      These list videos are great. Thanks for making them. Out of the shmups in this video, what are the easiest ones? I'm terrible at the genre but wish to improve (and enjoy myself at the same time)!

  • @petewatson8074
    @petewatson8074 2 года назад +6

    What a list. I own all but 5 of the games mentioned and even opened a Japanese account to get Esp.Ra.De.Psi.
    For beginners, the game that got me into shmups was Skyforce Reloaded . It allows you to gain currency after each run which you spend on powering up, making it easier the more you play.
    My other favourites are Crimzon Clover, Graceful Explosion Machine and Jamestown.

      Thanks Kevin, I personally don't like putting stuff on a list I don't own or have played as I don't feel it's then right to recommend if you know what I mean. That's why I didn't pick it, it's on my backlog to play! So many folks been saying it's great! Thanks, Juan

  • @willthor6912
    @willthor6912 2 года назад +5

    If you guys really are into Shmups this much, you should definitely check out *the 'Flip Grip'* accessory for the Switch. It's hands down the definitive accessory to play Shmups in Tate mode (vertical). It's a 'frame' that you add to the console that basically allows you to use it vertically with the Joycons on the side. It works wonderfully, and it's retailed at a very decent price too.
    Simply put, it's a total *MUST HAVE!*
    I received mine like a week ago, and i haven't stopped playing my huge collection of Shmups since then, it's an absolute blast.

  • @streetmagik3105
    @streetmagik3105 2 года назад +1

    The Overpowered mode in RollingGunner is rad! Gradius V was the first horizontal shmup I remember with a dual analog mode and RG reminds me of Treasure's masterpiece. Still waiting on my physical copy from Strictly Limited though.

  • @aimeeandstevewebber4542
    @aimeeandstevewebber4542 2 года назад +4

    They really need to release Psyvariar and ESP Ra. De. outside of Japan. I think they would sell a heap with an international release. These two being exclusive to Japan seems to drive the price up to ridiculous amounts as well. Would love to get hold of these two and the Aleste Collection at a decent price. This is a solid list of games but the Switch library is strong and you could easily double the number and still be covering top shooters. I really enjoy all of the ones you have mentioned and they are good picks.

    Amazing video guys, Thank You!! It’s going to cost me about $100 though 😂 Also…my favorite didn’t make it on the list, Sky Force Reloaded (I forgive you lol). The gameplay, upgrade system, online challenges, graphics, everything are top notch. And it’s under $10. Highly recommended!

    • @JustFun-ho6qy
      @JustFun-ho6qy 2 года назад

      I have Skyforce Reloaded as well and in my opinion it pretty much combines all of my least favorite aspects of shmups into one helluva stinky turd sandwich: underpowered weapons, uninspired art and an upgrade system that reminds me of playing free to play phone games, only without the means to spend cash in order to bypass the soul crushing grind.

  • @Undermog

      @sofaking1180 2 года назад

      Was thinking of getting r type final 2, but I've heard/read about some mixed opinions regarding some possible performance issues present in the switch version? For those that have extensively played it, how smoothly does or does it not run? Because I would love to get into the game big time... including the base game as well as its tons & tons of DLC.

    • @Ponaru
      @Ponaru 2 года назад

      @@sofaking1180 It's seen some updates and I can confirm it plays much better than it did at launch. It's not perfect though, you'll get frame drops from time to time with large bullet patterns. There are also two stages in the base game that always have a bit of lag during certain sections.

    I must say ⭐️👊 because both lists have many of the best shmups … psykio, cave, treasure … and there could be many more to put there (even some from arcade archives) thanks a lot guys … and continue to review shmups on switch … I always love to hear you about shmups …
    and there are still some oldies I want to see ported on switch : Ketsui and mushi mishi pork from Cave, batsugun and tatsujin (Toaplan) radiant silver gun (treasure) and battle Garegga.
    No alerte on both of your list ?
    I would have put Razion EX and Sturmwind Dx on the list too

    Would love to get a switch OLED.
    Favorite Shump game on the switch is Shikhondo Soul eater.
    Love the Asian mythology inspiration art style, level design & boss designs.
    The downside to this Shump game is the lack of TATE mode that many other Shump games on switch have.
    Honorable Shump mention that I would give is Astebreed. A pretty cool 2.5D/3D Shump game from the talented developers over at Edelweiss. (The same team that developed Sakura of rice & Ruin.)
