Shmup Related Questions That Don't Deserve a Thread

[Faith]

Oh since there is some Switch talk here... what Switch-exclusive STG should absolutely try? Faith recently got Switch as present from client lol @_@"... and been wondering what do with it. Mostly play on PC, but thought will keep it since could be useful when travel (even though usually travel with laptop, but guess maybe can try play on plane lol). Is it like still worth trying play handheld? Remember some others said performance is better when on dock... and of course, the controls even ok for STG? Haven't even unpack yet because of all these questions >.<!~

Also... unrelated... today is 2 years exactly since Faith got (back?) into STG (with Blue Revolver)!!! What a journey! Even though did play some in arcade in past, but at time when they were already all dying... had never really understood genre and so on until play Blue Revolver on PC!!!~

Just wanted to say: thank you so much for this little community! It really means the world to me! To be able to be here to type this especially!~

It has been such an emotional 2 years... from properly discovering STG's... to actually doing clears, and high difficulty clears, and actually caring to score on some games too... never ever thought would have ever managed any of this. It always seemed like... so distant... the skill of some players... so high and so impossible. Really, none of this would be possible without such a supportive, kind, and caring community. Even just typing random crap, or sharing experiences... and even helping each other! It is always so fun to conquer these games as a whole community!!!~

Thank you so much everyone for being here!! <3

The M2 release of JPN Switch import of DoDonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou is a must-buy for your Switch stg collection as is the Switch port of DoDonpachi Sai-Dai-Ou-Jou indeed (sold as a Switch digital download on the USA region Nintendo eShop portal).

It's recommended that a solid Switch based arcade stick to play the Switch stg titles on sure makes quite a difference in "docked mode." Here's a Hori Switch arcade stick in super mint condition: https://www.ebay.com/itm/267622676616?_ ... R6bwsOLlZw

Also the Hori Switch Split Pad Compact (with built-in auto-fire functionality) is recommended: https://www.ebay.com/itm/298256816310?_ ... R6bwsOLlZw

Here's one with all-English manual included (plus built-in auto-fire capability selectible on "the fly" if it needed be): https://www.ebay.com/itm/127699109745?_ ... R-LJjuPlZw

Is the Switch an LCD or the upgraded OLED variant version instead?
