Now featuring switchable original animation mode
Bliss Brain Corporation proudly announces the worldwide release of 70s-style Robot Anime Geppy-X, 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.
In 70’s-Style Robot Anime Geppy-X, one of the new features the devs 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, Bliss Brain received requests from fans who shared that they would love to see the original version of the animations as well. The devs agree that this is important, especially in the name of preservation, so they have have decided to include a feature that allows players to switch between the remastered and original movie versions.
This feature will be included in the base game and will not be released as DLC.
Bliss Brain invite you 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. Bliss Brain hopes you will discover and enjoy the details and creative touches the development team carefully crafted.
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
- 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.
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
- 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:
- 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.
