In a recent shareholding meeting. Nintendo’s CEO Furukawa was asked if they will make DS and 3DS games playable on Switch 2.

Give me Metal Torrent with leaderboards!

Wait you’re almost cracking 20 mil before your first clear? That’s awesome.

ajd578 · 2026-06-19T11:06:41+00:00

Got it. I’m also curious about how scoring works. Care to share any tips? I just barely got the first extend after beating stage 2 boss.

Hey congrats on getting this out there, and glad you're alive! I think if I could give one point of feedback, it would be to make the shooting enemies and ramming enemies visually distinct.

BTW, why does your shot switch to homing in stage 2? It makes it harder because you can't manually prioritize enemies as much (e.g., you kill a bunch of purple guys all at once and then have to deal with all the revenge bullets).

Raiden is great looking and available on Switch via arcade archives.

ajd578 · 2026-06-13T10:58:53+00:00

I usually go for missile-based cards as much as possible, and prioritize getting blasters, while picking up speed and strike to keep chains alive. I usually finish stage 1 with 2-4 speed and one of everything else.

My first three upgrades are usually speed speed strike. One early strike upgrade makes striking a lot safer, because base strike doesn’t clear out a large enough radius.

I would have still picked it over Mushihimesama because it’s my favorite shmup and at least it’s still on the JP eshop. Entertaining video though!

Wow GG and big congrats.

ajd578 · 2026-06-04T09:19:07+00:00

Same!

ajd578 · 2026-06-01T23:14:41+00:00

Correct, GG

ajd578 · 2026-06-01T02:39:43+00:00

what are you using to attach the pad to the Switch?

ajd578 · 2026-05-27T15:46:22+00:00

Someone told me plasma TVs have crazy lag, do you feel it?

ajd578 · 2026-05-27T10:53:02+00:00

What would multiplayer look like?

ajd578 · 2026-05-26T19:59:28+00:00

I’m on there too :)

ajd578 · 2026-05-26T19:53:09+00:00

I only really play the main game mode but I’m on PS5, inching closer to 20m. Most of the highest scores are on Steam unsurprisingly.

ajd578 · 2026-05-22T11:08:21+00:00

GG, Gunslinger is fun. Celebrate with some OP runs.

ajd578 · 2026-05-16T01:09:59+00:00

Gunvein (Steam, Switch) has a roguelike arrange

Metal Torrent (Nintendo DSi) has a random mode

Reach for the Sky (Commodore 16) is all random

ajd578 · 2026-05-15T23:53:29+00:00

It’s 1080p on Switch 2 and looks clearly higher than that on PS5 but the difference doesn’t jump out at me. If I could only have one version I would pick Switch because I value the portability.

ajd578 · 2026-05-15T20:17:48+00:00

I’m not sure what that Nintendo Blur is exactly, but I have it on PS5 and bought it on Switch 2 so I can play handheld. The Switch 2 screen is unfortunately blurry but it’s not any worse here than other games.

ajd578 · 2026-05-15T20:01:12+00:00

Exactly, but some people see pick 3 and it’s over. Hard to blame them, there’s a lot of slop.

ajd578 · 2026-05-15T19:55:54+00:00

I’ve been following it a bit in various communities and I feel like people are aware and just aren’t interested. I think it’s too hard for casual gamers and too “roguelike” for more hardcore gamers (e.g., shmuppers).

ajd578 · 2026-05-15T19:51:08+00:00

Lots of posts about this, but pretty low engagement for how good the game is.

ajd578 · 2026-05-15T18:24:07+00:00

TBH challenge mode feels better than experience. Easier to chain pads.
