2024 - Titles I'm looking forward to.
List of titles I'm looking forward to in 2024.
Titles not listed on IGDB:
โ Cotton Fantasy 2 [STG - Horizontal; 2.5D] (announced)
โ Eden's Eclipse [STG - Vertical; 2D] (Doujin game; Windows; no release date yet) (Demo available via Itch.io) ๐ Itch.io Page
โ Final Formation [STG] (Windows PC, Switch) ๐ Announced
โ I Got Isekai'd Into a Shmup [STG] (Windows PC) (not listed on IGDB, but will be added soon; demo released on Steam)
โ P-47 II MD [STG - Horizontal] (Genesis/Mega Drive (โ๏ธ)) ๐ Announced
โ RUSHING BEAT X: Return of Brawl Brothers [ACT - Beat 'em Up; 2D] (announced)
Titles may move to my 2025 list:
Kunitsu-gami: Path of the Goddess (Release date announced)
โ Phantom Blade 0
Slitherhead (Release date announced
โ Tomb Raider (tentative title)
โ The Witcher (tentative title)
โ Untitled Doujin Shmup (tentative title)
Notes:
โ I removed the game, 8, as it was released last year. I originally thought it was a 2024 release, but it wasn't.
โ I also corrected the info about the PC and Switch ports of Triggerheart Exelica. I really wish the PS2 version's features included, but they didn't implement it.
