  • Batsugun is a 1993 vertically scrolling bullet hell arcade video game originally developed and published by Toaplan in Japan and Europe by Taito, as well as Korea by Unite Trading. The last shoot 'em up created by Toaplan, the title takes place on a distant Earth-like planet where a global takeover operative led by king Renoselva A. Gladebaran VII is set into motion, as players assume the role from one of the six fighter pilots conforming the Skull Hornets squadron taking control of submersible jets in a last-ditch effort to overthrow the invading military force from the planet. Its gameplay mainly consists of shooting mixed with role-playing game-esque elements using a main two-button configuration. Headed by Fire Shark designer Yuko Tataka, Batsugun was created by most of the same team that previously worked on several projects at Toaplan and who would later go on to join one of its offshoots after the company declared bankruptcy in 1994 to continue working in the bullet hell sub-genre. Though first launched for the arcades, the game was later ported to the Sega Saturn by Gazelle and published exclusively in Japan by Banpresto on 25 October 1996, featuring various changes and additions compared with the original version. Batsugun garnered positive reception from during its initial release in arcades and but was later met with mixed critical reception on the Saturn as an import title. Nevertheless, the game garnered awards from Gamest magazine. It has been heralded by many as the first manic shooter due to its evolution of various gameplay features in the shoot 'em up genre and as an inspiration for other similar titles. As of 2019, the rights to the project are owned by Tatsujin, a company founded in 2017 by former Toaplan member Masahiro Yuge and now-subsidiary of Swedish video game and media holding company, Embracer Group, alongside many other Toaplan IPs.

  • Batsugun (バツグン) est un shoot 'em up à scroling vertical conçu par le développeur japonais Toaplan. Sorti à l'origine en Arcade Batsugun a reçu deux versions—celle d'origine étant sortie en 1993. La suivante nommée Batsugun Special Version a été présenté lors du salon AOU en 1994 au Japon mais n'est jamais sorti officiellement en raison de la banqueroute de la société Toaplan. Ces deux versions ont été compilées dans une conversion sur Sega Saturn en 1996 et réalisée par un des rejetons de Toaplan : Gazelle. Considéré par certains comme le premier"manic shooter", Batsugun a été développé par des personnes qui fonderont plus tard Cave et continueront de faire des jeux dans le même style. Batsugun a été le lieu de modifications importantes dans les codes du shoot 'em notamment au niveau des motifs des tirs ennemis plus fournis et recherchés qu'à l'accoutumé. Mais aussi dans les collisions plus permissives, en particulier dans la Special Version (fr)
