Retro Reboot SHMUPtember 2025 | Ikaruga (Nintendo GameCube) | Game Fix Show Is it still the best of the best...?

🕹️RETRO REBOOT🕹️
#SHMUPtember is coming to a close, may as well go out big. I review Ikaruga for the Nintendo GameCube.

Developed by Treasure, it was once heralded as the best space shooter ever. Did it deserve that mantle? Read more at Game Fix Show

And that's a wrap!
#SHMUPtember is over (for me) with 21 games played and 17 of those finished*

#SHMUPtember Day 10 - the FINALE has arrived!
It's been a quite eventful month with many new and old games played (and most of them finished)
Starting today with Arrow Flash for the Genesis and then possibly the last wheel spin of this year we go for a final round of shmuppin!

This month had it all for me. Anime openings, fast paced action, stupid jokes, amazing jokes, crab battles, gambling, and plenty of parallax scrolling!

This is my #SHMUPtember Player's Guide round-up!

Wild Guns Reloaded "All Clear" screen featuring Annie standing victorious in front of the burning enemy base

YES!!! It's finally done! That was one of the hardest games I've ever finished. GG Wild Guns Reloaded! #Shmuptember

#SHMUPtember Day 9, the month is nearly over, but the games keep on coming!
Today I'm checking out Alien Soldier for the Genesis as the starter course, something of a run and gun boss rush from what I've seen?
Only one way to find out for sure, so let's get shootin!

If you want more #SHMUPtember from me, I did play @battlegeekplus.com's Popcorn Rocket earlier this year. Very silly and fun vertical shmup. Will probably make you hungry if you stare at it for too long.

Phelios is great, but brutally tough! I managed to reach level 6 of 7 tonight, but couldn't make it quite to the end. A big thanks to everyone who joined us, Sakanakao for the sub, and to @thedeviot.bsky.social & PipiMao11 for the raids! #Shmuptember

We're taking to the skies in an arcade and Mega Drive classic! Game 10 of #Shmuptember 2025 is Phelios! #RetroGaming #stream

Anyway.....this is the last full week of #SHMUPtember. Next week, we will enter our third biggest event of the year, HORROR GAMES!

Got any horror games or games with spooky aesthetics lined up for next month? Share your plans for #HorrorGameOct!

Omg I cannot wait to make the round-up video of my #SHMUPtember Player's Guide streams. Lots of "I WANT TO PLAY THIS AGAIN" games for me this month.

I'm far from the best at shmups, but they are so damn fun to play...

Wild Guns stage select screen. 3 of 4 levels are cleared

Tonight, we managed to clear most, but not all, of the stages in Wild Guns Reloaded! This game is a blast! Thanks to @thedeviot.bsky.social and @orangeright.bsky.social for the raids and to @pawsrpg.bsky.social for the inside scoop on the game's development! #Shmuptember

Retro Reboot SHMUPtember 2025 | R-Type Final (PlayStation 2) | Game Fix Show The initial swan song for the series went out with a bang...before returning

🚨RETRO REBOOT🚨

#SHMUPtember is almost done. For week 4, I review R-Type Final. Released for the PlayStation 2, it was supposed to be the last game in the series, and it would have been a hell of a game to go out on.

While I think I still don't have a shot at actually beating this game, this has been my best attempt yet. #Shmuptember #Touhou

Tues evening: Wild Guns Reloaded, Thurs evening: Phelios

It's the last full week of #Shmuptember and we're going all-in with guns (and swords) blazing!

#SHMUPtember goes into Day 8, only a little more than a week left!
Today I'm continuing ZeroRanger, trying to see how far I can go, but probably will switch mid stream and possibly continue it later in the year so I can pack September with more games!

Oh it's #SHMUPtember?! I have a game to promote!

In Spacewing War, make your way to Planet Mavros in order to stop an invasion to Planet Earth. Inspired by Game Boy classics, this pocket-sized adventure has captivated millions (not really)!

Tonight, we finished AstroDogs, Dragon Spirit, and most importantly, fought a giant enemy crab! Thanks for joining us! #Shmuptember

AstroDogs screenshot. It's a rail similar that looks *legally dissimilar* to StarFox.

Can canines be trusted with heavily armed combat aircraft? Let's find out in AstroDogs!

#SHMUPtember day 7!
Today I'm starting off with a bit of Galaga and since I couldn't decide on what platform, I'm using a free browser version to spite everyone :)
Be sure to add slices to the wheel for games you want to see me play since there's only 2 weeks left!

About a week left to pick up a half-dozen or more #Shmuptember titles!

Street Cleaning Day and Antecrypt have been my biggest winners so far, but fingers crossed for a Voidblazers compatibility update!

Retro Reboot SHMUPtember 2025 | The Guardian Legend (NES) | Game Fix Show An amazing hybrid game from Compile

For my third game in #SHMUPtember, it's one of my favorite NES titles. The Guardian Legend blends dungeon crawling with a vertical space shooter, making it quite a progressive venture for the era

#SHMUPtember day 6 is upon us and today we're moving to an unexpected console, the GBA with Gunstar Super/Future Heroes!
I enjoyed the original Gunstar Heroes when playing it on the Genesis/Mega Drive last Shmuptember, so let's see if this sequel is going to be good as well!

#SHMUPtember goes into Day nr.5 and we're continuing Valfaris: Mecha Therion!
This game has been a blast so far, great music and some neat additions to the shmup formula, rarely do I see an auto scrolling shmup with secret areas for example.
Let's see if we can beat it today!
