Minishoot’ Adventures takes the straightforward frantic joy and game feel of shoot em ups and combines them with the exciting feeling of going on an adventure, like in the first Legend of Zelda. Fly into a charming handcrafted world and live an adventure that mixes up open exploration with crispy twin-stick shooter action. Fight your way from the shiny overworld to the deepest caves, improve your ship and overcome the dungeons’ bosses to rescue your friends!

In the developers own words: “We designed a map that would be enticing to discover, similar to a Metroidvania, with lots of connections, shortcuts, secrets, and skills that when unlocked, allow to unfold more paths to explore. All the while facing challenging bullet hell style combat with clean and polished visuals. The ability to drive around the world using a mini spaceship as a living character, allows for fluid navigation overall, making the exploration and backtracking a pleasure instead of a chore. We put all our love for Zelda 1 and shoot’em ups into Minishoot’, we hope you’ll find it interesting!”

Tokyo, Japan. Bliss Brain Corporation proudly announces the worldwide release of 70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X Hi-Res Remastered Edition, launching July 16, 2026, on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Microsoft Store, and Steam.

Originally released exclusively in Japan in 1999, Geppy-X became one of the most outrageous and ambitious anime shooters of the CD-ROM era.

Built at the height of the late-90s CD-ROM boom, the original PlayStation release spanned four discs and featured over 8,000 hand-drawn animation frames, truly an unprecedented production scale for a 2D shooter.

This wasn’t just a game inspired by anime – it was a full-blown 70s super robot TV series you could play!

For this Hi-Res Remastered Edition:

• Original Betacam master tapes have been re-digitized
• Modern upscaling enhances visual clarity
• Animation has been fully restored to its original 24 frames per second

This is not a simple upscale; it’s a full restoration of a lost anime-era production.

Geppy-X recreates the structure of a classic anime broadcast:

• Time signal → Opening → Episode → Eyecatch → Commercial break → Ending → Next episode preview.
• You don’t just watch a super robot show, you actually control it.
• Three young pilots combine their powers to command the transforming super robot Geppy-X, defending Earth from the invading Space Demon Empire.
• Mid-season mech upgrade? Of course. because this is a super robot anime — and when the upgrade hits, it hits hard.

Three Forms. No Mercy.

At its core, Geppy-X delivers fast-paced arcade-style side-scrolling shooter action.

Switch between three combat types in real time:

X1 – Balanced Precision.

Reliable, versatile firepower.

X2 – Speed Unleashed.

High mobility and the screen-clearing X Seeker.

X3 – High-risk Power.

Crushing close combat with X Slap and the devastating X Cannon.

​Strategic form switching is essential to survive intense stages and towering boss encounters.

Midway through the story, the machine evolves into Geppy-XX, unlocking new weapons and a new level of firepower — a classic super robot turning point.

The original arcade-style difficulty remains intact, but now supported by modern quality-of-life enhancements:

• Rewind Function
• Rapid Fire Option
• Quick Save
• CRT Filter Mode
• Achievement

Whether you’re a retro shooter veteran or discovering super robot anime for the first time, Geppy-X adapts to your playstyle.

Voices That Defined an Era!

Geppy-X features the original 1999 voice performances from some of Japan’s most respected and influential anime actors, including:

Akira Kamiya, Shō Hayami, Shūichi Ikeda, Ichirō Nagai, Gorō Naya, and more.

This was not a casual casting choice, it was a rare gathering of top-tier talent at the height of the CD-ROM era, captured and preserved in its original form.

The soundtrack also includes legendary anime theme artists:

Isao Sasaki, Akira Kushida, and Hironobu Kageyama, performers whose powerful songs helped define the spirit of classic super robot anime. These are the original recordings, fully intact and presented alongside the newly remastered visuals.

Geppy-X doesn’t just recreate the golden age of super robot anime, it brings back the voices and music that gave it life.
