SNK's handsome shooter Blazing Star out for iOS, Android
Do you want a pretty nice looking shooter for your mobile device? SNK Playmore has you covered with the release of a Neo-Geo favorite, Blazing Star. The iOS and Android versions feature a retro perfect Arcade Mode for those that want a straight port, but there's also a new mission mode that lets you pick your stage. There's also Bluetooth multiplayer support, letting you and a friend try to complete the game together. Network ranking functions let you compare scores with players all over the world. Blazing Star is out now for both iOS and Android platforms, priced at $2.99.

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Blazing Star and Pulstar would be handsome shooters if not for the fact that they depend on manual rapid fire for the entire game, which is asking far too much of most players who value their joints. I'm always amazed that people want to play these games that were clearly designed with physical controls in mind and work really horribly with touchscreens. I love touchscreen gaming for Infinity Blade, Fruit Ninja, and other games that were built from the ground up. But a SHMUP with touchscreen controls is a recipe for frustration and no fun. Why not just release this on STEAM? SNK should put their entire library on PC. SHMUPS without a controller is rather pointless. 10:00 PM on 05.16.2013 Original Sonic the Hedgehog out now for AndroidAs promised, Sonic the Hedgehog ($2.99/£1.99/€2.69) is out now for Android devices via Google Play.
