Amazon.co.jp? You’ll have to (pre) pay Customs but you won’t get stung with the bullshit admin fees as it should sail through.

Does it possibly need a firmware update?

I notice Strikers 1999 is up on the Japan Switch eshop as well as a hori shooter that I don’t know the name of but it’s from Intra games. Looks decent. A 30 second google tells me that it’s called Grand Brix Shooter (and it’s already out in the UK).

Loving X-multiply. Though i’m still struggling to get past level 2. Edit: just did it! Was having a look at some screenshots of Image Fight, is the player ship the R9 but from a top down view?

Hmmmm, I don’t remember taking esprade to a meet (but maybe I did, can’t remember). I deffo had it at my house in Reading.

He’s from Virtua Fighter no?

There was a meet at my house, yeah. Don’t think Tony Mott was a thing though.

Fairly sure Tony Mott hasn’t been round my house. Unless you guys broke in.

Esprade was the first ever Cave game I was introduced to (by @sir stiff_one and @breaksmith iirc). It’s still my favourite in terms of art style (though Progear is pretty close). Been playing through X-Multiply. Kinda loving its style (big fan of the ship design) though it is fairly “one note” in that it’s levels all appear to be riffs on rtype’s (obviously) second and third levels. Wonder if we’ll ever get any curios like Rtype Leo and Gallop on the Arcade Archive stuff?

Popped in a cheeky order for a whitey too. Held off on the extra controller as I’m hoping I can just nab a one in the UK.

Get it from Amazon.co.jp. Works out about £5 more expensive than the UK version and you won’t get nailed by customs. Edit: I should learn to read.

X-multiply is due on Switch pretty soon too apparently.

Deffo skippable on Switch. Which is great because the (assumedly deliberate) spelling/grammar gets on my wick.

Has this been removed from the UK store?! Says it’s unavailable to purchase by the looks of it. Also, I see Psyvariar sneaked out onto the EU store recently too.

This is great. From watching the trailers it kind of looked Snes-ish but @Klatrymadon nails it with the Nazca influence.
