Yes! Technosoft’s back, bitches! The classic Thunder Force series now gets its sixth sequel after such a long hiatus composed of scattered fanshit and eons and millenia of withdrawal seizures. No, it’s for real this time around, so calm down for fuck’s sake. It’s not even under the codename Broken Thunder so stop thinking about that shit game. The only things good in that one were the ship designs and the OP movie, nothing else.

But really, Technosoft, WHAT TOOK YOU SO DAMN FUCKING LONG?!

The game is to be released in Japan this coming October 30th, with PS2 as the console of choice. Pretty good choice considering it’s still better compared to the now humbled down PS3. Besides, I think they’re been trying to work this out in secret, which took them long enough maybe because of lack of funds.

Also, the game’s surprisingly at a whole new scale. Talk about multidimensional scenarios, new weapons, new looks, and new bosses! Nah, it’s actually the same kind of still uber kewl shit, really, as what you can expect of Tehcnosoft. The only things that did change are:

1. Claws are reduced to just two instead of the usual three.
2. Normal and Overweapon form changes, like Wave’s normal form, and Hunter’s Overweapon form.
3. Lesser bullets, since Twin Shot doesn’t look that powerful anymore.
4. Ship absorbs some kind of green “soul” from destroyed enemies.
5. And I see no shields, too.
