is the game part of the shmup genre?
@yeso#17082 Yes, it is a Shmup.

@saddleblasters#17015 Yes, there is indeed some love going on – though not necessarily between humans.
I'm worried that what I said before might mislead people. The romantic relationship I mentioned is a very minor part of the plot that is only mentioned briefly. It is not the reason that the theme is love!
Cho Aniki is a shmup about love
is there any dolphin or robot or whatever romance in sonic wings?
@Gaagaagiins#17095 …but it has a female protagonist…
also there is another game (a game that you could say cho aniki is the aniki of) that is so much about love that it has the word "love" (or another language's equivalent) in the title!

@saddleblasters#17099 Gaagaagiins …but it has a female protagonist…
I have exposed myself as a _Cho Aniki_ poseur... Thank you for teaching me, aniki
...but does that mean the game is _Ai Cho Aniki?_

@yeso#17096 is there any dolphin or robot or whatever romance in sonic wings?
Please no spoilers for _Sonic Wings_
@Gaagaagiins#17101 yes, the game i was thinking of is ai cho aniki! i wanted to do either a lunar new year game or a valentines day game. i couldn’t think of any good games that explicitly feature the lunar new year (and not just the non-lunar new year), so i went with valentines day, and, for whatever reason, ai cho aniki is the first game that comes to mind when i think of love. also it has amazing music.

anyways i'm disappointed that gaagaagiins, the creator of the thread, won! i thought yeso was going to get it immediately when they asked if it was a shmup. oh well! it's your turn now
Hehehe……. unfortunately for @yeso#17096-aniki, whose contributions to this thread were the assist I needed to carve my path to glory, I am very competitive.

Hint: **Unsuccessful sequel.**
@Gaagaagiins#17108 was the game a commercial flop?

@yeso#17111 Gaagaagiins was the game a commercial flop?
Yeah. Not famously so or anything. Which is maybe the saddest kind of commercial flop.
Does the game's name start with a vowel?

@CidNight#17117 Does the game’s name start with a vowel?
Unaffirmative. As in, no.

Nope and nope!
16 questions remaining.
I am still at a loss, but I feel bad that this is languishing a bit so I'll throw out a few more!
Is the game a platformer?
Is there a multiplayer component to the game?
Was this the last game ever produced in this series? i.e. did this unsuccessful sequel "kill" the franchise?

Not a platformer!
Totally singleplayer.
It was the last game produced in this series, although, let's say there wasn't _too_ much to kill in the first place.

Is it Deadly Premonition 2?
@saddleblasters#17343 oh that seems right
