I get the reference, but they could have used a typical SJ 'Mech and not a Timberwolf...

There's a new Tatsujin game coming! PS5 only?

This title bearing our company’s name inherits the DNA of Tatsujin, a brilliant masterpiece in the history of vertical scrolling shooters, which was developed by our CEO, Masahiro Yuge, at the former Toaplan in 1988.

I’m cautiously excited for the new Tatsujin game but they need to turn the brightness up a bit.

[Colin]

I don’t like the look of that one bit.

[CMcK]

I think we just have to accept that pixel art isn’t going to be a thing in modern shooters and try to live with the shiny CG stuff.

[dataDave]

My eyes just can't get around a vertical shmup in a 16:9 format. Obviously the game will be designed accordingly, but it just hurts my head looking at it.

[Colin]

Yes, that’s my main gripe with it. Well, that and it looks a wee bit too bullet he’ll for my tastes!

[importaku]

They are going to need to advertise the hell out of it as if it's ps5 only it's gonna sell like crap. Seeing as theres hardly anyone with a ps5 in japan the region thats usually the key demographic for shmups. Should have gone with ps4 minimum.

Success is bringing Izuna back, on Switch and PC sometimes in 2024.
For those not knowing (I'd assume 90% of the internet doesn't), Izuna was a series of two dungeon crawlers on the DS, Izuna The Legend Of The Unemployed Ninja; Izuna also cameod in a fighter game on the same console, but I forget its name.

Revolting isn’t it?

It’s one thing to buy a company, suck it dry like a leach for its IP then close it. But to be so **** as a business to not have the cash to operate after buying up (Checks notes) every Developer going, you must be a special kind of Entrepreneur. A really special kind.

I hope the Directors of Embracer. No, I’m going to stop.
