  • What are the Top New Retro Games of 2023 you can't wait to play? Run N Guns, Shoot Em Ups, Platformers and more, Arcade style games from smaller indie developers that are far more exciting than most AAA titles these days. Every console from Switch, PS4 and PS5, Xbox Series and STEAM, along with Mega Drive and PC Engine re-releases, the lineup of incoming arcade and retro syle games is unmatched! If you're tired of the same old Top 10 New Games lists with nothing but first person, open world, and AAA games, and are looking for some old school arcade action and retro games instead, along with a TON OF SHMUPS, then this Top Games List is for you!

      Just feel lucky Timmy hasn't started commenting on your videos yet... that's the last thing you need ahaha. Think of never awake as something like Natsuki Chronicles story mode only broken into a bunch of bite size super short loops. You're gonna replay them a lot and focus on upgrades. It's the opposite of arcade like and the formula often doesn't work. But in never awake it just does at least for me.

    Just finished watching now my Sunday roast has been consumed and it’s pretty much confirmed, 2023 is absolutely shaping up to be one of the best for both shmups and top tier quality retro games.
    Iron Meat looks amazing as well as Prison City which is totally up my street!
    Love that you’ve included Batsugun and the M2’s Zero Fire so quickly after being announced too!!
    Really looking forward to Terra flame as well as the console version of Schildmaid MX but pretty much every game in this video will be added to my collection.
    Thanks as always for the enthusiasm and love you always put in to these premium videos

But I've settled in and am much happier doing more with less and making them as good as possible. Even so I had to rush this out and wanted to include even more games I couldn't. I did have to throw in the Zero Fire announcement in at the last minute! Here's to another year of an endless array of worthy games draining our wallets haha.

    Sweet video SJ! It’s awesome to see more and more these indie titles get released, and in physical form no less. I need to play Gunvein #BOMBA 😆. I’ve listened to the soundtrack on my way home from work numerous times, it’s so dang good. All the games you showed here are great, there are some real bangers in this list, but I’m gonna be honest, the most anticipated game for me in 2023 is CYGNI. I cannot wait to see what Konami has done with its return to the shooting game genre.

    • @ShmupJunkie
      @ShmupJunkie  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm really looking forward to playing a lot more of it as well and feel lucky to have a chance with the early beta testing. I think it will definitely divide a lot of players as they are aiming for both casual (non-shmup) and shmup players alike. The inertia is going to be a sticking point, but if they do it right it can show others it's possible. Another game ExtraGalactica has it and it's super fun. No question the production value is off the charts. If they can maintain the same level of presentation across the entire game, it'll quite possibly be the most polished looking STG of all time. In the meantime, enjoy some Gunvein! Just added you for the giveaway my friend.

    While I'm sure its (current) PS5 exclusivity is a sticking point for lots of people, Final 3 might be my most hyped thing on this pretty incredible list. For me, there are very few games, shmups or otherwise, more nostalgic than R-Type and it wasn't that long ago where I thought I'd never see another one. I hope you get the opportunity to cover it in depth here on the channel.

    • @ShmupJunkie
      @ShmupJunkie  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Since I did an in-depth for Final 2, I can imagine doing it for Final 3 as well... long as there is enough new content to justify it. I own a PS5 and will definitely pick it up and find out. I'm hoping it's really good and worth the upgrade too. My favorite thing about Final 2 thus far is how much DLC has been released. I knew they would make them but didn't imagine it would be so many.

      @@ShmupJunkie The DLC output has been really staggering. As a backer, I was kind of floored with how big the game got. To the best of my recollection, we've covered everything they wanted to do for stretch goals, even the ones we didn't hit, and beyond. It has been a real treat to see (and play). Hopefully Final 3 packs in enough new stuff to make it worth the video.

    Gonna be extremely disappointed if R-Type Final 3 Evolved doesn't drop on Steam. It's good to see they actually put time and effort into the new stages as they look fantastic, I just hope some of that graphical love goes to the original game as well (Looking at you, Stage 3.0). Also didn't realize Valfaris was getting a shmup spinoff, and thanks to a friend giving me a tip-off, seems Pocky and Rocky Reshrined is coming out on steam sometime soon, uncensored too! It's looking to be a great year for shmups!

    Man, bringing up the teleportation mechanic in Sophstar jarred my brain and made me want to revisit Velocity 2X on my PS4. That was a trip of an action game! The art wasn't amazing, but when I'm in the mood to test myself with crazy speedrunning levels, it really is trememdous!
    Glad to see Valfaris getting a sequel. I really liked it and Slain.

It wouldn't be a proper Timmy sketch without a chancla thrown in, but he was moonlighting on me so I guess he deserved it haha. Just added you for Drainus!

    Great video as always Junkie! There's quite a few games here that look awesome and I really wanna get. Drainus is one that I really want considering how good people say it is and it finally heading to Switch. I got interested in Moonrider from this video showing it to be so smooth looking. The Toaplan Collection from Bitwave is awesome to see even though I'm not as crazy into Toaplan because Bit Wave makes awesome games (I literally just finished their game Wunderling DX just a few days ago) and M2's collections are cool, but farrr too expensive for me to justify spending nearly $70 to $80 on such old games and not many of them. Not to knock M2 of course, The Ray collection is a definite get (even Ray-Gear is a preorder Japan exclusive sadly 😔), and their new Aleste game looks awesome, although I'm still waiting on Senjin Aleste to come to console which you made a video on (which I saw you removed sadly).
