Alien Soldier for the Genesis/Mega Drive is definitely one of the best run ’n gun games ever made. Other favorites of mine are Cuphead, Contra Hard Corps and Gunstar Heroes.

Cuphead is truly something special. Transcends the genre in multiple ways. But props for giving Dolphin Blue & Purikura Daisakusen shine. They both deserve it, and def were two that certainly made the Final Cut, on my purposefully sparse, tightly curated M.O.D.E.’s in my Saturn & Dreamcast.
Cuphead is a fantastic game but brutally hard too but not one that makes you rage quit for a weird reason though you'd think it would. Rather you just keep coming back trying to memorize the patterns of the boss and eventually will defeat them. The animation is incredible too and with this type of quality of game I'm sure one of the three game companies(Microsoft,Sony,Nintendo) are sure to get the developers under their ownership.
Reggie you should talk about the "Dreamcast Atomiswave Ports", The wonderful community has converted Atomiswave arcade games to run on Dreamcast hardware/emulator. Its BEAUTIFUL man!
Great video Reggie ❤ Fantastic list 😊 A run & gun i discovered lately is called - Metalgun Slinger (GBA game) it was only released in Japan so it's in Japanese but it's pretty simple to get through even without knowing the language. It's a really cool game.
Another Banger video. Contra hard Corps for the Genesis was one of the best run and guns ever made, in my opinion great pics, Reggie. Great job Soldier. Thank you
Bleed 1/2 (well, especially 2) are absolutely hidden gems! The rhythm of Bleed 2 is just pure relentless arcade style gaming (longer than an arcade game tho at a little over an hour to clear, FYI)
Huntdown is amazing, definitely one of the best run and gun games of all time. I'd say it got its inspiration from Robocop vs Terminator but just a far better game. Easily top 10 of all time in this genre.
Awesome video. I know all these games, but I still enjoy hearing other people's takes on them. Konami definitely needs to rerelease Hard Crops Uprising on modern consoles.
Awesome video, love this genre. When I bought my ntsc-j Saturn back in 2001, I was lucky enough to have Purikura Daisakusen as one of the game included in the lot I bought. Super fortunate!
My aunt and I went to the mall one day in 2007. I randomly found Gunstar Super Heroes in a Macys?? Most random store, I didn't even think they sold games there lol. I would've never known of that game if it weren't for that. Loved it back when I was kid. Also, Alien Hominid is a great Run and Gun shooter. Definitely worth a try for those who haven't played it.
Thanks Reggie! I never knew about Hard Corps Uprising. Just played a lil bit of it in RPCS3. It kicks tons of ass. A real treat for sure. I went in expecting a big stuttery mess, but nope, got pleasantly surprised. :D
I do have hardcorps uprising on my series s wishlist, definitely hoping to pick that one up soon! I did pick up blazing chrome on switch... certainly gives me vibes of hard corps back on genesis for sure. gunstar superheroes I had on GBA many years ago... aside from the lack of co op it's not a bad reboot (at least I consider it more a reboot than a sequel) of the Genesis classic!
Awesome video! I love many of these games. Hard Corps Uprising is SICK! I just stuck with arcade mode and had a great time. I Wish they’d port it to steam or PlayStation as my ps3 stopped working a few years ago. Blazing Chrome is godlike as well.
Hard corps uprising is available via backwards compatibility, it is available to purchase on Xbox one or series, still enjoy playing on my series x. It's an amazing game.
Instan like for Gunstar Future Heroes in the thumbnail. It‘s an criminally underlooked game, it just feels perfect and is probably the best run and gun game out there.
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 I got it to work on Xenia it would just be nice to have it released officially especially for the multiplayer. That's how I played it back in the day.
Huntdown is amazing one of the best games I've played on PS4. Co-op is great. It reminds me of the Warriors if it was based in the future. Can you dig it?
