AltruismIsDead Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) I am trying to make a list of all Japanese shmup games, both region coded, region-less, and stackable/released overseas. Maybe if people find this thread interesting enough I'll expand it to all shmup games and XBLA titles. Also if anyone knows of any games I am missing, or are coming out please let me know. Currently this is a work in progress. NSTC-J = Japanese Region Coded Region Free = Import only, but region free.

AltruismIsDead Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Reserved for future posts. XBLA shump titles? If anyone wanted to add any titles to the list, or if there are any region free Asian versions of any titles let me know. Or if anyone wants game links to play-asia etc...

spyder2g Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I wouldn't classify Gal Gun as a shmup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltruismIsDead Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 I wouldn't classify Gal Gun as a shmup. I was personally wondering about that since I haven't played it. From what it sounds like it is a really strange/perverted on-rails shooter. Just thought I'd list it for people that might be curious about it or interested in it when they stumble across it.

katesith Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yea.. I gotta agree with Gal Gun not being a Shump. Otherwise... I gotta say lets sticky this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAI JASON Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yea.. I gotta agree with Gal Gun not being a Shump. Otherwise... I gotta say lets sticky this thread Yeah Gal Gun is a railshooter (got it) and Akai Katana Shin is region locked. Thats confirmed from Cave. I lost my mind, but isn´t there a second Otomodius?

I'll move Gal Gun towards the bottom and put it under misc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll move Gal Gun towards the bottom and put it under misc. Thats it! Otomodius Excellent. I read somewhere a third Otomodius will come, but it´s better we wait for more infos... ...and i think you should put booth senko no ronde to misc. There more like a 3D fighting/flying mix and not a shmup with stages like the others. Check out http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=24786 for all infos or a list for Arcade games.

Thanks for your great thread! Sounds good, thanks for all the input, I'll get to work on an XBLA list shortly as well. Also if you can find any info on Otomedius Excellent let me know, I'll be checking out more of play-asias stuff, but I am sure X360A will have that info up as well.

I only know that Otomodius Exellent come to the US. The jp. Version was delayed to the fall of 2011, so maybe the US version goes the same way. For XBLA Radiant Silvergun comes up. You can put this in your list for Arcade games. The date is TBA but in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kairi Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I think this is a good list and it looks great! Good job! ^.^ But isn't Espaluga II region free and the LE edition is the one that is not region free? I remember seeing something like that on playasia n.n; Also, Deathsmiles 2 was released in the United States- but as a Games on Demand only title.

GR4V1G0R3 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 just thought i'd point out that ESPGaluda II is region free (either that, or my xbox has gone mental and started playing JAP games) i still need to buy :- bullet soul, eschatos & muchi muchi pork & pink sweets (along with almost all from XBLA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akuza Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 It's a shame you couldn't pop a tag next to the region free ones ( or all of them) as to what's the best deal for them too Espgaluda II and DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu are now REGION FREE Retail btw. also Bullet Soul is downloadable on the japanese marketplace and is also region free both on the marketplace and Retail What so I can go on the Japanese marketplace and purchase bullet soul and it'll let me? I tried with other games that are listed region free and it says "unavailable in your area" so I'd love to know how! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Car Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Uh... Touhou? Or is this only for XBLA games? Touhou is the first thing that comes to mind with this. It's for PC though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Car Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Mainly for retail games and xbla games Unless Touhou is a games for windows game? It's a Windows game. Downloaded through the internet. As far as I know, it's an extremely popular game. That Mcroll'd thing is also a remix of one of the themes from Touhou. (And most of the other versions of it are remixes of other touhou songs.)
