Corrections: The stored autobomb for Power style is a thing in all modes, not just Arrange A. 1.5 and BL are the main arcade versions and 1.51, while it did first appear as an arcade, was only available at events. Extra things I'd like to point out: In BL you can trade autobombs for interchangeable hypers and bombs, which is what BLA is based on. This port adds the option to fight Zatsuza in training mode, which was conspicuously missing from the previous two. Still, glad to see such a coverage of DFK!

It took me some time to adjust to Resurrection's mechanical differences from the previous DDP games, as this is the only one that I hadn't played much prior to this release. After adjusting to the new focus on bullet cancelling I'm doing much better than I was at first. This is probably my least favorite DDP game, overall, but it's still a great shmup and certainly worthy of Cave's pedigree. I'm playing it in TATE mode on my Switch OLED with the Flip Grip, and it looks so good on that display.

As you pointed out, it is always the fear of having more slowdowns on the switch and that they are more pronounced and long than on the other versions (xbox 360, steam and Ps4). As much as the ports of Mushihimesama and Espgaluda 2 are in my opinion flawless (or almost), ESP Ra De sometimes gives me the impression that it slows down more on switch than on PS4, although the port is excellent too. The slowdowns in ESP Ra De are the big black spot in the game for me. While they sometimes help us get out of sticky situations, they often hurt us when we have to move quickly from one end of the screen to the other to destroy the ships that appear before they invade us. their presence and their bullets. In other words, they can cause us to fall behind in our travels. Note that most of the slowdowns seen on our living room media (PCs and consoles) were already present in the arcade. After that it is always difficult to know if they are identical or more numerous than in their original version, namely the arcade. Small aside, the steam version of Mushihimesama is slightly impacted by the tearing (especially at the beginning of the first levels) which is not present in the Switch version. By the way, I received the M2 version of Ketsui on PS4 and indeed as I expected it is by far the best version.

You mention in your review that the "ideal" conditions for playing a game like this on Switch is to play on a CRT. I have no disagreements there, it's just that you hearing saying that makes me sad that there aren't any gaming hardware companies like BenQ, MSI, Viewsonic or Gigabyte that have launched any kind of budget CRTs aimed exclusively at the gaming community. I know that people on forums typically recommend looking for used CRTs, but I've done that and nobody has any good quality CRTs that they're willing to sell in my country in Southeast Asia. But even if I could find one, it'd be nice if I could get a brand new one instead of one that is likely all beaten up and requires repairs before it's usable.

DFK is my favorite DoDonpachi game and in general my favorite CAVE game. It's also the first CAVE game, where I got a 1-all clear and almost got a 2-all clear -but only in Novice mode...- It's very Touhou-like (which I like, because I'm a Touhou fan) and has some very interesting and unique mechanics. And a very good soundtrack. I especially like the design of the bosses. They are no boring, generic tanks or warplanes like the previews games (or most shmups in general) and thanks to their voice lines, they have a little bit of personality. The only thing, I hate about this game, are *THIS GODDAMMED MOTHERFUCKING LASER WHEELS IN STAGE 5*. Whoever designed them, I hope, he will has nightmares. This section almost feels like a puzzle. Fortunally, in Arrange A, you can destroy them and in Black Lable, there are less (if I remember correct).

Here's a little extra information that I've learned about these ports regarding the slowdown accuracy. The 360 version has the most slowdown, while on release the PC version had slightly more, however Cave patched it to be more like the DFK PCB's slowdown. The Switch version is meant to be slightly more accurate again while keeping the PC versions palette, which was oversaturated on the 360. So, the 360 version is much more forgiving for new players, so they would probably prefer it if they have the choice.

I recently spent around 35 hours to complete Double Dragon Advance on Expert with 1 CC. Its very rare for me though. I take on extreme games and modes frequently but not so much no death or 1 CC's. Im more of a mass murderer when it comes to playthroughs. Huge variety of different type of games, frequent killings. 1945 gets tough near the end. I made a tutorial with commentary on the game here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKbVd6utp7dgnLs You might find it entertaining at the least. It wasnt a 1 CC run, just beating the game but I found some good strats that could be used in a run like that. 1945 2 is fuckin tough on the final stage. Still trying to beat that last stage. One word of warning. If you are playing on emulation avoid playing shooters like that through Saturn emulation. I realised late that the input lag was fucking me over majorly. It took me 6 hours to beat the final stage of 1945 on saturn. When I went over to the playstation emulator beat it within minutes. The input delay was making it mostly a position memorization game. Could hardly react. Same here, mostly. Games like R-Type , Gradius and shooters in that style are the ones Im real familiar with. The more bullet hellish aspects and hybrids of bullet curtain or just straight out bullet curtain games is all very new to me. Look forward to exploring that shit.

Bee Storm is made by IGS so there are people counted it out as mentioned in the video. It is really a decent shmup but I have to say the soundtrack is garbage. One big reason why it isn’t popular is Bee Storm has no console ports. The only way you could play Bee Storm today without using an emulator is getting an IGS Polygamemaster system and arcade cartridge. These old arcade cartridges usually have region locks so you need to be careful before making a purchase. Plus if one really dig into all the troubles to get a working Polygamemaster. Bee Storm wouldn’t be most people’s first choice when you can play like if DOJ, Ketsui, ESPGaluda on it. While for IGS games, their beat’em ups, side scrollings, fighting games, are just way better than their shmups. Really just all these reasons and factors making Bee Storm super forgettable.

BL strong is great if you play 1P with friends, because you don't last at all and it's a brain destroyer. Stage 3 for survival as record, we'll see regarding scoring. Go Mark

does strong mode make the game more difficult on 1.5 as well?

IMO Dodonpachi DFK is not a good introduction to shmup. This game is wayyyyy too complex for me

@@TheElectricUnderground and the degrading yellow bullets in hyper, and the confusing 3 ship type (just like you said, I thought boost mode is cool, I always picked that one lol), and the novice mode is surprisingly hard (at least for me). And that game mode selection is confusing too.

Nobody can agree which version of DFK is best. But everyone can agree what Cave’s worst stage 5 of all time is.

Utterly unplayable mess that makes it nearly impossible to see stuff you are supposed to be dodging. You call THIS a "good introduction to the genre"?
