Publisher Bliss Brain and developer Implicit Conversions have announced 70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X remaster, a new high-definition re-release of the 90s Japan-only PlayStation game of the same name.
The new 70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X remaster is set to launch across Windows PC (via Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PS4, and PS5 on July 16th.
Here’s a rundown on the new release, plus a trailer:
A Japanese Cult Classic Awakens — Now Available Worldwide
Originally released in the 1990s exclusively in Japan, Geppy-X returns in a fully remastered edition — and for the first time ever, launches worldwide. A bold fusion of 70s-style super robot anime and arcade-style 2D side-scrolling shooter action, Geppy-X isn’t just a retro game revival — it’s an interactive anime experience reborn in HD. With over 8,000 hand-drawn animation frames, CD-ROM-era ambition, and unapologetic love for classic super robot storytelling, this cult Japanese classic finally reaches a global audience.
Play a Super Robot TV Series
Geppy-X doesn’t just tell a story — it recreates the structure of a classic anime broadcast. Time signal → Opening theme → Episode → Eyecatch → Commercial break → Ending → Next episode preview.
You don’t just watch a super robot show — you play it. The story follows three young pilots who combine their powers to control the transforming super robot Geppy-X, defending Earth from the invading Space Demon Empire. Mid-season mech upgrade? Of course. Because this is a love letter to the golden age of super robot anime.
8,000 Hand-Drawn Frames — Fully Restored
The original PlayStation release stored its animation at 320×240 resolution and 15 frames per second — already pushing the limits of CD-ROM technology across four discs.
For this remaster:
- The original Betacam master tapes were re-digitized
- Modern upscaling techniques enhance clarity
- The animation is restored to its original 24fps
This isn’t a simple upscale. It’s a full revival of a lost anime-era production.
Arcade-Style 2D Shooter Action
At its core, Geppy-X delivers fast-paced arcade-style side-scrolling shooter gameplay. Your mech transforms between three combat types in real time:
- X1 – Balanced Type: Reliable, versatile firepower.
- X2 – Speed Type: High mobility and evasive control. The charged attack X Seeker wipes enemies across the screen.
- X3 – Power Type: High-risk close combat with the crushing X Slap. The devastating X Cannon can turn the tide of battle. Switch strategically between forms to survive intense stages and massive boss encounters.
Mech Evolution — Geppy-XX
Midway through the story, your machine evolves into Geppy-XX. New weapons. New attacks. A new level of firepower. Just like a classic super robot anime, the power upgrade hits when you need it most.
Modern Features for Classic Challenge
Experience the original difficulty — or customize your approach with modern quality-of-life enhancements:
- Rewind Function – Retry instantly after mistakes
- Rapid Fire Option – Maximize arcade intensity
- Quick Save – Save anytime
- CRT Filter Mode – Recreate the look of classic tube displays
Whether you’re a retro shooter veteran or new to super robot anime, Geppy-X adapts to your playstyle.
