Valkyrie Hunter D

Do you remember Journey from the PS3 era? Journey's maker made another game which looks like a spiritual sequel:

To help you forget how much you spent on a Metal Structure Sazabi:

R.I.P. to a true musical pioneer, Sly Stone:

Best part about every new Styropyro post is it stands as confirmation he hasn't managed to accidentally kill himself.

 

Second-best part is seeing what mad science he's up to this time, and how likely it is to blind someone(or everyone).

It's just a matter of time me thinks. The kid is certainly a genius mad scientist.

Next up on the bench will be project for the summer beach visits:

If space permits, I'll install a FPV camera inside for ultra geeky goodness.

It may be totally unrelated, but I've been seeing a lot more Metal Structure Nu's on Mandarake lately.

Leon is still supposedly a main character:

The setting has changed, but it looks this game got the green light:

Ooh, AI assisted lightguns. There are a few lightgun peripherals out there now, but this one has Namco's support behind it:

It might be an expensive model kit, but I think it is a way better proposition compared to the Metal Structure.

It already has the Metal Structure version beat in terms of articulation.

Well shoot, it's about time:

Good lord, imagine getting blasted in the face with this thing (Shooting begins at around the 6:07 mark):

Just another place to visit next time I'm in Japan.

Well, at least it's not Sydney Sweeney

The trailer for the FM3 remake shows improvement in the combat scenes compared to the demo from last year.  I'm hoping ForeverEntertainment really listened to the feedback.

I'd rather see the Capcom side of the Gamerverse, but I'll have to track down Juggernaut and the Psylocke pack.

Not a Front Mission game, but it's pretty damn close:

Tactical mech squad gameplay with an alternate 1970's war theater?  Sign me up.  It's like a love child between Front Mission and Ring of Red.

While it is a brand new game, Nitro Express certainly has the retro vibe going on:

With Ayane on the way I guess it should not have been a surprise:

Anybody heard any news about when the Macross II game will be released?

Nothing yet, and I'm keeping my ear on the ground for it too.

I'm truly hoping the Macross Plus game gets the same treatment.  I haven't played that one since my MAME days.

The Entry Grade kit nailed the original look of the Nu superbly.  The undergate method used to hide the sprue nubs and the finish it has right out of the box all added up to one of the most fun builds I've had in recent times.  Great price too.

Ooh, I like the proportions on this Nu.  If and when I do build mine, I'll keep the grey panels white.  IMO, there are too may of them and gives a splotchy look I don't particularly care for.

There are going to be a TON of aftermarket parts/add-ons for this kit.

Here's an interesting collection of Telenet shooters, including Browning and Final Zone II, that were only released on the PC Engine:

Ecco was hard game to beat.  Not like Chakan the Forever Man hard, but a challenge nonetheless.  The plot was quite good, it has quite an unexpected turn IIRC.
