I forgot to mention: the game is on Steam but it doesn't work very well. store.steampowered.com/app/407600/Raiden_Legacy__Steam_Edition/ A nice MAME setup will be way better and opens you up to playing all sorts of other great games.

Immediately clicked as soon as I got the notification because this has become my new favorite channel for video essays. The quality of the narration, research and editing is always top notch and the scripts you come up with consistently illuminate your subject matter from new and insightful angles. I also find myself agreeing with your aesthetic sensibilities a lot, which is nice too. So all around great job with the stuff on this channel, looking forward to finishing this new video!

I went to a bar last night, in New Orleans, and (having watched the first third of this video earlier in the day), spent about 15 or 16 minutes in the corner playing Galaga on an arcade machine instead of sitting at the bar having conversation. Those minutes reminded me how much I love arcade video games. Thanks!

If you're interested in more indie shmups Hydorah, Mecha Ritz, and Dezatopia are defo worth a try! As for old shmups the R-Type and Darius are both a must and Einhander is straight up my favorite shmup, it's a masterpiece that's just been straight up forgotten by Square.

I will never forget when i was like 4 yo, i couldn't reach the stick so my father got me in his arms and so i was just watching... i know it was Jet cuz i clearly remember those big and cool looking footsprints in the sand stage, it gave me an intriguing feeling, like i know something was about to happen... THEN THIS MASSIVE and gorgeous looking tank appeared and my mind just blow up, my face was no reaction, but inside my brain was just exploding, freakin face glued to the crt, epic raiden experience... so as time passed i kept going to that place and they have F2 and Jet, always credit feed jet a bit more, idk why but both have a big place in my heart so that's why i decided to 1cc'd F2 just the other day, and as the pressure wasn't enough i rediscovered and felt in love with a ship that has no replay on yt, so i had to find a route myself cause every ship changes things a lot in those games, really crazy 2 weeks to get back into the genere, i would never imagine i could 1cc'd any game and even less any of the Fighters series, my heart was pumping like crazy the last 3 stages but.. who cares about me hah However... sorry for the wacky english and many thanks for the quality of the video, up to the peak pixel art these games has, seriously was a joy to watch

I've been thinking about positive vs negative motivation (similar to criticism motivated by love/hate) and how it affects the things we make I think if you try to make things with negative motivation you tend towards iterative improvements on existing things (trying to eliminate their bad qualities), while positive motivation tends towards trying to create something new You can see why positive motivations can work better when making art, but I'm not willing to blanket dismiss negative motivation as bad, some of the best games come from taking a great game that already exists and trying to iteratively improve on it And, thanks for that optimistic bit at the end, I think I really needed that

Yeah I think negativity is very useful, if you want to improve you have to be critical of your work, and knowing what you hate about other works in your field is very useful for crafting something different. 'Hate' and 'negativity' are slippery words, but imo indifference is the actual opposite of love, hate still requires some underlying care for the hated thing.

@@JimmyMcG33 That's unfortunate lmao. I still think you should probably play and try and beat it though, as that playthrough doesn't go over all the interesting things in white vanilla, and zeroranger's post game has a lot of interesting stuff as well as achievements to get you to learn to score run which are done really well. I will also say that void stranger kind of expects you to know a lot of story bits and other stuff from zeroranger, and i found having gone into it having been deep into zeroranger before to make playing it that much more joyous and suprising. have fun with void stranger!

Also I didn't expect the end of a video on shmups to be so inspirational, but I'm glad it is. Great video!

During the scrolling of all those youtube clickbait videos I thought is was the same 20 or so looping round. Then it kept going. I started to think you had used some video thumbnail generator to churn them out like memes. But no it's people creating actual videos of mind poison. You are right in that people do like to keep to the same few kinds of games they enjoy. I certainly replay rts ones over and over again just because they are comfortably familiar and sometimes taking time to checkout all the other possible genres out there. Great vid as always!

I've been playing vampire survivors lately and I think it has some elements of sh'mups; mainly the threading through enemies, moving for setup of the autofire weapons. I wouldn't call it a sh'mup however, because you're generally scaling the increase of enemies with your powerups and at the end of a run you're probably unkillable barring the reaper, and sometimes it needs to spawn more than one. Also I appreciated the ending :)

Damn dude, I love your videos. I may not always agree with your opinions on some things, but that's genuinely cool, you have a very unique voice and viewpoint on what you want from games and what personally affects you, and I love hearing you talk about it and what these games do for you. It makes me appreciate a lot of games more than I may have initially. Your talk about other reviewers at the end, the difference between critiquing from a place of love, and critiquing from a place of hate, and how so many people trap themselves into that immature worry of ever being genuine and opening up about the things you care about is something I also strongly agree with, I hope you keep making awesome videos dude, I really loved this one.

Great to see you do a piece on shmups. I've long bemoaned how underrated of a genre it is, and nowadays pretty much no one talks about them, despite them being so interesting. I must take this opportunity to peddle my Hellsinker propaganda. If you've never played it, I urge you to give it a shot. I've had a decade+ obsession with it, and I wish more people would experience it. It's now on steam and with new tutorials, making it easier to get into. ps: If you enjoyed the grazing mechanics in Graze Counter and haven't tried Touhou 16 specifically, give it a shot. The unique mechanic there is specifically about that, and one of my favs in the whole series.

