Bullet Haven #242 - Rapid-Fire Revisits Vol.1 (Switch)

It's not at all uncommon for us to receive games we've already reviewed that have been released on other platforms. With so many high-calibur shooting games hitting the switch, it was inevitable that we'd be playing very similar games to what we've already rated. So in this episode of Bullet Heaven, we're taking a brief look at four switch shooters and whether they're the same or warrant a revision to the score on the switch!

Bullet Heaven #241 - TITLE UNKNOWN

We love a good doujin game here on Bullet Heaven but so many of them are doomed to obscurity... unless obscurity is the main draw. And we might have found, hands down, the single most obscure shmup of all time... and Platine Dispositif is behind it all. So how does this mysterious game stack up?

Bullet Heaven #238 - 70's Robot Anime Geppy-X (PSX)

In all of shooting games, there's no other game out there that delivers the authentic 70's anime experience like Geppy-X does. This obscure Japan-only horizontal scrolling shooter from Aroma is gauranteed to be unlike any shooting game players have ever experienced before or since. But, HOW does it do this? Why 4 discs!? And just how does it stack up??

Bullet Heaven Unboxes - Earth Atlantis Limited Edition

In an effort to bring you all even more content without YouTube "forgetting" to let you all know, we've re-branded Mudprints Unboxes into the all-new but still-the-same Bullet Heaven Unboxes! More shmups, more content, more macro, all great! 

Earth Atlantis may not have been as engaging as wewould have liked and the revaltion of its licensed music is a bit of a bummer, but the Playstation 4 Limited Edition from EastAsiaSoft has something fantastic that adds all kinds of eye-opening extras that give it way more personality. So what's inside?
