About Me


Old-school gamer. I started gaming with the Atari 2600. I became an addict with the arcade release of Street Fighter II at my college. The SNES release pushed me into buying that system and a lame arcade stick. I haven't looked back since then. I still consider the 16-bit to be the Golden Age of gaming. The current generation is keeping me pretty happy, especially with the fighting game renaissance that's happening lately. And, yes, I'm old.

Proud owner of: Kiwi Gameboy Color, GBA SP, GBA Micro, PSP 3000, White DS Lite, Silver NeoGeo Pocket, purple SwanCrystal, SNES, Genesis, N64, purple Gamecube, slim PS2, Dreamcast, Wii and PS3.

Favorite Games: Last Blade 2, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Mark of the Wolves, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Zelda: Minish Cap, Dark Stalkers, King of Fighters, Mega Man ZX, Ikaruga, Macross: Do You Remember Love, Raiden Trad, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Valkyria Chronicles, Professor Layton, Killer7



Games on my mind:
Super Street Fighter II HD Remix (PS3)
King of Fighters XII (PS3)
King of Fighters XIII
King of Fighters 2k2: UM (PS2)
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift (PS3)

Some good news for Wii owners and shmups fans
nilcam | 6:39 AM on 07.19.2008 12 comments


I saw a listing in the E3 Wii release dates for the rest of 2008 that caught my eye. UFO is releasing Ultimate Shooter Collection. My first thought was "is that a shmup collection?"Today I was able to find the box art.



Looks like the Radirgy/Chaos Field/Karous collection will be released in the U.S. Glorious news, citizens. Knowing UFO, it will be pushed back and cost $30. Ultimate Shoting Collection has a scheduled release date of September 23.

I have a Wii and, honestly, after E3, this is the most excited about anything I've been in a while. My poor thing only gets used by the GF for Wii Fit, and even she is bored with that.

Nintendo's strategy sells consoles, but it doesn't keep people playing them.

That'd be pretty sweet. I was bummed I never got to play Radirgy after it got canned in the U.S. for the Gamecube.

I have Wii, it is a great dust magnet. But I'll look into this.. I really don't know UFO's games at all, (I've never heard of Radirgy/Chaos Field, etc..). Considering it is priced right, it is time for me to do some wikipedia research on this.

I have a Wii and I DO care. These aren't made my UFO, they're just published by them. Milestone produced these in Japan, they're a small developer, mostly arcade and Dreamcast (which is what most of these came out on first.)

This is a good thing for the shmup scene. We need more of this stuff. If it's not your thing, please politely buzz off and let us bask in the glory. ;) ;)

I own Chaos Field Expanded and the import of Radirgy for Gamecube. I've wanted to play Karous for a long time and this will be my chance. Shmups are one of my favorite genres.
