It’s been a crazy week for news if you’re a fan of classic arcade shmups. The cutesy Cotton is getting re-made, The Strikers series is getting a new entry, and now M2 has announced that Cave shooter ESP Ra. De. will be coming to PS4 and Nintendo Switch in Japan later this year.
Speaking in an interview with Denfaminico Gamer, M2 revealed that the frantic 1998 bullet-hell title would be the first title in the “M2 ShotTriggers” series to be released on the Nintendo platform (all previous re-releases have been available on PS4, with a mere couple also appearing on Xbox One). This will also be the first time ESP Ra. De. will have been made available outside of arcades.
