It’s no secret that arcade shooters have been in decline for as long as… well, for as long as the arcades that have housed them. Even after a brief renaissance with the likes of Ikaruga, Border Down, and an endless string of games from Cave, it’s a niche that has gotten smaller and smaller, even as other retro genres like 2D platformers have gained momentum.
10 years after launch, Grasshopper Manufacture's Sine Mora remains one of the finest shoot-'em-up games in recent memory.

Destroy all Humans was $2 at one point... this is by far the cheapest month so far. Sine Mora, Shantae? WTF
I guess they are using it to fund all the money they losing on Game Pass from $1 subs.
Why would they even try giving away decent games when they can have their customers pay for them with GP?
Do you think it's possible XBL will include GamePass in the future and just drop the free games?
I'm talking about them dropping free games and providing GP at the same cost as XBL. $15/month is too much for lots of ppl imo
april was pretty good with Project Cars 2 and Fable Anniversary, but the rest this year haven’t been great. But, mind you, you do get 4 games every month as opposed to PsPlus scaling back to 2 games a month so 🤷
A good game is timeless, but these games just won't go away.
I've beaten it on GC, PS2, PC, Wii, Xbox One... Probably in my top five favorite games.
Donkey Kong, Street Fighter 2, Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy IV, Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Rayman 2, Pac-Man, Ms Pac-Man have all been rereleased at least a dozen times on different platforms.
Rather get news of a new Elser Scrolls then all this re-releasing of Skyrim. Curious to see how many people actually get it on Switch.
FFVII and Minecraft should be there too. Tetris and Monopoly is also makes regular reappearances.
FF7's nowhere near as bad as RE4.
FF7: PS1, PS4, PC, iOS, Android
RE4: Gamecube, Wii, PS2, PS3, PS4, PC, X360, X1, iOS, Android
