In disc releases, certainly, but not in gaming as a whole.

It just seems apparent to me that you're either indifferent to NA shmup releases, or just burned out on the genre. We've had just a tiny handful of North American releases in this genre, in this console generation. Having another one scheduled to come out, and one this fantastic, is something to celebrate, not minimize.

In other words, you may have bought a lot of shmups on multiple platforms, but more often than not I see you here complaining about paying a higher price for games like Dodonpachi Resurrection and Akai Katana, and watching the prices of those games drop, thereby causing you to be apathetic about the whole genre. If I didn't know better, I'd think you're just burned out on the whole thing, and I'm sure others may feel the same way. Thats fine for you, but many of us prefer to support these rare retail releases in any way we can, and encourage future ones.
