    It's rather aged and limited in general, though. A modern one would be nice.

    At the very least they should translate and release the second TCG game.

    I don't understand at all why they don't do a version of the online PC game for the Wii U or 3DS. It would be an enormous money maker. It encourages buying of the paper cards, it could be amazing for Wii U console sales, you could integrate NFC stuff in some way if you wanted, it just seems like a win/win.

    Seems like an obvious Free to Play option, as well.

    Definitely worth it. Even if you don't have time to play it right away, buy it now and save it for later.

    Gaiabreaker is a SHMUP, apparently.

    I have never heard of it until now. By the reviews I'm seeing it is not worth the price their demanding, and would be an iffy purchase at one-quarter of that.

    Well they already missed the boat on releasing Nintendo World Cup...

    Playing Guacamelee STCE has also reminded me that Pro Wrestling has never been ported, which strikes me as odd as hell.

      This just makes me fear even more that they're shutting down the program. Physical rewards are starting to become extremely scarce, it simply isn't what it used to be.

      Is that how the game normally plays, or is that on Wuss/Grandma difficulty mode?

      And yeah. That looks pretty bad compared to the collection of SHUMPS one can buy on Steam, 360, or PS3. Or even the couple good SHUMPS that were previously released on the Wii.

      Man I wish Shmups was still a thriving genre. I love games like Raiden fighters and Strikers. It's such a hard genre to keep up on. All the releases or remakes/compilations sneak under the radar if you aren't paying really close attention.

      I'm European! I want to know these things!

      And yeah, we have been a bit sparse on good shmups lately. Astebreed in Steam is... acceptable, but honestly can't hold a candle to some of the old ones.

      ...and now I want to replay Kamui. Or Hellsinker. Man I love Hellsinker.

      There's some really awesome Japanese classic and current Indy SHUMPs have have been popping up on Steam. Ikaruga is on there. Also, take a look at the recently released Astebreed, that shit be amazing yo.

      Oh, and the 360 got pretty much every CAVE release and plenty of other ones. Some of them are even available on the digital store in America, though many have to be imported.

      I'm not entirely sure why Steamworld Dig gets so much acclaim. To me, the game felt like a bunch of good ideas implemented in a slightly mediocre manner, never really managing to be interesting or challenging.
