WHAT !! I'm only 45. Well . . . that might be an exaggeration 🤔

@@kennyrh9269 yeah the commenter is 5-15 years old.

Wish I was 🤣🤣

I think we all are.

Thanks Jay. It's in my DNA and nothing can compete with that 😀

I’m the same, by then though we’ll be on the ps10 or something, it’s extremely unlikely there will still be physical games and ps5 will be super retro like NES is now 😂

@@Dessan01 Well I think you'll be in a virtual reality scenario by then. No consoles and everything streaming (or the future equivalent). On the upside your decrepit retro stuff will be worth a few bob 😉😁

@@Dessan01 right… game room tours would consist of people showing games on their digital catalog lol.

You're very welcome. That's why I do these videos . . .for people like yourself 👍👍

dodonpachi dai ou jou is getting a Japanese physical edition this december. don't miss out

@@ian.swift.31614 Aaaaah! Mushihimesamaaaa ! I ordered my Dodonpachi Daioujou, it's supposed to arrive tomorrow. I can't wait. Love the video Kenny!~ Shmup on ♥!

Well I was 34 when I started gaming. A lot of people are stopping at that age. I've never let my age affect what I do.👍

Well, as I always tell people, there's no age limit on anything. I still read comics and why not. I think maybe I should change my user name to yours 🤣🤣. Anyway glad you liked this and thanks for the sub 👍

@@kennyrh9269 You're welcome for the sub, Have a good day!

​@@kennyrh9269: That's the spirit! Age has nothing to do with hobbies and should never be a limit! I'll always be a big nerd and I'll never deny myself the enjoyment of my hobbies!

@@InfiniteGameReviews Just think of yourself as still being a teenager. I might be 75 but my mental age is about 13 😂😂

@@kennyrh9269 : Yes, age is just a number. We won't stop being nerdy just because we add a few years to the total. Games and nerdiness overall makes life better! Have a good gaming time!

Thanks very much. Shmups have been a passion of mine since 1984. 😮

Thanks very much. Yeah my family set traps for me hoping that I'll croak soon. But I'm too smart for 'em 💪

That's what I tell everybody 👴👴

@@kennyrh9269 top man Kenny Big inspiration 👏 shumps I've not seen on the switch great collection

@@kraftye Thanks very much. My channel was set up to keep people informed about collecting in general so it's nice to get some appreciation 👍👍

Thanks very much Christopher. Good to have you on board and I'll try fulfill your expectations 👍

Thanks very much. Respect to your father, just hope I'm still active in 5 years time 👍👍

Thanks. Well, there are not many bad shmups on Switch so you should be okay 😂👍

I can well believe it. When I got into video arcades in 1984 shmups became my immediate passion. Still are . . .👌👌

Thanks for the visit. My wife doesn't think I'm awesome, she thinks I'm mad 😂😂

@@kennyrh9269 haha isn’t that the way marriage goes? My spouse doesn’t get me most of the times either 😝 well it looks like you got a lot of people on here that also think you’re awesome 🤩 keep it up and keep doing you!

With a bit of perseverance. Go for it 👍👍

Thanks very much. Hope you get them 👌👍

Hi, thanks very much. Still a way to go but I'm working hard at it 😇

@@kennyrh9269 Keep it up, you've got this 💪

Very kind of you to say so. My missus probably wouldn't agree 🤣🤣

Welcome to the channel. To be honest I find it ageist and offensive when I hear people spouting their uninformed opinions about games being for kids. I love games, comics, nerf guns . . .you name it. In fact I run this channel to try and educate and inform. In my mind I'm still a 12-year-old kid 😊

Thanks very much. My mission is to entertain, educate and promote collecting 👍

@@kennyrh9269 Well safe to say you are absolutely fulfilling your mission.

@@toadfan5 I try 😁

Thanks. Ah Xevious that's a good old classic. Forget my first arcade shmup but I used to play Star Force a lot in 1984.

