Shmups On Switch
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 6 เม.ย. 2019
Reviews of shmups on Nintendo Switch and, very occasionally, other platforms too. Now and then, features some other shmup related content - best of lists, ports I'd like to see etc. Suggestions for videos will be gladly considered.
Reviews come from the perspective of what I consider to be your average shmup fan: definitely not a super player, but not someone who totally sucks either. My personal preferences are for verts and bullet hells, but that doesn't mean I can't or don't enjoy shmups outside of that.
One thing I can promise you is every game reviewed on this channel has been played extensively. The review scores might trend on the high side since if I think something looks bad, I won't accept a review copy. This is because out of the following options:
1 Don't review it
2 Dedicate a lot of time to playing it
3 Do a half-assed review based on an hour of playtime
I don't want to do 2 and 3 is unfair to both you and the devs.
Hope you enjoy the channel and happy shmupping!

Why is this not on playstation
Hope you're doing ok, loved your enthusiasm and knowledge.
@Shmups On Switch what is your top 20 shmups in order on switch ?
Would be cool to do this to ds games too
Can you list a few awesome shmups that are exclusive to Switch? PS, I don't really like bullet hell. Those games are ugly to me.
I came at this completely backwards because I'm a fan of Cybattler and Blanche was how I found out about Psyvariar but holy shit this game rules. The game itself is incredible and then for a one little dlc purchase you unlock Cybattler 2 I'm in awe
But you cant charge it while using flip grip
Great game!
Funny, I weirdly found Sol Divide to be highly addicting. No idea why, and I can see why people would think it's bad. But man, I like that thing lol
Nothing like it before or since he says -- Nanostray on Nintendo DS
Great review, man
Wait... you don't like taping to rapid fire?... 😳 My only complain with taping to fire is that the button get a lot of stress and deteriorate quickly reducing the button useful life.
Wait... you don't like R-Type? 😳
When the player returns to the moon base at the end credits, the date is shown to be 2048 B C. The action in Daifukkatsu begins in 2008 which means that the player only goes 40 years into the past and not 1000 years into the past like you mentioned in this review.
Wish this included robo aleste and musha but sweet collection of games.
My local gaming group and I were super hyped about Ikaruga coming out for Gamecube not because it was great looking or the first shmup to get mainstream recognition, oh no. We were hyped about it because it was the first and only time, at the time, where Treasure broke their seeming policy of having no sequels. But yeah, if I had a choice of getting Project RS-3 or Sin and Punishment 3, I wouldn't even hesitate - Sin & Punishment 3 is what I would want.
Late comment but I really disagree with the negative comments on Deathsmiles II. I think the gameplay is great and the bosses in particular are amazing, and while I love the spritework of the first one I don't think 2 looks bad at all.
I just 1cc Novice so proud lol. Normal is still waaay too hard though. I am almost done with my 1cc Novice for Do Don Pachi too, but that one is waaay harder to me. Anyway great review i give it a like!
The problem is that it takes up a lot of space.
Arcade games are build different. Better than NFS for me.
its a polarizing title
I appreciate the thorough review. Thank you.
Does this have a verticle mode?
This is the best, most reasoned, review of Radiant Silvergun I've ever read. Thank you as always, SOS - I hope you come back soon!
This looks wicked, I wasn’t aware of it. Thanks for the vid gonna try to track down a physical
Ngdev just doesn’t get enough credit, this looks phenomenal and I haven’t even tried it it, but will be picking it up digitally for sure. I’d love a physical but looks to be impossible to find atm. I own Razion physically and that’s it, gunlord digitally as well
Miss your reviews!
"It's shit. Buy it." Lol no
Im curious bout this as ive heard good things, but I hate not being able to see my hitbox and having to guess. I see its visible in the plane select screen,what good is that? Give it to me in the game or make it an option to turn on.
Looks really nice, will grab it as soon as a sale shows up
Excellent review! I totally agree with your assessment. Absolutely a blast to play (and a bit punishing upon death to a degree). It's been a while, and I do look forward to more reviews from you. Keep up the great work!
I love this game!
this and deathsmiles compilation look so excellent in handheld mode.
after the updates it feels very responsive.
Solid game
I'll purchase this when it's $15 or less. We played the Demo, not worth $38.
I imported this from Japan as it was cheap and had English and when I fired it up and found out it was a twin stick I though oh noooo I hate twin stick shooters... but then I just could not stop playing! ;)
you keep saying "buzz" bullets and i have no idea what you mean
Is there a way too play fullscreen
No, it's a vertical shooter, not a horizontal shooter. You can change the background tho, there are plenty of different options.
I’ve only played this off Saturn emulation on my pc and it doesn’t emulate very well, awesome game though and think I will grab it. Great vid, I feel for you though brother, some heads on here are just cut throat sheesh, give this dude a break
No TATE mode = No Buy
My 3 year old nephew loves this game on the Arcade 1up.
It looks pretty good.
So....does the patch fix the excessive slow speed or not? Ive read a lot about how it "should" fix it, but have yet to read anyone provide any definitive or any comment at all as to the before/after effect?
The deleted this version off steam and uploaded a blocky 8 bit retro game, do not buy this game.
Just finished a run, this was a nice video to learn more about the game.
Are you coming back?
Where are you?
Game is awesome i really enjoyed it
Please tell me that you are still making videos.....
