They published Metal Max and Glory of Heracles so they're great.

What Taito franchise is awebayrayded?

>>12415531
Congo's Caper and Side pocket were popular in my country and I don't think I ever played a Taito game desu

>>12415531
I like them both and think both are underrated actually
The thing with Data East is they don't really have those iconic well known games, they needed a more universally appealing mascot than Karnov

>>12415549
Arkanoid and the Bubble Bobble games

>>12415531

I really liked "Dragon Ninja"

Why is OP such a faggot? Imagine doing these retarded company warring threads

They had one but it was ruined by moralists.

>>12415546
Did Taito make Karnov? Thought so.

>>12416115
I actually like karnovs revenge in a less than ironic way. Like it's clearly a bogus kusoge, but you gotta put things in perspective. Like we have multiple mortal kombat threads up right now and KR is objectively superior to every single MK game and there's no way anyone could argue otherwise.

>>12415531
Who gives a shit about Taito? They literally have no franchises.
Meanwhile Data East has Metal Max at least

Why can't all shooters be as unique as parodius instead of the old tired generic space ship crap, at least you have touhou but it's all samey girls shooting each other

I dunno about all these crazy names people are talkin about here but I like Data East pinball games. Time Machine is kino.

There is no shmup that looks like the ray series, it's like a gundam themed shmup

Bro nothing looks like these games, the existence of this aesthetic is such an extremely specific set of eras crossing only taito could make something like this. And darius gaiden has got to be one of the most unique looking and sounding shmups ever.
https://youtu.be/6FEdlAL3bX0
Taito has an EXTREMELY unique sense of aesthetics and not in an intentionally quirky way like generic cute em up parodius

The composer of Darius Gaiden described the soundtrack as wanting to "convey the feeling of a mental breakdown" in an interview.

They should nuke the board at this point and only make a new one in 5 years once any game before 2000 stops being trendy and all those retards stop pretending to care; but that's not gonna happen because retards, especially the phone posting kind, are the only ones that click on ads.

>>12415531
Most of their games are decent at best. They never managed to create a single lasting franchise, no wonder they went bankrupt.

>>12415539

Once you grow out of your edgy rebellious phase you'll realize how superior your dad's taste is to yours.

Please keep this out of your shitposts.

based Data East chads dabbing on Shiteo troons

Said the troon wanking over Rayforce for being a wannabe tranmaku, same troon who thinks Galaga is a Taito game lol

>>12418025
>wanking over Rayforce for being a wannabe tranmaku
I like it because it's a high quality game. I like Darius more though.
>thinks Galaga is a Taito game
Never said that, I'm not the person you replied to.
Glad you stopped pretending you played Chenlov.

>>12418028
If you were the trannny saying Rayforce is "so ahead of its time' then yes, you are one of the tranmaku shitters.
And what's your deal with Chelnov anyway, is it the only Data east game you played?

Chelnov is kino

>>12418051
Rayforce is a dadshmup dude. It's literally THE dadshmup to end all dadshmups.

>>12418065
I mean it's just Xevious with gay scoring
