Shmup Month Ends
It’s a sad, sad day as Shmup Month finally draws to a close. However, the great news is that a winner has been announced in the Shmuppreciation Month tournament. To find out who won (maybe it was you), head on over to ShmupMonth.com.
Amazingly, the prize is even better than originally advertised as not only does it include a “Play it Cool” Saturn and a copy of DoDonPachi, but also three bonus games provided by Carlson at Mad-Gear.com. How cool is that?
A special word of thanks goes out to MC Wilson, the guy who not only started Shmuppreciation Month, but also put together the contest, provided the prize, and created a way for multiple gaming communities to come together and celebrate what is currently one of the most overlooked genres in games. We raise our drinks to you, good sir!
But remember, just because March is over doesn’t mean you should stop shmuppreciating. Please support these games and the small, niche developers that put them out throughout the year. The more you vote with your wallets, the better the chances are of getting localized versions of DoDonPachi Black Label, Raiden IV, Otomedius Gorgeous, and more.
Support our shmups!

I’m happy to win! Ironically, I was lamenting this morning the fact that I didn’t purchase a Saturn at MGC. Glad I didn’t considering the news. I now have more reason to spend at ton of money in Carlson’s area next MGC. Better start saving now as there are so many great Saturn shmups for me to catch up on.

Congrats Fivespot! Nice job, man!
I failed hard at shmuppreciating this year. Simply too much going on and no time. Maybe next year.
