of my favorite games with no RE titles would be blasphemous! I’d actually go back and include RE2 instead, now that I think about it.

Top 8:

All the talk about “freedom” is a lie. The only freedom they care about is the second amendment, otherwise they are absolutely 100% for limiting other people’s rights.

Only Zelda game I’ve ever played to completion- or for more than a few minutes, actually.

The part about his report including the phrase, “did you get anything,” leads me to believe that maybe he thought they had robbed another house, but most likely thought they were drug users, decided they needed to be punished, attempted to hold a fucking car at gunpoint by standing in front of it, and then shot at…

“This running car I walked directly in front of on a public street and pointed a gun at is coming right for me! Better open fire, my life is suddenly in danger!”
