FTA:

Originally released in arcades back in 1992, the game was developed by the Zed Blade and P47: The Phantom Fighter developer NMK, with Banpresto (a subsidiary of Bandai) handling its distribution in Japan while Fabtek did the same for the North American region.

The game is based on the 1984 film Macross: Do You Remember Love? and sees players take control of the fighters Hikaru Ichijyo (player one) and Max Jenius (player two) as they pilot the variable fighter Valkyrie to defeat an invasion from the Zentradi race.

oh wow, this is great! i am a macross/robotech fan but didn't know there was a shmup! i also didn't know about that particular movie.

i wonder if this will have the gadget treatment like m2 ports or if it'll just be an emulation thing. also curious if there will be a north american release (with physical media).
