Saturn 2D Shooters

[anephric]

I've seen it - it's a swollen blue tri-point of hilarity!

Chortle, guffaw, etc...

Anyone here recommend Blast Wind?

[Yakumo]

oh, yeah, Blast Wind is by Technosoft so how can someone NOT recommend it It's not the best V-Shooter out there and does look a little dated but its still a great blast with the added bonus of multiple routes throughout the stages.

It's bloody expensive, too!

Tell me about it That's why I don't own a copy. It normally goes for well over 10'000 yen.

TBH, a game has got to be seriously good to make me spend that much cash on it. I've heard mostly good things about Blast Wind but I've heard other people say it's very average.

Sengoku Blade is another title I'm not sure on - I've heard it's very much like Gunbird and Strikers 1945, which I thought were nice but limited.

Sengoku Blaede>Gunbird or Strikers

[Mad Gear]

I love Strikers!!!

Number 2 is especially good. I've always been a sucker for 1942 type shenanigans though.

How is Strikers II on the PS1?

I got the Saturn version of Strikers I a couple of weeks ago and really liked it, so couldn't resist a PAL copy of the sequel for a quid today.

[Duddyroar]

The PSX conversions aren't as good in my opinion, but gameplay wise it's all there.

[SharkSkin-Man]

PS version is the best home port, SS version slows down more.

PAL one is probably gash though.

[randombs]

PS version is the best home port, SS version slows down more. I smell of fish

yeah but saturn's teh roxxor$ so it's better, EVEN if it does slow down more than the gaystation one

[Duddyroar]

Just bought a copy of Thunderforce V from Mobius off these very forums. Opinions?

[Big Seany]

I don't really know Mobius - but I am sure he is a nice lad.
