We have data! Layer Section is 5 or 6 frames of lag on the Switch, and just 3 frames of lag (!!!) on the PS4.
Thanks! “(Normal)” and “(Large)” refer to selecting the large window size setting instead of the native one. It’s on Large by default. So apparently, the smooth filter doesn’t affect lag?
This is maybe the nicest way to play the early Touhou entries
it was DMCA’d recently but the dosbox-x config is still available and the required “touhou.hdi” is just a Google away. The page now has an interesting (if charged) examination of code ZUN borrowed in making Touhou 3.
Plays great with a controller!
IDK if anyone mentioned it but Eschatos is now out worldwide on PS4—it's identical to the recent Switch port in terms of content/features, ie it includes the remastered music and load-less stages, the two Wonderswan ports, etc.
Ooh what are people’s favorite ships?
Mine is Birthday’s boyfriend Mad Romero who turned himself into a motorcycle so they can always be together
Purely from a visual standpoint it‘s hard to beat Agony’s owl (sorry about the flickering)
@TracyDMcGrath Ooh what are people’s favorite ships?
The one and only Time Gal herself! … But I assume you meant from a mechadesign perspective. Gotta love the Dunbine-inspired era of biomechas like Seirei Senshi Spriggan and Winds of Thunder.

Glowing (and informative) review of Andro Dunos II. I hope they fix the tiny issues around the console versions soon. The video does not address the 3DS version. A friend got it and apparently it’s a pretty subpar, afterthought port, but I guess they’ll wipe away their tears with fat stacks of dollar bills when they resell this obscure 2022 physical shmup release in a decade or so.

Does anyone know what happened to Koichi Yoshida?!!?!
I’m pretty casual in my appreciation of the STG genre, but next Friday I’m going to be all in on Harmful Park for a weekend.
Same group that did the Racing Lagoon translation.
@VenusEmperor he’s on github now lol releasing tools for x68k development
@antillese I adore Harmful Park. One of the best PS1 games one of the best Cute Em Ups
This week on Arcade Archives, Gaplus!
Also known as Galaga 3 for some reason even though it is the direct sequel. There is no Galaga 2.
Pocky and Rocky also out today on the Japanese eShop. Hishozame, Same! Same! Same!, and Wardner drop next week so get those eShop cards, you're going to need them this month
@TracyDMcGrath Pocky and Rocky also out today on the Japanese eShop
Got my copy coming in the mail imported from Japan… And have an English copy on pre-order for next month. I’m so hungry for it!!!
@Funbil it‘s incredible. I haven’t had this much fun with a new game in a long time.
Tengo‘s Project’s 3 for 3 right now… I hope they make something original next time, they've more or less run out of games to remake.
I‘m extremely excited about Reshrined, but I’ll admit I‘m a little worried that the North American release on the eShop isn’t listed yet, especially since it‘s supposedly launching at the end of May. This was one of my favourite series on SNES, so maybe this needs to be one of the extremely rare games I’m willing to import? It‘s a tough call, since I’ve got a mountain of games in my backlog, so maybe I should just wait and see.
@Karasu I believe it‘s coming to the rest of the eShops at the end of May. (Edit oops you already said that, sorry it’s early. This point still stands though->) The menus and story are all already translated so it seems highly unlikely that it will stay in Japan
