The Greatest NES Shoot Em’ Up?! Recca Summer Carnival Review w/ Shmup Junkie!

The Greatest NES Shoot Em’ Up?! Recca Summer Carnival Review w/ Shmup Junkie! Today I am joined by special guest @Shmup Junkie to discuss possibly the greatest (and most expensive) NES Shoot Em’ Up (shmup), Recca! Recca Summer Carnival was created by the famous Shinobu Yagawa who is the genius behind some of the greatest shmups of all time like Battle Garegga and Armed Police Batrider. In this review we discuss Recca’s history, game design, hardware design and limitations, level design, boss design, caravan mode, difficulty, graphics, rank, music, and much more! If you are a fan of Cave and Raizing, as well as old school shmups and classic caravan, this is truly worth checking out. As of right now I believe the game is only on NES, emulator, or 3DS, so it would be great to see it make it’s way to modern consoles like the Switch, Playstation, and Xbox!