Strangely enough I'm into my 40th year of gaming also although I was 35 when I started. Keep it up 👍👍

They would if I had any 😂

Well unfortunately it's an expensive rabbit hole to go down. I decided to concentrate on Switch shmups because, firstly, you can play 'em on the go and, secondly, because of the flood of shmups on digital in the shape of Arcade Archives. Thirdly, I love the cute little boxes that take up little space on my shelves.

@@kennyrh9269 yeah Switch cases do look pretty sweet.

Hi there. Glad to have you on board. Yes, if you like shmups then the Switch is an absolute must. Apart from physical titles there are a mountain of digital downloads. Get the new version though because the bigger screen makes a huge difference 👌👌

Thanks Jordan. Yes Switch is the shmuppers system of choice these days.

@kennyrh9269 - Yes. Best shoot-em-up console since the TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine! I'd love the Switch to get the PS5-exclusive, R-Type Final 3: Evolved, though 👍

Yes. The best Cotton game by far.

I fought in the Vietnam War, The Falklands and Afghanistan. Well . . .in video gamew anyway 😂

Thank you kindly!

Glad you liked the vid. Switch is an amazing console for shmups. Apart from the excellent physicals there are a whole bunch of digital arcade classics. Of course the problem with the physical games is that many of them are Japanese only plus low-run games from Limited Edition and other less well-known publishers. Adds to the desirability I suppose. Anyway good luck with your collecting and look out for my other shmup vids on the channel.

Yes, it's a shame but I normally buy from UK based sellers. Bit more expensive maybe but you don't know what the postage + import fees are gonna be from US. Luckily I only collect Switch shmups so a bit less hassle.

Yes, Mushihimesama is one of my favourite shmups so I was pleased to get that. They are quite scarce in the UK so I was really pleased to pick up the Espgaluda II one as well. There is one other - Dodonpachi Resurrection but I've not seen one of those outside of the US yet.

@@kennyrh9269 I'm from the Netherlands and haven't seen them anywhere. I guess the only thing for me to do is import it from somewhere.

@@OneTheAndOnlyOne Well it originated in the US so that would be your best bet. Postage might be a problem though.

Hi jamie. Yes I found the Drainus physical quite reasonable last time I checked. Shmup Collection is one of those that seems to be coming more and more scarce.

Welcome on board. Collecting is my religion especially shmups

Thanks very much. Agreed . . .you can't beat a good shmup. Always been my favourite genre since the early 1980s. 🔫🔫

I don't think my elderly gameplay would make very good viewing 🤣. Tate is essential in my opinion and I bought a decent rotatable monitor to do the job. 1ccs are tricky.

@@kennyrh9269 I think you'd make a killing on twitch, seriously! 100% sure everyone would love to see something/someone different! Great video btw :) I enjoyed it!

@@Kaelidoz To be honest I'm not a social media fan. KZfaq is about all I can manage 🤯

@@kennyrh9269 Haha I don't blame you, I couldn't stream either 😁. By the way I posted this video on the switch subreddit yesterday. It gathered only a few upvotes there but it looks like it had a positive effect on the views and comments :). If you don't mind me sharing your videos I might do it again and post in r/destiny , r/schmups etc. High five from Belgium 🤙

@@Kaelidoz Thanks very much. I appreciate anyone sharing my videos because I don't do any self promotion at all. Yes the number of views on this one have been crazy compared to my recent stuff but these have been for a more specialized audience. So please keep sharing and tell all your friends 👍👍

Thanks and you're very welcome. Just believe and persevere my friend . . .you'll get there👍👍

Thanks very much - us old codgers must stick together. I'm thinking of changing my youtube name to Jerry Attrick. What do you think 🤣🤣

@@kennyrh9269 that would be a great name 😂

Thanks very much. Glad to hear you have a good collection and I would like to see a video from you 👍

Alright ill let you know when i post one. You got it

Hi there. I will give you the advice I give everybody in this situation. I've made a life's work of not giving a toss what other people think. Age, gender, religion are no barrier to doing what you want to do. If other people have a problem with it that's THEIR problem not yours.Would your critics have you sitting in the pub all day drinking your money away when you can have a hobby with physical stuff that will last. Don't fall into that trap of thinking that YOU'RE in the wrong. The first thing I did when I bought a Switch was make the flipgrip my second purchase. Absolutely essential if, like me, you prefer vertical shmups. Hope that helps.

