Batsugun - Saturn Tribute Boosted - Swtich / PS4 / Xbox / Steam

[@GojiGuy]

Just wanted to say thanks for keeping up with this series! Its always a treat when a new Shoot Em Up Saturday pops into my feed. :)

[@fitaurus1]

448 episodes and going strong ^_^

[@Mingodough]

They should update all their Saturn tribute games so the zebra engine can improve their previous releases

[@Mingodough]

Nah bro Type B is amazing, so satisfying!

[@jan-niklashoffmann4683]

Type B is best!

[@fitaurus1]

Don't get me wrong. Type B is awesome, but it's almost too much visually at level 3

[@bildo1977]

Can’t even buy this on PS4. It’s listed, but can’t add to cart.

[@techknow9237]

Just got this on XB. I was so looking forward to this game but was disappointed when I got it! Even on its hardest setting it's fairly easy and the whole game can be finished in 10mins.

[@psychoticgiraffe]

not true, unless you mean you did a non-complete run without doing more than one loop, need to beat the game without using a continue, then beat the next loop

[@functionatthejunction]

@@psychoticgiraffe "need to beat the game without using a continue, then beat the next loop" That's the true ending condition?! What a ball buster!

[@psychoticgiraffe]

@@functionatthejunctionyep, anyone who thought it was easy didn’t notice they died 60 times and didn’t reach 2nd loop, it actually can do 6 loops I think

[@andrewbutler9533]

Glad its a solid port, will buy it now i think. Still might wait a few days to see what Mark MSX says about input lag first tho.

[@GojiGuy]

It's around 5-6 frames afaik. Tolerable for me, but I'm gonna wait for M2 to port the arcade version.

[@futureskeletons66669]

@@GojiGuy 6 on Switch. 7 if you use a USB arcade stick. It's 5 on PS.

[@chrisr024]

How's the input delay ?

[@futureskeletons66669]

I was pretty apprehensive about buying it because of previous Zebra Engine issues (I didn't buy any of the old Cotton games, but I did get Guardian Force) and have no way of testing, but it feels 1:1 with MAME. I was playing Batsugun all day yesterday. I'm very happy with it and have no problem recommending it.

[@morsalty]

5.5 frames average on PC, so probably a frame or 2 more on console. An M2 port should drop in the future if you would rather wait.

[@futureskeletons66669]

@@morsalty There's no way this has 6.5/7.5 frames of lag.

[@Mopefully]

Very cool 😎

[@GameBoyGuru]

How's the input delay feel? I'm wondering if their emulation has improved in that regard, or if it still has several frames.

[@fitaurus1]

Unlike the Cotton titles I didn't notice any unusual delay. It played very smooth.

[@futureskeletons66669]

@@fitaurus1 Agreed. Seems perfectly fine to me. If it didn't, I'd be the first to complain.

[@gooberstankable]

Love Shmups but $30 for a game of this age is nuts imo

[@andrewbutler9533]

Cheap compared to Shottriggers

[@gooberstankable]

@Andrew Butler shot triggers ports often have extras, and zero latency. City connection has both of those issues

[@andrewbutler9533]

@@gooberstankable of course, I have many of M2s releases, just saying that 25 USD plus tax and shipping aint too bad for a Saturn game that costs way more AND you don't need any Japanese Saturn to play it.

[@gooberstankable]

@Andrew Butler fair enough, it just doesn't hit that sweet spot for me. $10-15 is it for me for a game with this presentation. I'll do $40 for a Cave physical, and have them all nearly but for $30 I'll just play Batsugun on Mame

[@inrptn]

$30 is absolutely insane. Should be a Toaplan collection for that price.

[@baalsaak]

30 bucks for this? Give me a break... I have the exact same game for free in a Saturn emulator...
