Sonic Wings Reunion Is Coming To Switch, PS5 And Steam Next Year

Very nice, I hope it stays near its classic gameplay. There were a couple sequels to old shmup series I’d read about but haven’t seen news since. I know I read Strikers was in the works someplace..

@NinChocolate This is being developed by success, who’s cotton sequels have all been great from what I’ve seen, so I think we’re in good hands👍

Hopefully it will be better than Sengoku Cannon on PSP

So not only is a good underrated shmup series returning, we will (well we already are, as seen in the Twitter post image) see the lovely Mao Mao again? Score!

@Coolmusic I suppose the stranger characters were the dolphin or Rabio and Lepus (two rabbits from an earlier arcade horizontal shooter titled after them, I can only imagine my local rollerskating rink as a child was one of the few places to get the US version of that, Rabbit Punch).

As a casual shmup fan who enjoys older, more forgiving titles and just can't get into bullet hell entries, the whole Aerofighters series is a treat. Short, bite sized levels combined with having a ton of different ships really scratches that fast paced arcade itch. IMO a great series for a more relaxed shooter experience.

Sonic wings is super super underrated as a Shmup series

@Azathoth I hear you, just not sure about "older games are more forgiving" - it really depends on the series. But this particular one in question, I enjoyed the classic games quite a bit so this is great news!

Hopefully with Success at the Helm it should be damn good 👍

You’re bringing back an old arcade shmup (one of the most niche genres) and that’s the presentation? So weird..

The fact that they refuse to show gameplay isn't giving me hope...