I managed to beat Blazing Chrome last year, tough but manageable. Hunt down is great as well! Beat it a few months ago. It’s more methodical than your average run and gun I’d say.
Awesome video Bro and Hard corps is the truth. Plus Cuphead will make you rage endlessly lol but you will feel a true sense of accomplishment once you beat it.
Gunstar Heroes and Contra Hard Corps are my personal fave run and guns. Hard Corps Uprising is also amazing! It deserves a modern port! Also if you have the Sayuri DLC character you can play it kinda like Strider, good stuff!
Cuphead is the king of shooters. It's one of very few games that I genuinely enjoy playing at the age of fourty. My goal is to s rank all the bosses, including dlc, and I will never rest until I achieve it 😂
My Gunstar SH is near mint. Paid 29.99 brand new in 2005. At GameStop of course lol. I played and beat it, so as close as you can get to mint without being sealed. Don't regret opening it for a second.
The only 2 other games that I can say have the same isometric run and gun feel to purikura Daisakusen are Marchen Maze, and Dooms day hunters. Dooms day is newish and on pc/ switch. Highly suggest.
Hello Reggie I love your channel and let me make a recommendation for you to judge the game "Mighty Goose" for now I have only seen it on steam but it is a Metal Slug style game highly recommended
Speaking of Treasure sequels Sin and Punishment 2 was also great! Guardian Super Heroes looks amazing! Never played it. Metal Slug is very tough, more difficult than Contra I’d say.
Did a full play through of Hunt Down on my channel. That game is freaking amazing. Blazing Chrome is also awesome. I need to go back and play Hard Corp Uprising since I never beat that one.
I beat cuphead a few years ago without the DLC on Xbox One. Was a top-fun experience. To do it now the portable way with additionnal levels IS freaking awesome, defenitivly i recommand too.
I still occasionally play hard corps uprising on my series X, incredible game. & Metall slug xx over metal slug x? :O Oh man, this list makes me realise how different my tastes are when it comes to run and guns :p I've never played Dolphin Blue though, looks excellent, hopefully it's get port one day to all current platforms. :)
i always wanted to play that contra game, but as was mentioned, it's on older systems. and if i remember correctly, i only remember it dropping for 360. i could be wrong, but i had a ps3 and would've gotten it if t was. maybe it came out afterwards.
Awesome dude. Love the video. I just got a 800n1 snes multicart..i know I love to have all the physical games but did you think its a good option? I have a video of it on my youtube..lights up lol let me know man. Appreciate you THANKS again bro. Oh btw...where can I get dolphinblue? Lol jk
if the PS4 has backwards compatibilities with PS1, I would not use my ps2 for that purpose. The only consoles backward compatible with ps1 games are the ps2 and ps3
Yeah I'm all In with the run n gun games Hard Corps Uprising is a Legendary hidden gem also Rapid Reload/ Gunners Heaven a Ps1 Europe& Japan only release is ps1 answer to Gunstar Heros,I recently got the Contra Operation Galuga which is epic ending has a continuation (wink wink) AND Rumor is that a CupHead part 2 has been quietly in the works I've been emulating a lot of run & gun games and Shmups for the Psvita with the adrenaline emulator and Megadrive emulator ,px1 etc it also midway had one called Assault Retribution it's I little junky nevertheless it's a must try I really enjoyed this one Big R" I think the Run & Gun is a dying genre hopefully with CupHead,Contra Operation Galuga, more Devs will take a chance at their vision of run & gun games also I got Genpy X for Ps1 emulator it's a must play I think the full title is 70s Action Cartoon Genpy X it's a Japanese Rom but it's top notch with actual gotchaman cutscenes.....😮
Alien Soldier for the Genesis/Mega Drive is definitely one of the best run ’n gun games ever made. Other favorites of mine are Cuphead, Contra Hard Corps and Gunstar Heroes.
no long intro. no "without further ado, let's get into it..." just straight to the good stuff. I appreciate the way you do it, Reggie!
Huntdown is great with that retro 80s action movie aesthetic.

