Milky Panda http://www.milkypanda.com I am trying my hand at graphic design Wed, 18 Aug 2010 06:07:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 3rd test post http://www.milkypanda.com/?p=227 http://www.milkypanda.com/?p=227#comments Wed, 18 Aug 2010 06:07:00 +0000 admin http://www.milkypanda.com/?p=227 Let’s face it – Australia misses out on a lot of great games, particularly if distributors consider a title to be too obscure. This is understandable in terms of business practice, but frustrating for those on the hunt for such games, especially if they are unable to shop online. The shmup (short for shoot ‘em up) is a good example of an entire genre that suffers from this. It is quite a niche market just about anywhere outside of Japan and not just Australia. It is quite rare to see a shmup on a store shelf here, with only a handful of titles, such as Ikaruga and Soldner X, being available for digital download. But it seems as though this perspective is slowly shifting, with the recent release of Death Smiles in the USA and the region-free Mushihimesama Futari on the Xbox 360. Developed by Japanese shmup masters Cave, Espgaluda II follows hot on the heels of their previous title, Mushihimesama Futari and also takes a leaf out of the region-free book, much to the delight of shmup fans worldwide.
