House of the Gundead’s arcade cabinet uses Sinden Light Guns. However, all that has changed: we have the technology.Ĭan you imagine how good this feels to play?ĭevolver knows it, too. But display problems meant any return of the genre felt unlikely. A brief revival did happen on Wii, but those pointer-based implementations were never quite the same.

Well done, Devolver.īut… Can we get a home port, yeah? Light gun home ports were a staple of gaming in the eighties and nineties - but with the advent of high-definition TVs, which made the light gun technology problematic, they began to die out. New arcade games are relatively rare, and they’re even rarer from anyone but a handful of modern arcade experts like Raw Thrills - so I’ll take it.

It looks pretty good, and hopefully as well as collectors with money to burn it’ll find its way into some arcades and pubs. You can head to the Enter the Gungeon website and even place an order for the cabinet - if you’ve got the cash to spare and enough room for a full-size arcade cabinet with a 43-inch display. House of the Gundead isn’t exactly a new revelation - it was first revealed back in E3 2019 - but this week, Devolver announced they game was ready to ship. Are you really telling me you're not through-the-roof excited to play this?
