[Retro Game] I’m now wanting to play STGs on the PlayStation but I’m finding Gradius Gaiden to be pricey…

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s play Raystorm.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>1

However, Lake Crisis, you are no good.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I think it used to be around 2000 yen back in the day, the side story.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I remember it being in the mini, but it is a mini after all…

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s a hassle that it’s not even included in the archives.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

PS1 games have become expensive, haven’t they?

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Bokan is interesting, but it’s expensive if you buy it now.”

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be because there are no transplants, but it’s also that extreme parodies have gotten more expensive…

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

For now, make sure to play Einhander and Philosoema as well.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sexy Parodius is so expensive…!

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Retro STGs, not limited to PS, tend to be expensive…

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>10

It’s been said for a long time that only enthusiasts buy it, and they rarely let it go.

I hope it gets ported to Steam.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>10

Even games that aren’t well-received among fans can still rise in price normally.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

I should have bought the spin-off back then, about 20 years ago, when I was debating whether to buy it or not at the used store.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not a perfect transplant, but if I were to play DoDonPachi now, I’d probably choose the PS version through the process of elimination.

It feels like there’s not much difference anymore in setting up a Saturn environment.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are hardly any opportunities to see things like stahlfeder or air grave.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s in a state where I don’t know when the broadcast will end.

It might be a good idea to get the ones you can buy in the archives while you still can.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Let’s do it on PSP.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>17

You can buy it directly if you connect to Wi-Fi, and the D-pad’s usability is good.

Isn’t VITA better?

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>17

Gladiator Portable is good, right?

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>30

XEXEX included in Salamander Portable is also good!

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m really glad I bought the R-TYPEΔ from the archives early on…

I heard that Thunder Force V and Densha de Go! are also gone.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s nice that I can cover a good number of games in the Archives just for playing.

Especially the ones that have already surged, like Harmful, Gaia Seed, and Queene.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

Add Zanac Neo as well.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Still, I can have faint hopes that major titles might get ported someday, but for minor titles, I really think this is the end.

There’s definitely not going to be a port of Gamera 2000.

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

It’s here━━━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━━━ !!!!!

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s do the Purple Flame Dragon, Purple Flame Dragon.

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

GetP-X… It’s my recommendation.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>28

Well, it’s not very interesting as a STG (shoot ’em up)…

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>28

It has a significant aspect as a novelty game, but the change system and the surprisingly abundant bonus modes are interesting, right?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since almost all Saiyko STG games can be played for free on smartphones, I think I’m good with the ported versions.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

IT HAS COME━━━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━━━ !!!!!

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There aren’t many horizontal screen vertical shoot ’em ups, you know.

I know it’s a failed port with a lot of performance drops, but…

Still, I wanted the Soaring Crimson Brigade in the archives.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a world where I’m quite happy with the fulfilling transplants happening now.

Gradius Gaiden still has limited options to play…

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Harmful Park is currently being traded on Mercari for between 100,000 and 200,000 yen.

Even though it’s in the archive, the price hasn’t dropped, huh?

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Please release Giga Wing 2…

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>39

Let’s buy it! Dreamcast!

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>46

I’m regretting that I threw away the Saturn as well…

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>53

The Saturn can still manage with SSF, but the Dreamcast has the GD-ROM issue…

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The digital version and the physical package are separate categories.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Let’s play the major title Thunder Force X Perfect Pack.

The SS version is better.

Sorry.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

Deathwing… Colony Wars…

Where are you now…

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The impression of STG being lively in Saturn, when looked at again, shows that the main focus is on the arcade version’s ports, and those have been relatively well ported to current systems.

On the contrary, it feels like there are quite a few original games that can only be played on PlayStation.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

The ease of development must have been a big factor after all.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

On Mercari, the first edition is around 4,000 to 6,000 yen used, and the best version is around 3,000 yen, so that’s about normal, but on Rakuten and Amazon, it’s really expensive…

Well, it probably depends on the degree of deterioration and whether it’s a complete item or not.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>45

The items are listed at prices that are far beyond premium, aimed at people who don’t properly research the market.

People selling used games on sites like Rakuten set their prices accordingly…

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gambard had a lot of great extras.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

Zanfine is nice, isn’t it…?

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

The rivalry between the SS and PS with Thunder Force V placed in the center! It’s something I hardly see anymore now.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>52

Everything can be solved with retro games.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

There have been changes in this layer, but the frequency of seeing STG threads itself has decreased…

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

The PS Vita is incredibly excellent as a dedicated archive device.

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Games like Strikers 1945 that are available on Steam or have been ported to current consoles are great, but…

Titles that can only be played on PS are generally sold at inflated prices… DonPachi on Amazon is over 10,000 yen…

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Zanac is great, isn’t it?

I love this game as a shooting game because it has a different development every week since I played it on MSX.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Xevious and Xevious Arrangement included in Xevious 3DG are great, aren’t they?

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was incredibly difficult to play a vertical shooter that only scrolled vertically based on the position of the player’s ship, as it felt very unnatural.

Almost recommended for portrait mode.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>61

It’s frustrating that this is the only mode for the first generation bee in horizontal screen mode.

The SS version has rough processing drops and sound issues, which is frustrating.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, there was also Namco Museum on PS.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>62

The screen blackout during the drag racing road was too awful.

The rest was good, though.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to part with the shooters on SS and PS…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>65

Are you playing?

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>66

I’m doing it.

Out of nostalgia, I’ve been playing not just STG but also a few other genres of games here and there.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

That’s impressive… I should learn from it.

85: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>79

I think it’s good to prepare an easy-to-play environment.

When you are used to playing games on a PC, first you have to set it up on the TV or monitor, start it up, and grab the controller…

I felt that it was cumbersome and became difficult to do.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

The CD is also nearing the end of its life.

If you have something on hand, it’s better to make a backup.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

A dislike for the culture that reveres unopened items.

There are no particular merits in terms of storage either.

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Everything that used to be 980 yen in the wagon has all become more expensive.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I believe that the Aokyun Guren Corps will come soon in the Saturn Tribute.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m putting Einhander and R-TYPE Δ in my Vita’s archive, but I wonder how long the memory card will last…

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>72

Be careful because Vita’s memory cards often die.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>75

Seriously, I should be able to transfer it to my PC or something, so maybe I should back it up again…

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have Gradius Gaiden, but I still can’t clear the crystal stage…

It’s difficult but fun.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

I tried starting Gradius Gaiden and immediately adjusted the power-up order to be able to attach options quickly.

I was being soft back then…

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

That’s something everyone does at least once…

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

There were a lot of great bundles like the Raiden Project and the Simple 1500 Raystorm Crisis.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

I used to play Einhander and Sexy Parodius a lot.

I laughed when I tried to watch Sexy Parodius on Amazon and it asked for age verification.

I just remembered that I had borrowed and had my game “Game Paradise” taken from me…

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>80

I had two Lain DVDs borrowed and never returned.

I will never forgive you.

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>82

Two?!

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>83

I lent one to two different friends, and it was stolen.

Even if you blame me, I won’t remember a single point.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was excited to be able to play Dodonpachi on console and played it a lot.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

I should have bought VITATV after all…!!

87: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The low barrier to entry until startup makes the archives on PSP or Vita excellent as well.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

I ordered SuperStationOne, so I’m buying various software.

I can’t wait for it to arrive…

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s expensive, but it’s the cheapest now.