Awesome video as always, never a bad suggestion to get a bit outside your comfort zone. Interesting to think about that nebulous and hard to encapsulate form genres take that you were talking about in relation to the last part of your video. Palworld has that artificial kind of outrage around it online, it was made to be that low hanging fruit of provocation. And while the tiny predictable loop of discourse keeps going about how daring it was, it's ironically just more Fortnite, Pokemon and survival crafting. It could have been really special if it was informed by a love of the games it was responding to, but instead of fulfilling the potential we all know is there, it seems more like a angsty teenage spit back at anyone who had faith/hope for Pokemon. Here's hoping that the eternal plight of loving our games stays strong

i love shmups so much. this video really made me realize how much fun a scoring system can be when it isnt an afterthought. typically i have to play just to survive as im not very good still, but it just means that theres still a lot to learn. if theres any shmup i could recommend its einhander. its one of my favorites, mainly for its presentation and pacing. the way levels seamlessly transition in that game really stuck with me, and the soundtrack is impeccable. boss design is relatively creative too especially in the first half. i feel like its one of the few horizontal shmups at the time that really took advantage of what you could do in 3d - though i could be totally wrong and would love to see more games like it if there are.

Bit of a personal anecdote here, but years and years ago I fell in love with _R-Type Final 2_ for the PS2. I was never super great at it, but it's melancholy really spoke to me. These games can be truly beautiful. Unfortunately this platform is without a good retrospective on the game, so if I do find the time to learn something new, and be the change I want to see Games are cool, and this video is cool too

another game with a similar aesthetic is air gallet, which has some great moments that hit just right because of how grounded the art style is. the first stage ends with you chasing a discovery space shuttle taking off as you shoot off its huge launch engines. the second stage, a city stage, culminates in a boss fight over the tokyo tower, which has a parallax effect that really sells how huge the tower is and how close you are to it, even from an overhead perspective. very beautiful stuff. the sound is great too, lots of radio chatter in english that helps ground it further. as a game its probably less considered in its mechanics, since you can milk bosses very hard and the medals are simpler. I'm no expert tho, so who knows. it was also designed by a toaplan veteran. definitively worth checking out for anyone who found the description of raiden fighters 2 in this video compelling

What hooks me to the shoot 'em up genre is the raw zen feeling it gives you from blowing up enemies and dodging bullets.

Really enjoyed the more optimistic take towards the end. I really can't think of much good art that was born out of spite or malice, even some of the most popular parody media is made out of understanding and love for the source material. For every KZbin video saying "x MUST be stopped" I think a way better point is "How x could be better". If a negative review is about how a piece of media fails to deliver in an original aspect of itself, it shouldn't mean that idea is poison, just possibly premature. I was never a fan of shmups, but I'd be lying if I said the moment the train level began to pick up I didn't feel a rush of excitement. Also: Did you ever get around to trying Baba Is You?

I did and I liked it, it's a very good premise for a puzzle game and they get a lot out of it. It is the kind of game where I need to put it down when I get stuck, so I haven't gotten very far. My backlog just gets longer and longer but some day I'll be struck with the urge to finish it. If you're the person I'm thinking of who recommended Baba, you might like Void Stranger, it's a sokoban game from the people who made ZeroRanger. I haven't played a ton of it yet but I've heard great (and mysterious) things.

Yeah, I only take negative videos seriously if a channel also makes loving criticisms. But there are those channels that are 100% negative all of the time, and I learned to notice them myself. No fun allowed. That's why I am eternally baffled when I make a mistake of reading anime reviews by people on sites like my anime list. It's as if they watched something totally different and missed the point completely, and are talking about some imaginary anime that's way better or worse than it actually is.

Kinda new to shmups myself. Just managed to get my first ever 1CC with M2 Ketsui's Deathtiny mode. It just happened one morning during a casual session. Shmups (and arcade games in general) are really something else in this modern world of boring, hold-your-hand gameplay. I'm looking forward to improving and getting more 1CCs. Keep up the good content ! Edit : My personnal recommendation for shmups would be Darius Gaiden. Mesmerizing atmosphere !

That game and void stranger's later portions are, paraphrasing here, some of most insane things I have ever seen done in games (based on statements I have read). Both games (from my experience looking in) have inflicted people with a religious fervour no other games have (to them). I hope you find time to muse on beating zeroranger, even if the thoughts you had and explained were also ones that i have seen others claim they've also had, great video as always!

Thank you for this. I loved shumps games on my SNES. Gradius, Super Nova, Bio Metal... I've been really missing them and I appreciate this list of games I can go try.

I really wish that KZbin would recommend quality videos from new channels about good things again. It doesn't anymore so they can make hate click money. You're probably the greatest youtuber I can name on the platform, other than cloud cuckoo country, shammy and hbomberguy

If you like video games and puns you should check out TehSnakerer, his scripts are immaculate and you need to rewatch videos a couple times to catch every joke.

42:00 you should've mentioned Star Of Providence! It's a shooter that's probably also the best roguelike ever made (or at least, my favourite); it does an amazing job of mixing the two genres in a way that I can't really put to words. It gets compared to zero ranger a lot, but I've not played that to see how close the comparison is.

On speed Thunder Force III and IV let you change speeds freely. There may have been others before Donpachi but I'm not hugely versed in the genre and those 2 just happen to be games I played. Great video.

Loved your vid ! As always. Plus I was incredibly happy to see a KZbinr I love talk about one of my favorite genres 🎉 I’m guessing you did seeing as you mentioned its sequel, but did you try out the original Mushihimesama ? Its stage 3 is my fav « giant enemy » type level ! If you can try it out on a home console port, my rec is to play on casual mode (from the main menu), and then choose the hardest difficulty option (from the in game arcade menu) : you’ll get impressive bullet patterns that move slowly enough to be dodgeable :) And seing as you didn’t mention the game, you should also try out Ketsui’s stage 3 (my fav incarnation of the « fleet of giant enemies » level type, similar to the DDP stage 3 you mentioned in Your vid)
