Finds 1963: 🎮 Castle of Shikigami 2 (Nintendo Switch) 🎮




Published by Red Art Games

We’re thrilled to share one of the latest additions to our collection — the cult classic Castle of Shikigami 2 is now available on the Nintendo Switch! Originally released in arcades and later ported to various consoles, this legendary vertical scrolling shoot-’em-up (or "shmup") has made a triumphant return for a new generation of players.

🌀 What’s the Game About?
Castle of Shikigami 2 is a bullet hell shoot-'em-up packed with fast-paced action, flashy special attacks, and an unmistakable anime aesthetic. Set in a futuristic Japan under siege by supernatural forces, players can choose from a variety of psychics, each with their own unique weapons, special moves, and storylines.

🧙‍♂️ From mystical mages to futuristic warriors, the diverse cast of characters (as seen on the striking new cover art) brings a mix of charm and intensity to every stage. It's not just about dodging intricate bullet patterns — each character’s story is interwoven into the gameplay, making every playthrough feel fresh and engaging.

Why the Switch Version?
This new physical release by Red Art Games gives fans the opportunity to own a beautifully preserved version of the game — perfect for collectors and longtime shoot-’em-up enthusiasts. With updated UI, additional language support, and some modern polish, it’s both a nostalgic trip and a new experience all in one.

🎯 Features Include:

  • 7 playable characters with unique abilities and storylines

  • Two-player co-op mode for double the firepower

  • Beautifully remastered visuals

  • English and Japanese voiceover options

  • Intense boss fights and intricate bullet patterns

📦 For Collectors and Shmup Fans Alike
Whether you played it back in the early 2000s or are just discovering it now, Castle of Shikigami 2 is a must-have for fans of the genre. Red Art Games has done a fantastic job bringing this one back to life with a premium physical release, and it deserves a place on your shelf — and in your console.

🚀 Get ready to dodge, shoot, and unleash your inner psychic warrior!
