    Got this PCB so pleased to see it on switch. Solid shooter. Like yourself, hoping we see the sequel soon too. Thanks for the great review!

      @@Sinisteve yeah it's bloody tough! Was playing it on the switch last night. You're right, rarely see the 2nd one pop up. Great sequel though. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Twin Eagle 2 to get a switch release as part of the arcade archives 🤞

      I've got it, and I've been playing it. Hopefully can have something up early next week.
      If you can't wait though, the long and the short of it is, it's really, really good - much beter than this - and is an absolute no-brainer.

    A surprisingly good shmup in its own right. A superior iteration on the Raiden formula imo.

    Hi, im loving this channel and I'm devouring all the videos one by one to gain any bit of knowledge, especially for someone who knows not much about this genre. Id'like to ask for a favor if i may, i started recently playing this genre on mobile with games like strike force, gunbird 2, strikers 1945, to the top infinity space shooter, sky force, sector strike and others even much more famous and beloved (but some were too stressful or difficult for me), are there for the nintendo switch games like these? For now It would be amazing with different levels to beat separately so you can end one or two and turn off the console and then reopen and continue with another mission :/ it's ok even if they are okeyish made, too easy and so generally ignored by the shmups medium player, again I'm a newbie. Hope anyone will suggest anything :)

      Sounds like Anger Force Reloaded would be perfect for you. Here's my review (first one I did): th-cam.com/video/HPukjmPNhd8/w-d-xo.html
      Ghost Blade HD doesn't have the level select, but it's easier than most shmups: th-cam.com/video/26330v_gk-U/w-d-xo.html
      Also, keep an eye on the channel over the next couple of days cause the next review may be good for you too...

      Ps. And sorry for posting the same question on two videos but I've seen later that I've commented on an 1year old video and i didn't know how notification works on such older ones

    I love these games but wow the joycons really don’t help out in any way, what controller do people recommend to use for shmups and beat em ups?

    • @ShmupsOnSwitch
      @ShmupsOnSwitch  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm happy enough with the ProController. I also have a Hori left JoyCon with a d-pad.
      There are a few proper sticks available, but I haven't tried any. Hopefully someone can recommend one...

      @@ShmupsOnSwitch no, the switch part. Sorry tor the mean spirited comment but for every rolling gunner there are bunch of 5/10 arcade archive releases and stinkers like q-yo blasters.

      Well, to be honest, about this time last year I did accept a few codes for games that turned out to be pretty shit and I did get a bit fed up playing them. Now, I try to only play games I think might be good.
