If there's one Mega Drive / Genesis game we've been keeping a really keen eye on recently, it's Earthion, a new shmup from Yuzo Koshiro's Ancient studio.
We've already seen loads of cool footage relating to the game, and now we've got a fresh helping from the Tokyo Game Show.
The updated demo – which was playable on the show floor – features a new boss battle and demonstrates some of the amazing visual effects the game contains.
The game is due for release at the end of the year, with Limited Run Games handling physical distribution.
It has been confirmed that it will also come to modern-day systems.

There's some cool scaling effects in that footage. I'm guessing it's not real scaling but the sprites have been pre-rendered at each scale size and stored on the cart because space won't be an issue like it would have been back in the day.
This looks so slick! I'm seriously looking forward to the cool stuff that will be possible on the good ol MD with the much larger size of modern cartridges.
Thunderforce crossed with something more like Hellfire looks promising!
I wish they had some other company doing the physical release.
Looks absolutely stunning, soon as preorders drop I'm on it 👍
Limited scam
Yeah I'll be sailing the seven seas for this one.
Super Deluxe Games will also release it in Japan. So hope is, that it will be available at Amazon Japan.
At twitter yuzo koshiro said, that it will be released in 2025.
THIS LOOKS SO DANG GOOD Y'ALL
Love the sound work for the effects and the like; really helps make a shmup feel better when the sounds match it like this. Hoping that I'll be able to somehow buy a digital version and put the original ROM on my MiSTer, Analogue Pocket, and Mega SD.
