Clicky clicky.

[@twisteddevotio2456]

Makes since for the how the game is rated thanks for the story background. Because the language barrier this is going be pass for now, than again maybe its a good thing its not localized because possible have to appease to " culture standards" only in "Amerika!" Yes I live in the U.S. No I do not hate my country. I'm just getting tired of stupid people running/regulating our industries or playing stupid just to gain some type of support from masses that lack self awareness. I think I just insulted myself to a certain degree. Ok moving on. Oh before I forget Die Hard, whatever game you mentioned and Death Smiles 1 & 2 are Christmas games. I could not resist. 🔱

[@golions13579]

Including the menu translation in the description was a goat move. Great vid. Cant wait for my switch copy to show up. I have it on ps4 and want it on the go.

[@chocolocojames213]

Here is hoping for a second collection of Compile shooters with MUSHA 😁😁😁

Muuuuushaaaaa

I JUST ordered this yesterday! I've been on a shmup kick lately - kicked off by Danmaku Unlimited 3, which is just awesome.

[@broken1394]

Danmaku is my most played Switch game - love it - caters to all levels the colours are mezmerising. ♥️🕹

ESP Ra Ding Dong cracked me up. Appreciate your videos always 🔱

Thanks for watching 😊 🔱

[@RetroBreak]

Picked it up in Japan last year! Amazing shoot em up! :D One of my faves on the system for sure!

[@SwitchWatch]

It’s just brilliant

[@RetroBreak]

@@SwitchWatch it reminds me of a touhou game which is why I like it so much!

[@nathangillmore5064]

Love the video, I’m off to buy this now, thanks!

[@SwitchWatch]

Niiice!

[@TheMinchio]

Thanks a lot for this video!, I got my copy after watching it and this is like one of the best games I've ever played in the Switch. Only thing is I get a bit lost through those Japanese menus, but not a big deal. Great game, worth every cent.

[@SwitchWatch]

Awesome! Hope you figure out the menus, shouldn’t take too long if you play around with them a bit

[@lun_r]

You guys spoil us. Thank you.

[@SwitchWatch]

So much content this week 😊

[@ganesh2levrai]

I forgot I bought this game lol You made me replay it again !

[@Whisperlil]

I could not find this on the eshop, nor could figure out how to change region or such smoothly and painless, so hurt my wallet by heading to playasia and crossing finger they ship to norway too. And thank you for the link to translation that is going to be useful when I get it, if I get it.

[@Napoleon_4pcs]

Excellent video Jordan! I ordered this game a while ago (using your link of course) together with a pre-order of Record of Lodoss war so I will have to wait a bit before I play it.

[@biostem]

This incredible game deserves every ounce of attention it can get. Great review and overview! Would like to see more of this series. 🔱

[@SwitchWatch]

We’ve got the next episode already planned 😊 🔱

[@andrewbutler9533]

Shame they didn't do Battle Garegga and Ketsui for the switch too. Dangun Feveron too for that matter.

[@stueeey]

Favourite schmup on switch, knew nothing of the story etc so appreciate the summary!

[@SuperHyphyOne]

This is one of my all time favorite shmups. It's not bullet hell just for the sake of being bullet hell. It has a fine balance of challenge and pick up and play that many games can't get right.

[@creekandseminole]

Man I really like this Cave shmup. The mechanics are a lot of fun plus the premise reminds me of psychic battle manga / anime films like Akira and Harmegeddon.

[@bobmiller7789]

Dangun Feveron Japanese only. I believe it's only on the PlayStation store though. Great video, I enjoyed it very much.

[@omyguzman1796]

Guys dont sleep on this one its a bit pricey but worth it 🧜‍♂️

[@SwitchWatch]

🔱

[@DodonEnthusiasticArt]

Great review and video guys, this game deserves more visibility and more love! 👍👍👍

[@bsolt978]

Since I suck at shmups, I really play for the story lmao. Thanks for the review! Cheers! 🔱

[@robross6462]

Loved all the different ESP Ra De Psi pronunciations 😂😂 I can relate to the struggle. What an interesting and ridiculous storyline! Appreciate the translation Picked this up (obviously using the link for support) excited to play when it arrives. Thanks for all the great content you put out! 🔱

[@SwitchWatch]

You are most welcome

[@IanMartinScreenwriter]

I’ve got this on my Pandoras Box arcade machine but now I need to get it on the switch

[@DieselJT]

This is one of my favorite imports! I am loving every minute spent with this game. As far as the mission mode goes all u have to do is use Google translate and you can easily read a of the objectives. If you do not own this you must pick this up. And get it physically, you won't regret it.

[@SwitchWatch]

Glad you enjoy it so much 😊

[@VGShrine]

Awesome video. Esp Ra De is one of the best shmups out there in Japan. With the upcoming release of Radirgy 2, can you please make a video of the Radirgy games and story for the existing releases (Radirgy, Radirgy Noa, Radirgy Swag)? It would be awesome to understand Radirgy's story and character relationships. Thanks so much in advance and thanks for the awesome shmup videos!!

[@BimmyFricker]

🔱 (your advice to copy&paste worked) I preordered the limited edition when it came out and its is definately one of the best shmups on switch for sure!

[@SwitchWatch]

Yay! 🔱

[@robotech3894]

I might buy this game. Thanks for sharing

[@fateseal]

Keep the gems coming!

[@dzadigital5613]

got this shmup through amazon a couple of months ago. pretty good! im actually enjoying the Psikyo Alpha and Bravo collections i purchased through the e-shop. they run more cleaner and smooth.

[@ciscokid5839]

Great Video.

[@SwitchWatch]

Thank you! 😊

[@whiterabbits22]

Man that score and stat screen on the left is an ADHD nightmare 😂

[@SwitchWatch]

Ha! Thankfully you can play vertically to make it go away if it’s too much info

[@lun_r]

@@SwitchWatch Isn't it important? How do you keep track of the mechanics? Vertical is the way to go. What sort of controllers do you guys use for these. I am so bad at these. I need to go back on rewatch the special and find that game with downloads of replays of people who have actually mastered this genre.

This is a Christmas 🎄 game baby!!!

I sort of need this. Thank you Miguel. Good review. Great series. Thank you Jordan...ummmm....you read and emoted well. Thinking you could make a career presenting news or culture or something. Preferably outside of the 100-acre wood. And like soon. I worry.

[@pato6110]

I had to take a look at my copy of the game... I wasn't even aware that there is a manual (lol)... If you can call it that.

[@SwitchWatch]

Was it there? 😆

I really want it but this must be THE most expensive shmup game on any console out there! 🙁

Indeed it is 😔

It kinda irritates me when I see SHMUP gameplay where the player doesn't pick up the drops from annihilated enemies.

Maybe it is a little bit expensive.

lol I'm sorry what $70? I can buy 2 shmup with that, the fact that it has the CERO logo on it also makes me doesn't like it a little bit more, hope it comes down in price

The issue though vis that's it's 70 FUCKING DOLLARS