Hello Denmark. Pleased to hear from you.

Sorry about the delay in replying but I've been away from youtube for a while. Thanks and good to hear from you

Sorry about the delay in replying but I've been away from youtube for a while. Glad we're in sync 😊

Thanks for visiting

Thanks . . . so do I 🤣🤣🤣

Welcome to the channel -- retro ghetto is my PR man 😊 Yes, love that Mushihimesama arcade. They are doing two for Espgaluda II and Dodonpachi Ressurection. Been trying to source them on ebay but they have not been released yet 😣 Have you seen all the digital-only shmups on eshop? Impressive 👍👍

Good to hear from France. Thanks very much 👍👍

Thanks very much.

If you bring up my channel and click on videos you'll find most of my collection. I'm running out of things to show 😁

@@kennyrh9269 I actually found them Kenny after I commented. Love the PS3 special edition one. Need that Rayman Origins one in my life. Amazing.

@@Dottin PS3 Special Editions used to be my passion so I picked up some really nice stuff 👌

Spot on mate. Does it really show 😅

I've got even more now. Vid coming soon.

Glad you liked it - lots of other shmup videos on the channel.

Mmmmm . . .I think I am more of an awesome collector 😂😂

Glad you found me. Yes games are for everyone - even old farts like me 😂😂

I'm in danger of being called a dirty old man. More old than dirty methinks 😁

I'm sure he's bought himself a copy of Caladrius Blaze too in the time since this video was created

@@ian.swift.31614 You know me so well 😁

Hi there, nice to hear from an older gamer. Okay shmups . . .you should stay away from bullet hell ones. Best place to start would be an obscure game called Horgihugh and Friends which you can buy cheaply on Amazon. Or if you fancy a vertical shmup then Raiden IV Mikado Remix is not too brutal, again cheap on Amazon. Hope that helps.

Hi there. Well, I don't have any "mates" as such because I have no common ground with folks my age. Of course it works both ways. In my mind I'm still that 12-year-old who loves to collect stuff and, accordingly, I still look at my hobby through a child's eyes. Your Dad didn't - it's as simple as that.

Thanks very much. Shmups have been a great passion of mine since I bought my first console in 1984. The Switch is rapidly becoming the best shmup platform of all time and great to collect for.

Sorry about the delay in replying but I'm semi-retired from youtube now (that is retired but thinking about becoming un-retired 😄) Must say it's great to hear from a female shmupper outside the normal demographic of gamers age-wise. May I give you the same advice as I have given many collectors and gamers over the years. If people find it strange that you still are involved with an activity "normally" undertaken by younger people then that is THEIR problem not yours. Coincidentally I just picked up Jamestown on physical. Never cared for Radiant Silvergun so haven't picked that up yet. Ikaruga I just can't get the hang of at all. The shmup in the silver box is pretty obscure. It's called Kyogeki Quartet Fighter (more commonly known as Quad Fighter K) Yes the Flip Grip is an absolutely essential peripheral for Switch shmups . . .shame it's not more readily available in the UK. Anyway, nice to hear from you and keep shmupping 👍👍

I used to collect stamps when I was a kid and I'm still a child in my own head. I've been a shmup lover since 1984 when we used to have loads of video arcades. Still love 'em 🛸

Hi Peter. Yes, few of my favourites on that list too. Mushi, Crimson Clover, Deathsmiles. Of course that's what makes the Switch such a great shmups console - the mass of shmups on Eshop. The Sega Saturn was always considered THE machine for shmups but Switch outpaces it by miles.

@@kennyrh9269 Yeah, I had a Saturn but wasn't into shmups back then. I wish I had held onto that console

@@petewatson8074 I have a Japanese Saturn but the prices of some of the games are truly eye-watering. Of course the PC Engine/Turbo Duo was quite the shmupping console but likewise the prices 😲

Dodonpachi is not on switch...yet. You must mean Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu which is a different game my friend.

