## Summary

A GamesRadar+ writer reports that one of their favourite shoot-'em-up (shmup) games is being ported to a retro-style console, but the hardware itself remains too expensive for them to justify buying. The piece reflects a common tension in retro gaming circles, where niche re-releases and ports are increasingly tied to premium or limited-run hardware rather than affordable, widely accessible platforms.

Beyond the headline sentiment, the article's full details were not available in the supplied text, which consisted mainly of website styling code rather than editorial content. As such, specifics such as the name of the shmup title, the console in question, its price and release date could not be confirmed from the source material provided.
