Anyone excited to drop $35 on this? 😅 Castle of Shikigami 2 (Japanese/English) bit.ly/3X4lJYi 5% off: SWTV23 Western releases Europe: Links coming later. North America: Links coming later
Hellyes i am gonna be grabbing this payday i did have money but wound up getting Defenders Of Ekron: Definitive Edition and Galak-Z The Void i had no idea this released or i would of threw my $35 at the eShop if it was possible
Same, was surprised that it ended up on Xbox 360 and Wii, but not on PS3. Now Shikigami 2 is a Switch/Windows exclusive. Guess the devs prefer Ninty and Microsoft. Just got this bad boy last night. Have a lot of good memories of this game. Still fun to this day. Hard series though..
I wish fantastic danmaku festival 1 & 2 was on switch. This castle of shikigami is interesting. Esp ra de is good and there's an English helper guide on the net somewhere. Thanks for the review
Was this the Japanese version you played? If so, how is the English friendliness of the menus and cutscenes etc, is there an ENG language select in the options?
It’s all in English. The only bit that isn’t is a weird part in the third stage that tells you how to complete a puzzle. But it’s pretty easy to work out
Still asking myself : "Do I take the japanese version🏯 or do I wait an european one 🏰? One sure thing... I need this one :) Thanks for the review Jordan 🏯
Switch has fast become the go to console for shmups, I love it. Btw, Jordan do you own a flip grip to play in tate mode? If so, would you recommend it?
@@SwitchWatch I would love to get one too, or at least try one out. Unfortunately it seems like shops here in South Africa don't want to stock all of these swanky things.
I used to have this game on the PS2 and thought the dialogue and voice acting was horrendously bad. I tried playing it through, but I just couldn't appreciate it nor any games in the shooter genre. I just kept dying and kept sucking and wasn't getting any better. I sold the damn thing and never bothered with any game like it. Almost 20 years later, I now have a newfound love and addiction for shooters, thanks to TH-camrs like Shmup Junkie. I just got the physical copy of Castle of Shikigami 2, and though it's still hard as hell, I had a lot more fun with the game than I did back then. And I love that the translation of the character dialogue is better. Overall, this game is crazy challenging. But it's that kind of challenge I crave.
This is coming to Switch? Yes? Port this along with Castle of Shikigami 1 and 3. I saw it for PS2 at my local comic book store and bought it on the spot. My friend and I were not disappointed.
$35 isn't a bad price if it's a high quality release with lots of modes, improved visuals, and low input lag. This appears to be a high quality package. How is the input lag though? (Come on man it's a shmup you gotta address this in your reviews)
It’s fine. For me. That’s the exact reason I don’t review many shooters because there’s a whole bunch of shmup fans who get more enjoyment out of input latency rather than playing the actual game and they need to be told what they should think about it by people who make a living off complaining about input lag.
Oooff.. glad I opted for Alien Isolation on sale for £10 now I know the price of this. Speaking of... is it just me who desperately wants an Alien Isolation physical release for Switch?

Almost bought it mid-video until you mentioned a western release. Great review as always! 🏰
I remember playing castle of shikigami III on the wii - I liked that game alot

thx for the review 🙏🏻
Shikigami 2 ? From the Dreamcast PS2 era nonetheless and sounds cool imo and 35 isn't a bad deal . Better than paying $70 but that's just me ❤❤
This was one of the awesome Dreamcast shmups that people would import

Thanks for the review
How's the input lag?
🏰 Greta review and thanks
how is the input lag?
Fun fact: This game was also released on Nintendo GameCube. So it means this is second release of same game on Nintendo.
A despair-free comment - great review! 🏰
My favourite kind of comment! 🏰

Ooohhh. It's on Switch now. I have it on PS2 and it's really fun.
I remembered the PS2 western release having one of the most hilariously bad dubs of any game. It was almost a treat to listen to how bad it was.
The bad dubs was the best part about it.
The Switch and the PS4 have had tons of shooters for the last few years. Can't wait to see the Telenet collection soon. Woo hoo 😎😎😎
Still asking myself : "Do I take the japanese version🏯 or do I wait an european one 🏰?
One sure thing... I need this one :)
Thanks for the review Jordan

Nice! 🏯

Sadly I don't, but I would definitely buy one if I had the chance. I can't seem to get a proper one around here.
@@SwitchWatch I would love to get one too, or at least try one out. Unfortunately it seems like shops here in South Africa don't want to stock all of these swanky things.
Too much flickering on the screen for me, but that's expected
🏰 Good Review, thanks! 🏰
Thanks a lot Darren! 🏰
does this one have the English dub?
No
Gracias, ya hice mi compra en Playasia

Does this game have dub in it? Kinda like awkward English voice act from ps2 version lol
No only Japanese
Bullet hell games aren't really my thing because I've never had the patience to learn the patterns.🏯🏯

Lol there still in PS2 era how sad
it's great
🏰 this is a no for me, dawg. Even as a mild shmup fan.
