Here we have all the games in the Shop Section.
PSP
Action
Hugely successful series in its native Japan and this PSP update utilises everything that has made the game the success it is. The model based robots have never looked so luscious in their cel shaded glory and the ability to run around the main shopping street before popping into battle world keeps the gaming varied. Yet its the combat where this excels to levels to keep the most demanding otaku happy.
Playstation
Rhythm
Far better to practise in the comfort of your own home before unleashing your moves on the arcade groupies. Genki keeps the curtains firmly shut when grooving and gyrating, for now…
Dreamcast
Rhythm
Real bumper Dreamcast Edition featuring the tracks from the original plus the second mix. Its not all cheese though with some real foot tapping, toe twisting tracks.

Time to get deep and funky as those with rhydhm strut their stuff to the likes of M Flo, Tiger Yamato and The Bald Head in this foot tapping compilation of tidy J Beats.
Playstation
Rhythm
M-Flo, DJ FX, DJ Nagureo and The Bald Head amongst others give gamers a dance off worthy of the floors of the Shinjuku white rooms. Fine, foot tapping tunes and spine tingling beats.
Dreamcast
Rhythm
Funky DC exclusive dance title as players shake it on down to the on screen prompts. The beats that must be hit are well synced to the music making for a smooth sequence – especially when sampled through the DDR controller. Well over fifty tracks for dancers to improve their two left feet.
Nintendo 64
Rhythm
Full to Disney colour and razzmatazz as all the old faves get down to some modern and classic tunes to Konami’s proven DDR formula. A nice, exclusive N64 mode to boot.
Sony Hardware
Controller
Dance Summit features some real rip roaring tunes to groove to as you dress up as a Mexican wrestler or Disney style bird to mention but two of the extravagant costumes. The controller comes with a mini version of a PS2 controller (albeit with no dual sticks) and pads which attach to your palms allowing you to really get in the groove whilst cracking out some shapes. Part of the Bust A Move series.
Nintendo DS
Shoot Em Up
Old school shooter but done in the third dimension producing quite stunning results with crisp, colourful pixels on the small screen. Utilises the dual screen and touch function well with a useful radar, but its wireless two player with only one cart that really whisks up a hail of bullets frenzy. Quite rare of late.
Playstation
Sports
Few will forget the gameplay of Daredevil Derby 3D if they sampled it back in the day. Even today the results are impressive as the whole screen rotates to the players turns of their vehicle. And its not just cities that players will race through: most memorable is the cloud level which sees players fly through a path in the clouds as a giant airship avoiding the distractions of the seagulls. Known in the West as Supersonic Racers.
PS Vita
Shoot Em Up
Classic shooter Darius gets a Vita update to get those trigger fingers twitching more than a freshly dispatched robotic cat fish boss. The darkness of deep space contrasts beautifully against the ships pyrotechnics as blast after blast illuminates the screen well suited to horizontal shooters. And of course the multi route selection remains adding plenty of replay value to those who can stick at it like a limpet.
PS4
Shoot Em Up
Classic shooter Darius gets a PS4 version having proved popular on the PCVita to get those trigger fingers twitching more than a freshly dispatched robotic cat fish boss. The darkness of deep space contrasts beautifully against the ships pyrotechnics as blast after blast illuminates the action beautifully. And of course the multi route selection remains adding plenty of replay value to those who can stick at it like a limpet.

PS4
Shoot Em Up
Based on G Darius and Darius Burst, Taito takes its famed 2D shooter past the kicking and screaming fans and into the third dimension. The hardware is more than capable, but the mindset many need more manipulation. Yet this is no hardware demonstration gimmick: Taito knows how to make an STG and none of the recipe has been skimped on for the sake of a graphical show boat. The Darius fish never looked so fluid.

Sega Saturn
Shoot Em Up
Shooters are where the Saturn far excelled itself and Darius is thankfully no exception. A very unique feel. The robotic cat fish is a Genki favourite.
Mega Drive
Shoot Em Up
Solid conversion of the eternal shmup with some clever parallax. Whilst mutiple routes mean there are only seven levels to get through, the replay value is massive with twenty eight levels to savour. There must have been some catfish in the Taito office at the time judging by all the aquatic themed and highly imaginative enemies you need to take down.

Super Famicom
Shoot Em Up
Solid conversion of the coin – op with all the wonders of the seven seas contained in its mechanical marina. Darius shows why it has remained a classic shmup from the Taito stable of thoroughbreds.

Super Famicom

Spooky, gothic RPG for old hands Enix in which merely moving through the play area drains your health so you must kill to keep up your soul meter and stay alive. Playable as knight or devil with separate routes adding to the longevity, as does the masses of hidden areas. Oozes atmosphere.
Famicom Cart
Action
RPG elements in the way the mystic, spiritual world is explored inter-spliced with side scrolling boss levels where the demon must be levelled by the sword. Known in Japan as Ankoku Shinwa.
