Moon Cresta was my first arcade game ever played.

Anyone know if a physical edition for PS4 is planned?

Limited Run is doing a physical.

Looks decent but $39.99/$49.99 is pretty fucking steep. With the physical you should be able to get most of your money back if you decide to sell it in the future, but fuck $40 for digital. The physical of Dangun Feveron is selling for $80 on ebay compared to $45 which was the retail price.

I like how it looks. It's kind of weird, it reminds me of that psx/ps2 era when making sequels and updates for classic games was all the rage and genuinly fresh. Feels like we are accessing the farther past vía an intermediate past which was playfully modern and a little brazen but now feels a little outdated. Unprecedented times in the echoverse




(Echoverse, I like the sound of that. You saw it here first)

Also fuck limited run games and all those similar companies. If physical must die then let it die, the way it's being kept alive is cringey as fuck. Yes preservation is important, but the very fact this enterprise calls itself limited run games is litterally uninspired shit

The Japanese physical has already been announced. No need to jump to Limited Run if you don't like them. Shmups in general seem to be good about Japanese physical releases.

Yuzo Koshiro on the music? Nice.
