Some say it works fine, but it was way too tight for comfort when I tried sliding my OLED into it. I just went ahead and sold it (for a decent profit, it being complete with all the packaging) and bought this one:

Highly recommend it! The only other problem with using something like this or the Flip Grip is the limited options you have when it comes to wireless Joy-Cons with a decent dpad. I researched the hell out of this and even bought a few of the most recommended products, but I returned all of them because none were anywhere near as good as the Hori Joy-Con, which isn’t wireless unfortunately.
Thanks for the link. That grip sounds great and I went ahead and bought it.

Hey guys I just picked up Esprade for Switch. Glad to report I'm very happy with it.

However something is bugging me - does anyone know how to save your hi scores? Whenever I turn off the Switch or load another game my meagre scores get lost.

Currently using good old pen and paper.

Thanks

It's common for arcade games to not save high scores. I think most M2 ports handle that the same way as the original board would. Like G Darius does save them for example.

So it's the online leaderboards. Or a good alternative would be just save state at the attract mode after you set a new PB. Load that save every time you play and over write it once you get a new score.

Shouldn't ShotTriggers releases track your scores in the ranking viewer thing?

Oh that's right. You have to toggle online ranking to local.
