Topic: Arcade SHMUP High Score Thread

@Lroy I don't know about the week after next one either (not sure when I'm able)

IMO it would make sense that person who will be able to participate would select it, but if you all really insist of me selecting, then it probably would be Strikers 1, Samurai Aces or Gunbird 1 just to get those older titles played before getting to the newer Psikyo one's + would be interest to see how well you would do.

@GFoyle great array of games, whatever you pick would be a great choice!

Okay then, I'll select Strikers 1 as I think it's probably most popular of those.

The new weekly challenge is now open. The game chosen by @GFoyle is the superb Strikers 1945, my favourite of the 2 released on Switch so far. Default settings again so, 3 lives, 2 continues and normal difficulty level. This one has separate leaderboards for each difficulty level.

Great, I have Strikers 1945 so will be playing this one. Thanks @OorWullie and congrats @GFoyle.

I'm saving my Switch eShop money for when Wild Guns Reloaded comes out!

@GFoyle Congrats on your win and STRIKERS 1945 is an excellent choice. Will be booting that baby up as soon as the work and family duties abate ☺️

Also gives me a chance to properly try my new Switch TATE stand. @meppi64 @oorwullie from your pics in the Switch Arcade thread. I think for the same price as mine, yours are better actually. But for a tenner. I think I'll just keep the one I have and then perhaps order that HORI one further down the line.

@wasilewski Yeah, I really want to get WILD GUNS: RELOADED but my self-imposed limit for digital purchases is £25 max. I seldom go over £20. Thus, unless I wait for a sale like I did with NAMCO MUSEUM on Switch, I may look to see if I can get physical copy used, sub £20 in the months to come. That's the route I took with PUYO PUYO TETRIS and it worked for me.

Woo! Looking forward to Strikers 1945! I should have a much better time with this one.

I'm gonna sit this one out this week. I really wanna focus on DU3

@Lroy for Danmaku I did...I don't own moon patrol. My scores didn't make the cut lol

Grats to @gfoyle on the victory. I can already tell after a couple minutes with Strikers I'm going to love this one!

Congrats! Looking forward to this one!!!

@oorwullie Will include your score for DANMAKU. I'm sure he just missed it by accident. Quite a task wading through all our posts to knock-up these Leaderboards.

As for MOON PATROL. That's an absolute must-buy for any Switch Arcade library as far as I'm concerned. A genuine arcade classic game.

Just reposting my high score from earlier in the week. Congrats to the community as a whole for a job well done and thumbs up to @gfoyle for reaching the high score.

@wasilewski @Lroy I pre ordered Wild Guns reloaded physical from 365 games, and the Hori stand from Nintendo UK Store a couple of weeks ago but they have shopping delays at the mo so I still haven't got it!!

Hoping to get a decent score to post with 1945😆

@hybridseed I didn't realise they were releasing a physical version of Wild Guns Reloaded as well.

Speaking of Hori, I want to get the Hori D-Pad Joycon, especially with the new SF II coming out.

@hybridseed Wait! what?
Is this getting a EU release or are they just importing the US version?
Just noticed that Base also has the US version up for preorder, so I'm guess it's that one.
Makes it a lot easier for me than having to order it from Canada, that's for sure. No need to stress over import duties and having the package stuck in customs for 2 months.

@wasilewski
I preordered 2 of those at Nin-nin-game as Play-Asia wasn't taking any new orders at the time.

@Lroy ok. I'll have to pick it up . I just picked up Strikers

@Agent721 Quite a jump in score between your 1st and 2nd best. What was the most significant factor do you think? Aside presumably progressing further in the game.

@wasilewski Think it's just releasing physical only in the US and yeah, 365 games are taking pre orders, got it for a bit less than £30 with some player points used☺