@@ian.swift.31614 Yes I do. I know the decent Dodonpachi is coming in December. I just don't like the amount of auto bombs given on daifukatsu coupled with not even knowing when you get hit sometimes due to the amount going on on screen. It almost makes you stop caring about getting hit and cheapens the experience.

Sorry about the delay in replying but I've been away from youtube for a while very much. Nice to hear from you.

Thanks. Yes age is no barrier to anything and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. 👍

Thank you 👍

Thanks very much. Never been called that before 😊

my cat is a big fan of everything that I'm busy with 🐱. Yes that arcade peripheral is something else. Limited Games are doing one for Espgaluda 2 and Dodonpachi Resurrection. Can't wait. 🤗

Thanks man. Will do 👍

No I only have a digital download. Limited Run have the physical up for preorder so will be picking that up at some point.

Hello Ross, glad you found me. I guess most of the good shmups on PS4 are from Japan. I only have a handful although I did pick up a nice Collectors Edition of Senko Ronde 2 recently 👌

Thanks very much. Yes, I could play shmups all day too. . .all week . . .all month 😂

Yes, I love that one, also Mushi is one of my favourite games. Actually Limited Run games have taken preorders for a cab for Dodonpachi Resurrection and Espgaluda 2. They are long overdue but I'll be jumping on them when and if they come out.

@@kennyrh9269 Yeah I have a switch but don't have quite the collection of SHMUPS you have. I do play Crimzon Clover World Explosion quite a bit and I love revisiting some of the retro games like RType and Flying Shark.

Hi Adam. The Bullet Soul Double Pack is on my radar at Playasia. I have a digital copy of Espgaluda 2 but I'm wanting the Limited Run edition with the mini arcade cabinet. Eschatos I have a digital copy on PS5 but I've not seen the Switch physical lately. Thanks for the compliment about the video - one of my most popular for a while.

I'm a big fan of the Raiden series my favourite being 2. What do you think of the Mikado Remix in general? I see there's a remix of 3 in June 👌

Hi Adam. Thanks for the sub, hope you enjoy the channel. Shmups are one of my major passions so look for more vids on the subject 👌

Thanks very much. Welcome aboard

Will do Quentin. I'm a runaway train 😁

Cotton Fantasy is fantastic - one of the best horizontal shmups on the Switch. Sine Mora I'm not keen on so much although the graphics are good and it's a nice budget price. Sadly Parodius isn't out for the Switch but I would imagine it will turn up eventually . . .maybe in a compilation.

I personally don't like Sine Mora's story, because there are FURRYs who talks about genocide and mass rapes. It's really weird.

Many thanks. Just got better, see next vid 👌

Thanks very much. Fellow shmuppers always welcomed 👍👍

Thank you very much! More shmup videos to come and greetings to Mexico 🇲🇽

Thanks very much. Welcome on board.

Cat's always there mate. Reflexes commensurate with age . . .on the edge of senility. Still hangin' in there so can't be all bad 😛😛

Ah . . .Mushi, one of my favourites of all time. Must try and find the Collectors Edition that goes with that arcade peripheral because I don't have a physical copy. Haven't picked up Crimson Clover WE on digital yet because I've been awaiting a physical. Not familiar with First Press, must check 'em out.

@@kennyrh9269 proceed with caution I've been waiting for ages

@@SalvationInChristAlone Can't be much worse than Limited Run mate. Can't be ar$ed with 'em.

@@kennyrh9269 Well I Pre-Ordered Crimzon Clover World Explosion on September 10th 2021 and I've still not received it. They are notoriously Slow.

@@SalvationInChristAlone Good grief !! Have you not lost hope ?

Well let's hope that is quite a few years hence 😂👍

Thanks Ivan. My wife and daughter don't think I'm cool. They think I'm a nutcase 😲😲

It's up for preorder at Playasia. Will be getting it for sure👍

I feel your pain and agree that it is a bind having to go to Limited Run Games and Playasia. I try to buy my import stuff from UK sellers wherever possible. Dezatopia looks interesting but I'm not too fussed about Graze Counter which I have on Steam.

Thanks for visiting and welcome 👍👍
