Nep-Nep is back, now in shmup form, with Neptunia Shooter

Neeeep, Ne-Nep, Ne-Nep, Ne-Nep, Nep, Nep

A great man (Occams) once told me the best games are the ones you didn’t know you wanted until someone made them… It was something like that. I think. Anyway, I experienced the embodiment of that theory this morning, when I learned that the Hyperdimension Neptunia universe is b෴eing adapted into a retro-styled shmup!

From developer Preapp and Idea Factory International, the terribly titled Neptunia Shooter will see Nep-Nep herself dive into the outer reac🙈hes of space and time, battling through six 8-bit inspired stages and facing off against other goddesses in classic horizontally-scrolling shmup action. Defeating each boss will add them to your squad, allowing players to switch between Nep and friends at will for further inter-dimensional warfare.

Little more has been revealed about the title, but we know it will launch sometime this year on Steam with English and Japanese dialogue options. ♕Looks like it could be a grඣeat coffee-break title for Nep fans.
