Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Even if you disagreed with my earlier ramblings that shmup players experience a different sort of zen in their trials and tribulations than most of us do, you have to admit that the above video -- the final boss in stage 5 of Mushihimesama Futari -- is the most insane thing ever. Shmup fans insist that nobody has beat this boss without continuing. Warning! This video may cause unsightly crapping of the pants.
 
Though I love me a good shmup, I've never been much for the bullet hell titles, games that focus just a smidge too much on the wee-hitbox, high-memorization, ultimate dodging super-doom style of gameplay. Still, impressive nonetheless.
 
Hit the jump for an even crazier video from Mushihimesama Ultra, guaranteed to make your nose bleed.
 
Also: don't forget, shmup fans: Radio Allergy (AKA Radirgy) is supposedly due out on the GameCube next week. I say "supposedly" because it's not listed at GameStop or anywhere else of note except Amazon and Wal-Mart. Keep an eye out, it's only twenty bucks. Ah, frugality!

All the bullets on screen remind me of Ikaruga, which is also retardedly hard...in a good way.

Now that I have watched it I will say that boss is nothing...since it gives you unlimited continues what is the point? Now with a limited # of lives...Jesus might be able to handle it :)

Hard bosses:
Xmen COTA Magneto 8Stars
Last Battle Final Boss
Thunderforce II Final (and pre fianl) Boss

@ ShinAmano
CoTA Magneto is one of your all times? Who were you using?
I mean, he was hard, but if I don't ruin a controller or my day in the process of trying to beat it, it doesn't go into the pantheon of difficulty.

I'm going to create a shmup who just shoots a big square that touches the edges of the screen so you're fucked, can't dodge it. Boom.

There's a difference between hard and cheap. The title of this post should be "cheapest bosses."

Is the only thing you Destructoid bloggers can do is regurgitate all the stories that make it to the front page of digg?

It doesn't look as hard to be honest. It's just very precise on where you have to be. I think the faster ones that have you moving all over the screen are harder tbh.

That said, I couldn't beat this game with God on my sofa cheering me on and giving me his super powers.

Sadpanda, yep, that's all we can do.

God forbid we post about the things we find cool or intriguing. Bear in mind that 95% of everything you read on Kotaku and Joystiq are, y'know, lifted from elsewhere too.

We're a gaming blog. That's how we roll. Bitch.

Be sure to shit in his Cheerios too, just for effect. I mean, wow, what a fucking pig anus.

Anyway, the video would've been all the more impressive had it been clear enough to actually see what's going on. What I could make out though, was an utterly insane assload of shots that looked nearly impossible to dodge. I didn't shit myself, but I did raise an eyebrow.

"We're a gaming blog. That's how we roll. Bitch."

Wow ... you sounded so hardcore just then. I know I'm impressed.

99% of destructoid is nothing more than someone re-spewing digg stories with a few sentences of text to make it seem like an actual "story".

I think you should change the headline at the top of your site to "Unfiltered Digg Stories - Updated Constantly Every Day". That'd be a little bit more descriptive of what this site actually is.

'Bullet Hell' shoot 'em ups are bullocks. I can understand a challenge on a final boss, I can even understand the screen filling with shots on occasion, but if your game is lowered to "oh, I died because I WAS ONE PIXEL OFF!", then that's just video game wankery. There must be something more inventive to do in a shoot 'em up than "if dodging a hundred shots is a challenge, then dodging a thousand shots will be an even greater challenge!"
