I LOVE CAVE bullet hell shmups...and I love playing games on ridiculously large arcade hardware...so playing Akai Katana Shin on the Taito Type X2 arcade board is a no brainer! Sure its not retrogaming but I can play modern sometimes too...right?

I don't ALWAYS have to show OLD arcade hardware on the channel! I can certainly show newer arcade hardware too...so here we are with an entire series on the Taito Type X2 arcade platform as well as the NesicaxLive service!

Up Next; Akai Katana Shin! It's not common that CAVE makes a horizontal shmup (Progear and Deathsmiles obviously come to mind) as they usually make vertical (or TATE) bullet hell shmups...but here comes Akai Katana! It's the Shin variant from the Xbox 360 release....ported BACK to arcades! What a wild trip it took. Retro gaming can be weird but so can modern gaming! b But it's seriously an awesome shoot em up arcade game well worth your time!
