Yep, it's playable NOW on the Switch if you bought it digitally. Woop woop!Stanshall wrote:I ordered it digitally and I wonder whether it will unlock at midnight! Only a few hours til we find out.
Oh damn! Now I'm exactly where I knew I would be, with my LE version supposedly shipping tomorrow, having paid $120 for the game and expedited shipping, and about to go buy eshop points so I can play it right now...Stanshall wrote:Yep, it's playable NOW on the Switch if you bought it digitally.

No, it'll probably be around 9ish hours from now.evil_ash_xero wrote:Is it on PSN yet?

It's ¥4950. I would recommend g2a for credit. I got ¥5000 for £34 rather than £42 at PlayAsia.Jonpachi wrote:How much is it on the eshop for those with a Japanese account?
Thanks! My order is still in "processing" and I'm get antsy...Stanshall wrote:It's ¥4950. I would recommend g2a for credit. I got ¥5000 for £34 rather than £42 at PlayAsia.Jonpachi wrote:How much is it on the eshop for those with a Japanese account?
Yeah def an option but I’ve experienced lag that way and would rather just main over on the PS4. This purchase was just to support the cause and have the game for some quick plane/train sessions. My message was just a heads up to anyone debating one over the other. The port is solid, but your efforts (if you want to play aggressively might be hampered if you only have a Joy Cons/Pro controller to go with.kuze wrote:There's always the possibility of using an arcade stick with the Switch too. Brook UFB supports it for example, so you could use the same stick as you do on your PS4.

I got one a couple hours ago. If DHL is to be believed I’ll have it on Friday.kuze wrote:Anyone that bought from Amazon get a shipping notification yet?
The D-pad on the Hori Split Pad Pro makes that the only choice for me with handheld Switch play. I've hooked up my 360 stick as well and it's absolutely fine, not noticeably laggy, but I'm not very familiar with the game. Really enjoying it, though. What a belter.ATTRACTS wrote:Played the Switch digital version for the last few hours. Decent port but absolutely frustrating using the Switch’s shit Joy Cons. Pro controller doesn’t fair much better unfortunately. I expected this in theory but it’s pretty brutal (Switch Lite owners forget about it). EspRaDe is already a fairly floaty feeling game and the imprecise JoyCons/Pro sticks make dodging tougher than it should be.
Do you have direct experience with the original PCB (on a CRT monitor)?ATTRACTS wrote:EspRaDe is already a fairly floaty feeling game
Same, DHL shows Friday for me too. Amazon actually has a Tuesday, 12/24 delivery estimate... but the DHL tracking seems to indicate it will show up sooner.schnuth wrote:I got one a couple hours ago.

I have and I don't think there is that big a difference between playing on Switch (handheld and docked using arcade stick) and original in a arcade. There is probably some more lag on console / using modern TV of course, but it's still so good that I don't at least have a feeling that i would need to play differently to adjust. M2 has done (again) amazing job with the port, especially on Switch considering the challenges of getting the input lag to be on good level on that machine.Bassa-Bassa wrote:Do you have direct experience with the original PCB (on a CRT monitor)?ATTRACTS wrote:EspRaDe is already a fairly floaty feeling game
This is interesting because then (if we agree that a floaty feeling is one of the least desirable things you can find in the genre), the games with flying humans as avatars would be automatically flawed vs. ship-based games. I think that it may have more to do with how this game's player sprites are animated, there are too many frames for their own good. Espgaluda feels different, I always thought. Then again, I'd like to know more opinions on 'Rade's original input lag: is it Cave's "laggiest" game?GFoyle wrote:As for a floaty feeling, maybe there is some more compared to something like dodonpachi (one of the two shmups I often jump between in arcade) or maybe it's a bit like optical illusion because of the graphics and style, esprade having flying humans and all.
