Soldier Blade and shooters
« on: October 07, 2010, 01:00:41 PM »
I've recently started to become really interested in PCE shooters.  I've got Salamander, Gradius, and Air Zonk (which I'm wanting to trade for the PCE version) right now, with Super Star Soldier on the way.  I've been going through emulators and trying new games and found I really like the Soldier series of games.  I plan on buying Final Soldier soon, too.  I am wondering, however, why Soldier Blade is so much more expensive than the rest of the games related to it.  Is it just an uncommon game?  Also, I'm open to suggestions for other shooters to look for.

I can't explain the price difference, but highly recommend Download as a great 'cheap' shooter.

In the US, Soldier Blade was one of the later releases, and might therefore be a little bit more rare. It's also very highly regarded.

Beigemore, have you tried Image Fight yet??

Nope, haven't tried Image Fight.  I do have R-Type for TG16, but need the PCE one now since that's the only system I have.  Star Parodia looks pretty awesome.  I'll check all the recommendations.  Thanks everyone.

Can't argue with a list like that. OBEY NEXZR!

As for Soldier Blade, like rags said the US release was a later release and it's a popular favourite, and for good reason.

Soldier Blade is a bit spendy because it's frickin' awesome!  Easily the bestest HuCard shmup.

As for other shootie suggestions, add Dead Moon to Tatsu's list and you're good to go.  Note that the last two titles, while quite good are also quite expensive.

Who cares if you need a supergrafx, the games legit as f*ck. :)

I agree with Cotton and Dead Moon, both underrated in my opinion. Both blow away more popular shooters like Raiden and Blazing Lazers to me. Also, Soldier Blade IS the best Hucard Shooter.......

In my opinion Soldier Blade is the best Hucard shooter and the second best shooter on the PC-Engine after Winds of Thunder.

Saying that Super Star Soldier and Final Soldier are both great too but Soldier Blade is the best.  :D

I don't think soldier blade is the best from a pure shooting perspective, but it sure does look fantastic.

I would also submit Metamor Jupiter! Fantastic music and some crazy effects that I didn't really think the PCE could do.
