Basically, if there's something you want for Switch, do a search, 85% chance it's on sale.
Man, I'm part of the 15%. No rolling gunner or psyvariar on sale. At least I got Sisters Royale.
I suck at these games but I do enjoy them.

Yeah, I too had fingers crossed for psyvariar... Oh well, I finally got Pawarumi

Sisters Royale is great, BTW

^It's kind of a crime honestly because Vasara is amazing.

It's much better on PS4, though.

Steam Summer Sale time, and all the discounts you'd expect.
Degica discounts galore! I think DariusBurst is at it's lowest costing $24. Personally, I'm taking the opportunity to finally grab Senko no Ronde 2 at $14 (yes, I'm the one fan of the original). Looking forward to there being no one online for me to battle...

Anyways, go to Steam, get stuff. Neko Navy's half-off at $5.50, you know you've always been curious (spoiler: it's fun!)

Got a bunch of games on this sale really cheap, and at least tried them all for a little bit and really happy with the acquisitions:

Danmaku Unlimited 2 (already have the 3rd one), Space Moth DX (really nice!), Super Galaxy Squadron EX Turbo (fun little game!), ESCHATOS, Sky Force Anniversary, Mecha Ritz: Steel Rondo, Trouble Witches Origin - Episode1 Daughters of Amalgam (reminds me of Gundemonium, wish it was available to buy), Castle of Shikigami 式神の城 (had to buy it!), Sky Force Reloaded, Touhou Fantastic Danmaku Festival.

Debating whether I should get Kamui and Reflex. The other games on my wishlist are kinda on the expensive side for me right now (Dariusburst, Game Tengoku, Rigid Force Alpha, Azure Reflections, etc).
I suck at these games but I do enjoy them.

You can buy it for like $3 from keyshops, if you really want it on Steam.

I finally picked up Blue Revolver and ZeroRanger this sale.

SEGA AGES Thunder Force games are excellent ports, 3 frames of latency, maybe the lowest on the system.

Its for the Android operating system, which is primarily used on phones or tablets. It maybe possible to use a emulator to get them working in Windows but your likely better off going with the PSX/PC versions in that case. Some phones(IE Samsung Dex) do support outputting to a monitor and combined with a Bluetooth controller you could play that way.
