Ikaruga is one of the purest gaming experiences out there. It's a brutally difficult shoot-'em-up, the kind of short-but-sweet game that takes a clever mechanic, explores it to its full extent, and doesn't pack on any unwanted fat. You coul...

Treasure's everlasting shmup Ikaruga is officially headed to Nintendo Switch. After some not-so-subtle port teases last month, the company is moving ahead with Nicalis for a Switch version that's due out May 29, 2018. It'll cost $14.99 on t...

Whenever I see Treasure still being talked about, my eyes light up. Most of their classics are still relevant and played today, but the more platforms we can play them on, the merrier. Based on this complete tease of a tweet, we might be ge...

Ikaruga is one of those games that can't be ported enough. The vertical shoot-'em-up is a bona fide gem, the kind of shmup that even people who "don't really mess with shmups" can learn to love. A recent listing with Germany's ratings board...

Shoot 'em ups are basically the sharks of the videogame industry. Relics from a bygone era, they've remained steadfast since the dawn of time. And really, would you have it any other way? Exemplars of the mantra "if it ain't broke don't fix...

It's going to be a 'WTF Wednesday' of ridiculous proportions today on Mash Tactics. King Foom is flinging himself face-first into Treasure's oddball PlayStation 2 title Stretch Panic. I could go into a full description of the game, but all ...
