Uhhh I know of 1942, never realized there is another series with so similar visual and name.

Quite popular theme back then.

 

[tomwhite2004]

Creating was easy, now where do I buy the cards? Amazon says you have to be from Japan to purchase them

i always use playasia, they send the code in your order info.

yup
I have a famicom clone that resembles a N64 clone(!). It came with a 1942 clone cartridge (back in the old clone days there were no "built-in games").
Surprisingly it only plays that cartridge although famicom games fit perfectly into the slot.

Afaik no other games are available for it, so I use it exclusivly for 1942..

 

[Bastables]

Oh damn both available in NZ now. Not sure which one to get. Anyone have any idea which one is the better buy?

 

[Piccoro]

Eum, Strikers 1945 Plus never came out on the PSone, so no.
It did get released on the PSP though.

You're right. Plus is PSP/Vita only.

But the PS2 collection that has Strikers 1945 1 & 2 is available on PS3:

Strikers is a no-nonsense shmup and Gunbarich is a Breakout/Arkanoid-style game that occasionally lets you shoot bullets, so I guess it comes down to whether you want something traditional or something a little weirder.

 

[meppi]

Just played Gunbarich for the first time.
This little game is super fun!

Strikers 1945 <3

Time to bust out the Pancake.

Might go for wierd I think cheers.

 

[PAULINK]

holy shit, I just realized, the switch could be a great shmup system.

I remember when I created this thread here :
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1338883

I could feel the potential. Let's make this happen, so that more shmup/pinball games make it to the console

And I confirm that you can put the Switch vertically on the Hori stand.

 

[TLZ]

Only game on switch I have is kamiko. 1945 should be enough fun until Mario Rabbids.

I'm still hoping for a demented plastic contraption that turns the Switch into a miniaturized digital pinball table.

 

[Danneee]

Bought both, I haven't played the originals it seems like very solid ports. I wouldn't mind some kind of controller sensitivity setting as or actual analogue control though.

 

[simtmb]

On TV or handheld? Is the TV lagging or is it the port?

Was in regards to input lag, appears to definitely be incorrect as I bought both games just now, and they appear to run and control just fine.

On another note, Gunbarich oddly doesn't support the pro controller but Strikers does. They are also listed as 42% off on the JP eshop, below 500 yen each.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Happy to hear some good impressions. Will buy after work.

 

[EricB]

Gunbarich is up now on the U.S. eshop (for $7.99), but no sign of Strikers yet.

 

[wagamer]

Bought Gunbarich and like others have stated, seems to be a solid port. Portrait orientation is a great option, the Hori stand is perfect for this mode. The arcade screen filter is also a nice plus, I prefer it over the default.

Edit: well actually in TV mode the filter is not so good. Also no input lag whatsoever.

 

[Mr E.]

Not sure if this is a daft question but do the high scores save?

 

[jon bones]

wait holy shit i can use the Switch screen vertically for shmups

wooowwww

 

[Minsc]

wait holy shit i can use the Switch screen vertically for shmups

wooowwww

Nice, I will definitely be adding these to my list! Glad to read you can make better use of the screen.

Spoiler

And portrait mode is great news for the hinting at Pinball FX3 coming eventually

 

[Kresnik258]

Haha, this is what ZeroDiv are up to these days, huh?

I guess it's better than making crappy anime cash-ins or dungeon crawlers

Is Cave supporting Switch?

 

[tomwhite2004]

Is Cave supporting Switch?

Cave is basically a mobile company now, don't hold your breath.

 

[radcliff]

Is there a way to adjust the screen size like with Namco Museum?

 

[bodeiseifer]

Does it have online leaderboards?

 

[linkboy]

Strikers is a fantastic game.

I freaking loved the PS1 game.

 

[Adam Prime]

I just watched a quick play video of Strikers, I did not see an option for Vertical mode in this guy's video. Can anyone confirm or show a screen shot of it in action?

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Cave is basically a mobile company now, don't hold your breath.

The innards of the Switch are basically mobile components. Even if Cave doesn't do the ports, I'd bet a company like Circle or Teyon might if these and other SHMUPs sell alright.

Cave make mobile phone games, I wasn't referring to the consoles components or architecture.

Whilst console releases are nice i would rather see more Cave games on PC so they are not tied into console lifespans and can still be played in 20 or 30 years time.

Hot stuff
Also scanlines

 

[jariw]

Bought both games. The gain in gameplay estate in rotated mode is HUGE.

 

[Robin64]

European release PR. They're up now.

GUNBARICH for Nintendo Switch (Zerodiv) - &#8364;6.99/£5.99
Gunbarich launched in arcade version in 2001. It is a new game with elements of puzzle and shooting in the late works of Japanese brand "Psikyo". In Japan's amusement arcade, there is always one popular game.

STRIKERS1945 for Nintendo Switch (Zerodiv) - &#8364;6.99/£5.99
A revolution broke out in the shooting game in 1995. The Japanese brand "Psikyo" introduced an new enemy's attack "Spread bullets" not shooting before then, and the history of a new shooting game began.

If you are a shooting fan, "Psikyo shooting" that anyone knows is revived! Shoot!

 

[Amalthea]

Why did my Switch have to break now?

 

[cireza]

European release PR. They're up now.

Those texts always remind me of how the Dragon Ball games were translated to French on SNES and MegaDrive lol.

Descriptions of the Neo-Geo games in the Switch eShop are hilarious.

 

[ramoisdead]

Is Cave supporting Switch?

Better off asking Degica Games since lately they have been publishing Cave shmups games on PC.

 

[duckroll]

Nice. If the price is right I'll grab Strikers.

It would be awesome if they could include a vertical mode with no borders, Switch can be a great machine for shumps.

 

[boiled goose]

Can you stand the switch vertically?

 

[cireza]

Can you stand the switch vertically?

There is a picture a few posts above...

Get a Hori PlayStand.

 

[Defunkled]

Tried using my US credit card on the Japanese eShop but it's not working. I swear I read somewhere that US cards worked on the Japanese store.

 

[Monumma]

Nice. If the price is right I'll grab Strikers.

Both are 6.99€ on the european eshop. It is the same price as the neogeo games.

Very few do. But these will be on the US store in a couple of hours anyway, so why not just wait.

 

[Regiruler]

The only thing that made me not pick up Namco Museum day one was the lack of Xevious. :'(

Xevious is on 3DS and the game is probably worse than you remember.

 

[Defunkled]

Ah, I see. I was just hoping to save some money since they're only 500 yen each and the exchange rate is really good right now.

What, really?
