Bliss Brain Corporation proudly announces the worldwide release of 70s-Style Robot Anime Geppy-X, launching on 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.
New Feature: Switch Between Remastered And Original Movie Versions
In 70's-Style Robot Anime Geppy-X, one of the new features we are most proud to include is the addition of an HD remastered version of the animations, digitized directly from the Betacam tapes delivered by the animation studio. Following the announcement, there have been requests from fans who shared that they would love to see the original version of the animations as well. As a result, the game included a feature that allows players to switch between the remastered and original movie versions in the name and spirit of preservation. This feature will be included in the base game and will not be released as DLC, encouraging fans to experience the unique atmosphere of the original production which packed 8,000 hand-drawn animation cels onto four CD-ROMs. Please note that some scenes in the original version were modified by the development team from the Betacam animation, and therefore may differ slightly from the remastered version, which remains faithful to the original Betacam source.
Four Discs. 8,000 Hand-Drawn Frames. Zero Restraint.
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, 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, and animation has been fully restored to its original 24 frames per second. Hence, it is no longer just a simple upscale; it’s a full restoration of a lost anime-era production.
Play A Super Robot TV Broadcast
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 control it. Three young pilots combine their powers to command the transforming super robot Geppy-X, defending Earth from the invading Space Demon Empire.
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, X2 – Speed Unleashed, and X3 – High-risk Power. 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.
Classic Challenge. Modern Control.
The original arcade-style difficulty remains intact, but now supported by modern quality-of-life enhancements including Rewind Function, Rapid Fire Option, Quick Save, CRT Filter Mode, and 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 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.
The Series Doesn’t End
Completing the main campaign is only the beginning as you may unlock six additional modes including movie-style boss rush, alternate timeline scenarios, and experimental episode variations. More than a remaster, this is the definitive broadcast edition.
