Cool. I imported the 2nd one on the Gamecube and loved it, never played this one though

Weren't the Shikigami no Shiro games PC games (or on PC-derived arcade hardware) originally anyway? Seems like an obvious choice. Now let's hope the...er, "localization" is "up to scratch".

I tried to run my old copy of Shiki 1 on Windows 10 recently and it failed.

The first game is pretty garish, but I have a certain nostalgia for it - the first shmup along with Ikaruga I've ever gotten into, played it in my first own apartment on a shitty Hori arcade stick.

I've always liked the "get close to bullets for score multiplier" mechanic. Not the deepest system in the world, but intuitive and with lots of room for experimentation.

Don't know if I would pay more than 10€ for a re-release, though. The Cave games or Crimzon Clover have a ton more polish and way better pacing.

Still, a unique and interesting series. I can't imagine they would not release 2 and 3 as well, which are vast improvements if I remember.

I'm hoping 2 and 3 come as well
