Zaleste X Subway Chips The shmupmedia-verse is abuzz with the fact that Compile are working together with M2 to bring us Zaleste (so that's a fusion of Zanac and Aleste properties). We've been treated to some nice art and a...

Zaleste X Subway Chips

The fusion of shump brands brings a flavour to mind that tastes of Japanese business meetings and different mentalities in the use of media properties.

Sai Dai Err What?… DoDonPachi Sai Dai Ou Jou is out on Switch and it’s great, but I seem to get bugs regardless of where I play it (and I’m not just talking about bees).Playing through level 5 of the 360 Arrange one of the enemies was refercing the wrong part of the sprite sheet so ended up being attacked by a fluxing Missingno cloud.

Sai Dai Err What?…
Bugs and exposing the beauty behind the curtain.

Viper: Phase 1 - Archive Accessed Viper: Phase 1 is a great credit feeder. Sure, you might want to learn it and score it, but it’s also just an amazing voyage set in a world of hard-science space design, with booster rockets and NASA-like paneled metal (also makes me think of hardSF anime like Planetes and Magnetic Rose. In a genre with a lot of ‘flanges for fun over function’ this aesthetic stands out. There is also some great foreshadowing and in general spatial storytelling. Just jam in a stack of coins and see how many great

Viper Phase 1 is a great credit feeder to journey through a detailed hard SF world.