@@The_RadicalOne thank YOU for making the video
Cuphead is truly something special. Transcends the genre in multiple ways.

Yeah that was awesome. There’s what, 5 or 6? Those 2 fighters, dolphin blue and a couple others? Great games
Great video Reggie ❤ Fantastic list 😊 A run & gun i discovered lately is called - Metalgun Slinger (GBA game) it was only released in Japan so it's in Japanese but it's pretty simple to get through even without knowing the language. It's a really cool game.
The graphics for Metal Slug are so detailed, that robot looked absolutely nuts! Incredible animation and pixel art.
I need some of these for my growing collection. Always a pleasure Reggie. Can't wait for the next video!
Never change Reggie, just stay awesome!
Whelp, looks like I need Hard Corp Uprising. Looks lit 🔥
Bangin list dude
Another Banger video. Contra hard Corps for the Genesis was one of the best run and guns ever made, in my opinion great pics, Reggie. Great job Soldier. Thank you
Those are some great titles to add to the collection. Great video Reggie
I've always been partial to Contra: Shattered Solder
Also, One for the PS1. Kind of a crazy but hard game.
Bleed 1/2 (well, especially 2) are absolutely hidden gems! The rhythm of Bleed 2 is just pure relentless arcade style gaming (longer than an arcade game tho at a little over an hour to clear, FYI)
The intro for Hard Corps: Uprising is legendary! Always gets me pumped to play this game!
I love Run and Gun games! ... I'm addicted to them too! ... especially Huntdown! Saludos from 🇪🇸 !

Awesome shooters I've only heard of a couple but would love to play them all. Good showing and cool video Reggie!👉😃👈

Huntdown is one of the best games I have on the switch and I agree, has the warriors vibes for sure!
I just downloaded Hard Corps Uprising and emulated it on Xenia! I got it running at 1440p and it looks great!
I do have hardcorps uprising on my series s wishlist, definitely hoping to pick that one up soon! I did pick up blazing chrome on switch... certainly gives me vibes of hard corps back on genesis for sure. gunstar superheroes I had on GBA many years ago... aside from the lack of co op it's not a bad reboot (at least I consider it more a reboot than a sequel) of the Genesis classic!

Blazing Chrome is godlike as well.
Hey Reg I saw you today in Renton with my buddy Mike. Loved actually getting to meet you finally
Sleeping on guns, gore, cannoli 1 and 2. Also Warhammer: shootas, blood, and teef has a physical for $30. Get it while it’s still cheap
I may add that in a other video, but it’s not something I consider the best.
I love run and gun games. Great video!
I love playing run and gun shooters on hand held devices especially while traveling on planes!
my man reggie !!!! good stuff brother
Good to see you bro. Hope your doing well.
... I played and finished Rise & Shine a few months ago and massively enjoyed it ...
Hard corps uprising is available via backwards compatibility, it is available to purchase on Xbox one or series, still enjoy playing on my series x. It's an amazing game.
Instan like for Gunstar Future Heroes in the thumbnail.
It‘s an criminally underlooked game, it just feels perfect and is probably the best run and gun game out there.
Hard corps: uprising plays great on xbox series x
Good to know.
Great video! nice selection of games for sure!
Don't regret opening and playing my Gunstar SH for a second. It's fantastic.
Uprising really needs to be released on Steam.
If you have a Deck you have a couple options to emulate it with the PS3 and 360 emulator. And same with a fairly good PC too obviously
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 I got it to work on Xenia it would just be nice to have it released officially especially for the multiplayer. That's how I played it back in the day.

Shattered Soldier and Uprising are my absolute Favorites

Awesome video Bro and Hard corps is the truth. Plus Cuphead will make you rage endlessly lol but you will feel a true sense of accomplishment once you beat it.
Hunt Down reminds me of Flash Back /Kid Chameleon style for some reason, looks really great.

Nice, didn't know about Huntdown.. Will pick that one up!
thanks for the demo and info, damm more games to buy for my collection LOL
Huntdown ones of the best games I have ever played!

