Answer: Ikaruga, the legendary vertically-scrolling arcade shoot-‘em-up that’s headed to Nintendo Switch on May 29. Developed by renowned Japanese studio Treasure (responsible for classic-style... Since it’s Nicalis, it’s probably going to get a physical port. I really think I should probably shoot for buying all the Nicalis games physical. ---

Nice! Silvergun is the one I really want though. Hopefully we are one step closer. ---

I’m down for all (most) treasure games on modern consoles. ---

I’m loving the idea of classic games on a cart again. ---

I’m far more likely to buy games on Switch because of that fact. ---

I hope the native resolution is 720p when portable/tate and 1080p when docked. I assume treasure is porting this themselves and Nicalis is paying the bill? ---

Thats usually what it is. They do since the Switch is only 720p. Sometimes the resolution is lower. I hope they do a good job with this because I am digging my Switch becoming my Retro-on-the-go machine. I really can’t get over how much I love the Switch as a platform. I can’t believe its got this much support from 3rd parties. I know Wii got a lot of shovel ware but this really feels like companies are putting their best foot forward to get good games on the platform. I love that I Have the ability to buy so many indies and other games on this thing. I am going to Import Rockman X collection as its the version with all the games on the carts instead of a download like the US version. I think Owlboy is coming to switch. I really hope River City Ransom Underground gets ported too. That game is a fantastic brawler. ---

Yeah. Had it on my Switch for two months. It came out digitally first and then they announced the physical. ---

I would buy DoDonPachi and/or DoDonPachi Daioujou for $100 each if that’s what they cost.
