shienryu coming to PSN tomarrow

I am thinking its going to be part of the import ps1 store selections from monkey paw games since its called shienryu and not gekioh shooting team or whatever.

I have never played either version, is the ps1 port worth while? specifically the japanese ps1 port.

I do love me some shmups and I like supporting monkey paw games as they are doing me a great service with this import game store, but if its a really flawed port I probably won't bother. I have a saturn and always enjoy new games for that

The Japanese Playstation version is the only port I haven't played. Can't be of any help here. Although, i'm almost positive that release includes a tate option like the Saturn port includes. I don't think Gekioh shooting king had tate.

The game is kind of bland, and has mean rank. I guess there is a novelty factor to the graphics though...they look very 1993/1994....but the game is an ST-V release from 95. Call me crazy, but I get a kick out of that.

I love Shienryu. It's got a beautiful art style, albeit a little bland.

Solid, no frills shooting and kick ass music. Saturn port is better than the ps1 IMO but the ps1 port is fine.

best thing from Warashi since Daioh!

No Tate/ saving in any PS1 port of Shienryu... Sucks balls!

The double Shienryu ( Shienryu 1 and 2) was released in Japan on PS2 and in PAL land as Steel Dragon EX. Shit ports again with no tate and no saving scores if I remember correctly.

I played this recently. Screw Shienryu.....this game is three years older, looks just as good, and has fucking awesome music. Shienryu is a step back.
