Yea, I'm in...two shmups releasing on switch today, right? This and Alpha Mission II.

 

[donkey show]

Uuhhhh... how is this possible? the switch screen on your computer?

HDMI from dock to a capture card?

 

[Jonneh3003]

Uuhhhh... how is this possible? the switch screen on your computer?

My PC is plugged into my TV so I tend to just run consoles through my capture card. Makes it pretty easy to multi task too.

I couldn't wait for AMII and bought it on the JPN eShop. has both the english and japanese version of the game.

 

[Vitacat]

Probably just a screenshot. The Switch camera button works everywhere, not only in-game.

Edit: never mind, he's using a video capture card.

It actually won't capture in the eShop. I tried when I posted the thread about the game's release date.

You'll get a prompt that says "Capture functionality not available" or something.

Thank you, did not know that.

Now I have the larger grid for games! Watching the DF Scorpio reveal while this downloads.

Yessssss, plan to snag both if the impressions are good for this.

Yep. I'll be watching for Shmup-GAF impressions about which I should pick up. So much of what makes a good shmup is feel and can't be conveyed via watching videos. I rarely enjoy non-auto scrolling shmups also. The intensity just goes way down.

That doesn't rule out getting both eventually if they're both good, of course.

 

[Type40]

Can't wait to play this during lunch.

 

[jacobeid]

This and Puyo Puyo Tetris are going to be such great lunch break games for me. Glad to see reviews are doing well too. It's the right price too so I'll buy it.

Can't wait to play this during lunch.

Ayyyyy

 

[Seik]

Trailer sold me the first time I saw it.

Game looks legit af, plus it's a very decent price.

 

[Mdk7]

Game is available on the EU Store!

 

[Spukc]

how is the hd rumble .. and i am still meh on the art style

 

[Snkfanatic]

Agreed, but if the gameplay is fun I can look past it.

 

[hoserx]

Using a capture card I'd think.

Destructoid review : 7/10
https://www.destructoid.com/review-...6.phtml?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

For $13, Graceful Explosion Machine is a fun little space shooter with nice visuals and audio that is worth your time and money if you're a high score hound. Even if you're not, there are far worse games on the Switch currently, and not many that only ask a few minutes of your time to complete a level, which makes this the perfect game to play on the go. It's pretty good.

 

[Benzychenz]

Will grab if impressions are good.

Still need an HD rumble game as well.

 

[wild wild rice]

Lol that destructoid review is so tepid. "There are worse games available."

 

[Craig Majaski]

My review is up on Nintendo Times.

Really awesome game!! 9/10

 

[Hispanicguy]

Picking this up as soon as I get home.

The high score chase will be fun!

 

[hoserx]

Anyone know if it's 60 or 30 fps?

 

[Spukc]

Oh, and HD rumble is still a highly overrated feature of the Switch, as the difference is barely, if at all, noticeable here. It is also strange that most of the time the controller rumbles just when you explode enemies, so it's almost constant -- though not enough to be annoying.

aww shit no buy for me the ONLY good HD rumble demo is still exclusive to 1 2 switch.

 

[Jonneh3003]

It feels quite a bit like Resogun but with a few more maneuvers, I really like it.

 

[LordKano]

Destructoid says 60fps.

"If the popular boy band Smash Mouth made a space shooter, I'd imagine it would turn out something like this."

What does this even mean? Smash Mouth isn't a boy band, and they're absolutely terrible.

Awesome. Buying now!

Stopped reading at the shoehorned Phil Collins reference. Thank goodness the NL review doesn't mess about.

The reviewer ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.

 

[Jonneh3003]

This game is such a nice surprise. I think I prefer it to Resogun which is saying a lot as that's one of my top 10 PS4 games.

 

[phanphare]

Hey now.

LOL

 

[soultron]

Sent the OT to a few people who worked on the game and they loved it! Nice work, OP!

Picking it up now.

The OST comes out next week, for those wondering -- on 13 April, IIRC. Pre-orders will probably go live on this page soon: https://robbyduguay.bandcamp.com/

Oh are you friends with the developers? They've crafted something truly special.

 

[Mbrill82]

I had never even heard of this game until I open to this thread. Great OT by the way. I'll definitely be getting this game today, I love shoot'em up so I was interested when I saw this thread but when I saw that it was a switch exclusive I knew I had to have it ASAP

 

[soultron]

Acquaintances. I run into some of them from time to time since I'm from Toronto and I frequent some of the same events they go to. They're all very nice folks, I assure you.

They're probably reading the thread, so don't be afraid to share your appreciation!

 

[Anson225]

How come it still says "Release on 04/06/2017" in my eShop?
Is it not released in the US store yet?

 

[LewieP]

No mention of the fantastic We Are Doomed?!?

Lol, this thread. Great seeing comparisons to Resogun!

 

[wild wild rice]

Comparisons to Resogun is a dangerous game. Resogun is a classic.

If it's half as good as Resogun, I'm in.

 

[whyman]

On level 9 so far. Really enjoying it and that is not common for these types of games. I am usually bad at them but this one is more easy to learn but hard to master. Anyway its really fun, i like the music and the art is nice.
