Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 New Famicom homebrew for sale in May. A bullet-hell single screen arcade game. You are an astronaut ninja at the bottom of the screen with an insane amount of enemies firing at you from above, while you constantly returning fire. Even though this is not a scrolling SHMUP, I think those fans will feel right at home. It looks wild and awesome at the same time. Checkout the video.

Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 @dockvalentine @JamesRobot @Gloves you can use a proxy service, I have no experience with them though. However, those services give you a Japan address to ship the package to and once it arrives, they will ship it to you anywhere in the world (sure there are limitation on that).

dale_coop | 162 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Haha Yeah, of course, if I had the money, I'd take it (but sadly, my wallet is not deep, and so many great new games every months). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dale_coop | 162 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Currently... Project Blue! (but... also backed Trophy, Orange Island, and a few other that I can't wait to play, of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,722 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) @neodolphino : you planning to get any of those goodies? I'm trying to think of a way myself, though it's frustrating since the places I can sell and then mail items to online has been restricted basically to my least successful region, USA and Canada, and that's how is generally fund my online purchases, via selling some extra games Edited April 27, 2020 by fcgamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller | 495 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I'm starting to ask around and see if anyone has a buyer they already use in Japan. Seems like I know enough famicom collectors that talk about having people ship them stuff that there has to be someone in the community who would ship these to the states. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone the proxy route before, but it's a hassle, it'd be better if we could find a common source that would be willing to help. It actually seems a bit ridiculous, as a lot of Taiwanese have friends in Japan, but I haven't found anything from my local connections either. I'll definitely be looking into this more, and if I can find some help, I'll pass it on, either from Japan to everyone directly, or from Japan to me to you guys. For community members, I never take commission on stuff like this, helping each other is imo the best part of the hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMR | 519 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 My proxy is ebay. That said, it would be cool if someone could get the rights to resell it over here, or just get a bulk order sent to the states for redistribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erockbrox | 33 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Couldn't they sell the rom digitally. This way anyone can get it and play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
