VGNYsoft announced a new retro game release coming up for pre-order this week, as Strumwind will be released for the SEGA Dreamcast. To be clear, this is the original version of the game, not the EX version currently out on the market for Nintendo Switch, as they take you all the way back to 2013. As you can see from the images here, they will have a Standard Edition, which is just the game on a disc inside a case with a booklet (like you used to get with games from this era); and a Limited Edition, which includes a special box, a VMU Shell, and a black D-Pad. The latter of the two will only make 500 copies. We have more info on it below as pre-orders go up on May 15, 2024.

Sturmwind

Sturmwind is a classic shmup for the Sega Dreamcast. Not only is the gameplay top of the line but Sturmwind manages to push the boundaries as to how great a Dreamcast should look like. You'll face hordes of countless cosmic and Lovecraftian horrors during your mission for liberation and survival. Blast your way through sixteen eye-popping stages filled with enormous bosses and hundreds of enemies on your quest to rediscover mankind's ancestral home world. Sturmwind is an homage to the good old days of the arcade shmups. You're needed to defend the home world from interdimensional, Lovecraftian horrors, so strap in and get ready for launch pilot!
