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!

Thunder Dragon 2 Review - Nintendo Switch
Would’ve been better if they added a way to zoom in when you rotate the screen. There’s no reason to play in tate if doing so makes the screen even smaller.
Bought this on a whim because i kept seeing people talking about it and god damn, this is a fun game.
6:41 gameplay.
6:35 thank
Thank you.
Thanks for the great review video man. This is my number one shmup on switch as of Dec 2024. I'm fairly new to shmups and I've noticed that there are a few categories for the genre. Cute em' ups, bullet hells, side scroller, horizontal, if im missing any let me know. But I'd def consider this a horizontal bullet hell. I lean more towards cute em ups l though. But this was a phenomenal game. I've also noticed that Xbox 360 probably has the best shmups of all time. Japanese exclusive titles.
cheesy version of swos
Is the switch version the same as on other consoles like the xbox series x? Or are there differences??
The landing/takeoff sequence gives you a breather between stages. Maybe not a big deal when you have infinite credits but in the arcades when one of your hard earned quarters was on the line and you had an audience judging you it was more important.
Was planning on buying this on switch before tomorrow when it's delisted but I think this one just looks too complex for me and also I've got a few cave games now and I am unable to get good enough to get past level 3 of mushihimesama on 1 credit after hours and hours so I think I need to admit that these games are just too hard for me!!
Thank you for this review! I saw this game popping up on GoG and I'm not a football fan but I like simple arcade games. So I might buy it there :)
Man, I was really hoping they would have included the terrible English voice acting. That was part of the charm. Super dissapointing.
How do you get the true ending? After I finish 1 - 5 it goes back to stage 1-1 again.
Never personally care about scoring systems, they have their place for a certain kind of elite player, but give me a game like this and I just wanna win, not flex on some dumb score system.
Just chiming in to say how much I adore your content and knowledge. We hope you're doing well and hope that you'll be back when you're refreshed and energized.
Where have you gone? Hope all ok, your vids are great
Are you still with us?
You gonna review the switch version, just released
Got the steam version cause I liked like dreamer and it was $8. So glad I got it.
Unfortunately this game has been delisted on the Switch store due to a license issue. The same version is on Steam although it lacks the 1.5 mode which must be purchased separately as DLC.
they also have gimmick style attacks and and having touhou patterns mixed in with the cave patterns
Well i actually went ahead and brought this game and in all honesty im glad i did it is pretty awkward but in a fun way
R-Type Delta 2? You must of meant R-Type Final 2
This is one of the hardest shoot em ups i ever played im lucky to make it to the 3rd level
My favorite Terarin release next to Terra Flame
i assume you were being metaphorical about the shmup folder but just in case, how do you make game folders for the switch? lmao
This has more NGDEV influence rather than toaplan this reminds me of Neo XYX
This is coming to Switch October 23rd i am instantly buying it
And PS4… Will be double dipping on this seen as EAS knows how to do impulse purchase pricing, unlike some other publishers of older shmups.
@@Gigantemanatee Its actually the 23rd lol
@@Gigantemanatee And I'm still waiting on them to announce Soldner X Collection another one i been dying to play
Just sell your Switch, get a CoreGrafx, a Kyukyoky Tiger HuCard, a 21 inch stereo Sony Trinitron, and you'll still have money left for Final Soldier, Galaga 88 and a sixpack of Leffe Blond.... Playing this on a huge OLED with a Switch is lame.
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. 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
