An overview of examples of the Psikyo games coming to the iiRcade include:
Gunbird series (Vertically Scrolling Shoot 'em up Arcade Game, 1994): The game follows a story about the "magical mirror" that makes wishes come true. The story plays out in between levels and before boss fights, telling a tale of how the protagonists are trying to collect pieces of a magic mirror to make a wish.
Strikers 1945 series (Vertically Scrolling Shoot 'em up Arcade Game, 1995): World War II has ended but the mysterious organization called C.A.N.Y. has emerged to conquer the world using super weapons never seen before. Six best fighters, who together form a team called Strikers, have been secretly selected by United Military Headquarters for a mission to fight against this threat.
Zero Gunner series (Shoot 'em up Arcade Game, 1997): Taking place in the future (2016), a worldwide martial law is initiated when a widespread terrorist organization overthrew and took control of the world's military authorities. A group of ace helicopter pilots are secretly amassed in a special forces squadron called ZERO to travel around the world and destroy the occupied terrorist forces.
Dragon Blaze (Shoot 'em up Arcade Game, 2000): Four magic stones and the god of the moon and the sun brings unprecedented prosperity to the megaliths world. This peaceful period ends with the sudden arrival of Nebulus and the dark army. The god of the sun then entrusted four knights with armor of the gods and orders them to overthrow Nebulus.
Battle K-road (Fighting Arcade, 1994): The game features seven fighting styles and two playable characters per style, for a total of 14 playable fighters, that battle other opponents in the K-Road Tournament.