Another fantastic video! Thanks!
Hunt Down has been my favorite game for tne last 6 months or so. Best game Ive played in a while
The only 2 other games that I can say have the same isometric run and gun feel to purikura Daisakusen are Marchen Maze, and Dooms day hunters. Dooms day is newish and on pc/ switch. Highly suggest.
No Valfaris mention? That game is the GOAT of Run & Gun games.
Contra hardcops is atemporal. What a great game
Contra shattered Soldier was cool too… but blistering hard
Hello Reggie I love your channel and let me make a recommendation for you to judge the game "Mighty Goose" for now I have only seen it on steam but it is a Metal Slug style game highly recommended
Hard Corps Uprising is freaking Dope!! It's one of my favorites. 🤘
Uprising was incredible
Indeed it is. This is one of those games that needs a physical.
Great video Reggie
Speaking of Treasure sequels Sin and Punishment 2 was also great!
Guardian Super Heroes looks amazing! Never played it. Metal Slug is very tough, more difficult than Contra I’d say.
that ps3 contra is one of my favs in the series!!
Should add/consider Guns, Gore, and Canoli 1 & 2. They are a lot of fun both of them.
this guy is the best
Did a full play through of Hunt Down on my channel. That game is freaking amazing. Blazing Chrome is also awesome. I need to go back and play Hard Corp Uprising since I never beat that one.
top list... have wish listed a few of those top titles
I beat cuphead a few years ago without the DLC on Xbox One. Was a top-fun experience. To do it now the portable way with additionnal levels IS freaking awesome, defenitivly i recommand too.
Either people don’t like it as much as I do or it’s not well known but Valfaris is my favorite fun n gun game, highly recommended!
hard corps: uprising.
i bought an xbox one just for this game. it's absolutely amazing.
huntdown is AWESOME!! its a 80's action movie
Lizard Cube/DotEmu/Lizard Crush need to collab and release a new METAL SLUG Series, or maybe the Cup Head studio.
Great suggestions
Another dope video you just earned a Sub
I still occasionally play hard corps uprising on my series X, incredible game.
& Metall slug xx over metal slug x? :O
Oh man, this list makes me realise how different my tastes are when it comes to run and guns :p
I've never played Dolphin Blue though, looks excellent, hopefully it's get port one day to all current platforms. :)
i always wanted to play that contra game, but as was mentioned, it's on older systems. and if i remember correctly, i only remember it dropping for 360. i could be wrong, but i had a ps3 and would've gotten it if t was. maybe it came out afterwards.
Amazing video!
Gunstar hero’s was fantastic.
1 game to recommended:
Fix eight ( mame ). A unique game with lots of characters .
Awesome dude. Love the video. I just got a 800n1 snes multicart..i know I love to have all the physical games but did you think its a good option? I have a video of it on my youtube..lights up lol let me know man. Appreciate you THANKS again bro. Oh btw...where can I get dolphinblue? Lol jk
Huntdown was amazing, tried Cuphead with the same co
Op partner and couldn’t beat it
So I don't see Bleed and Bleed in the PS Store but I do see Bleed 2 and Bleed. They just as good?
I strongly recommend you check out mighty goose its a love letter to metal slug except you play as a goose lol
i'm not sure if the PS4 has backwards compatibilities with PS1 but a really good run and gun game is "rapid reload"
if the PS4 has backwards compatibilities with PS1, I would not use my ps2 for that purpose. The only consoles backward compatible with ps1 games are the ps2 and ps3
Wow this game looks great
i was thinking i might see my friend pedro on this list, but i began to wonder if it was considered a run and gun. it seems like it to me tho.
huntdown, une merveille
I have hard Corps on Xbox one n switched to series X still amazing but maybe I got lucky n bought it before the fly got delisted?? Idk
Broforce anyone.... Anyone....
I did love huntdown though.
Will there be a runinng hack'n'slash video? Like ninja gaiden and the messenger?
Damn i knew so few of these! Have to fix that asap
Why limited run made a physical of bill & ted but not uprising? Lol
id put Contra 1-3, Gunstar Heros and Batman and Robin on the list
Where's Super Cyborg? Incredible indie game like Super C with awesome level design, made by a single developer.
Metal Slug X is my favourite
Yeah I'm all In with the run n gun games Hard Corps Uprising is a Legendary hidden gem also Rapid Reload/ Gunners Heaven a Ps1 Europe& Japan only release is ps1 answer to Gunstar Heros,I recently got the Contra Operation Galuga which is epic ending has a continuation (wink wink) AND Rumor is that a CupHead part 2 has been quietly in the works I've been emulating a lot of run & gun games and Shmups for the Psvita with the adrenaline emulator and Megadrive emulator ,px1 etc it also midway had one called Assault Retribution it's I little junky nevertheless it's a must try I really enjoyed this one Big R" I think the Run & Gun is a dying genre hopefully with CupHead,Contra Operation Galuga, more Devs will take a chance at their vision of run & gun games also I got Genpy X for Ps1 emulator it's a must play I think the full title is 70s Action Cartoon Genpy X it's a Japanese Rom but it's top notch with actual gotchaman cutscenes.....😮
Shock Force needs to be on this list
Still available on PS3?
I thought the store was down.
