These are incredible news. They have done it with Psikyo on the Switch, and it is golden. Toaplan shmups were the Ferraris and Lambos of the industry at the time, and they are still among the all time classics. Some of the best games ever made. In fact, Toaplan was such a monster when it comes to mastermind developers, it basically felt like a monopoly of talent, and they had to break it. The result was Takumi, Gazelle, Razing, 8ing, Tamsoft, and CAVE. That's right, the people behind Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, Giga Wing, Air Gallet, Mars Matrix, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, Hyperdimension Neptunia, Onechambara, DoDonPachi, Mushihimesama, Espgaluda, Deathsmiles, and Senran Kagura are all people that worked on Truxton. That's how prime those Toaplan games were, they were the Street Fighter II of shmups at the time, best of all time, and jewel relics of priceless shmup awesomeness. Hopefully it is just not a tease because this would be majestic:

This sounds like it will be a collection then?

This sounds like it will be a collection then? Actually I was just assuming that, but if they release them individually I would love it too. I bought the Psikyo games individually for the Switch as well, even Gunbarich, and I actually prefer that because you can have a cover for each. Honestly the Psikyo games are outstanding even on a tablet. I have those versions too, and they play flawlessly there. The platform is surprisingly good for the genre. Having Toaplan games on modern consoles is a dream, and it may open the opportunity to come to tablets too, and most likely PC platforms like Steam, which means they will be widely available for the general public, and that can only be a good thing. What makes me even more happy is that the wizards at M2 are handling it. They always do a great job when it comes to emulation, so the project is in the right hands. The classic gaming community couldn't have better news, this is remarkable.

I would be interested in this for sure.
And on the Psikyo front, it would be nice if an agreement can be made with Capcom to rerelease Cannon Spike.

Every time I play against Baby Bonnie Hood in Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, it reminds me of how much I wish they would release it.

I am a bit excited about seeing the future list. I am not a shoot-'em-up fan, but this sounds awesome!
