UK has its own eShop. No Ninja Spirit, X-Multiply or Image Fight for Europe yet.

Can you play Image Fight in tate? That'd be neat, I still haven't really used my flipgrip for anything.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Image Fight has tate the other two games have been announced but no date yet.

The eshop search is not perfect. If you you search "Arcade Archives" no Metal Slug games show up.

Looks like its been removed I can not find Image Fight anymore.

Radirgy Swag
That's... great news! I am just really hoping that it's not another "Psyvariar Delta" situation. Weren't we supposed to get those emails promising shipment, again, again, again, like any day now?

However, if you search "ACA" the titles show up (and other, unrelated titles). Yeah, the search isn't all that great. Nintendo routinely bungles its online store layouts.

Image Fight is gone, really? Was X-Multiply actually on for a little while? I looked for that last night. I wonder what the deal is.

Yeah they need to build some trust up first especially with this community. I ordered the Japanese version and it had several languages and even had the Dispatch Logo as it booted :shock:

Sega Ages: Space Harrier is available through the Japanese e-shop.

REALLY wish I knew if they were planning a US release before I start buying yen e-shop cards.

Can't see it not doing, everything else has come over. Though the first few releases were all pretty quick, while Virtua Racing took a month to make it over here for some reason.

Not sure about Puyo Puyo since it came before Wonder Boy in Monster Land and VR in Japan and still isn't available in the US, though it does have a localized Puyo Puyo logo when played in English. I would be surprised if Space Harrier didn't come, though.

Yeah, I know, it's Space Harrier for crying out loud. But weird things do occur on occasion. Especially when things like ports, reissues, and rights are concerned. But I guess I'll hold off for the moment even though it's making me a bit crazy (Space Harrier, along with Xevious, Galaxian, Space Invaders, and Star Wars (arcade) are huge soft spots for me. If I'm at an auction with one of these, bad things can happen)

I'm the same with Space Harrier. I'd love to sit down some time and figure out how many versions I've bought of it over the years. I currently play it via any number of Yakuza games, but portable Space Harrier damn it!

That's what I'm talking about!
Plus, I'm sure it will work really well portably, as nothing in the game is small.

Noticed that Caladrius Blaze is currently available. I have the PC version and it has really cool enemy design, lots of cool weapons to play with, an overall slick presentation, and a really troubling and cringe-producing anime-porn aspect. Of course, if you're into anime girls getting their clothes ripped off, you'll find it the opposite of really troubling and cringe-producing... Takes all kinds.

Also, this is driving me fucking crazy. But I guess a US version is officially "coming soon"

Soon needs to be soon.

Psyvariar Delta

The code for Switch has been approved we are waiting on production slotting.

We now expect this in February. PS4 is in approvals.

As an apology for this delay, we will be providing a FREE Cybattler DLC code for purchases on the Dispatch Games Online Store
Finally got shipping confirmation from Best Buy. I'll get it on the 23rd, or an empty box because it's been delayed again. :?

I use a USB adapter with a 360 SFIV FightStick [swapped Sanwa stick and buttons] for all retro arcade titles on the Switch, works great.

Yep, Caladrius Blaze appeared out of the blue on the USA region Nintendo Switch eShop site on 7-17-2019 -- there was no advance info of it ever appearing beforehand.

It should be noted that Caladrius Blaze is the censored version of the game. It seems that only the original 360 release featured the full Cut-In Breaks for the "injured" player avatars and bosses.

And speaking of Moss, Raiden V is due out on Thursday.

The latest Switch STG to appear on the USA region Nintendo eShop site is none other than Pawarumi today 7-24-2019. It's a 1.3gb d/l with a breakdown of 871mb for the actual software and an additional 468mb for the update to the latest firmware at v1.1. Pararumi runs at an arcade-spec silky-smooth 60fps rate rate.

As a bonus, depending on what official colored Nintendo joy-con you have hooked up to the Switch (when playing in handheld mode), it'll change the color of your fightercraft, indeed, during a serious STG session. How cool is that?

Leaderboard functionality is a given with this particular Switch STG title as well -- just turn "airplane mode" off to gain access to it.

I have the US PS4 digital version and most of the censorship is only in AC mode. The original mode still has much of the racier cut-ins and boss cutscenes.

Just picked up the physical NA release of Raiden V this morning. It includes a mini CD OST sampler and a mini artbook (in place of a manual).

Add Space Dave to the chart! I noticed that it wasn't there, and I can't recommend that game enough. I picked up for free with eShop coins for I want to say $0.50 on sale. It's an addicting little Space Invaders-like with a light jetpack mechanic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj6Yr6bbjq4
