It looks like yet another Data East arcade classic will be making its way across to the Switch eShop. Arriving on 2nd August, Flying Tiger Entertainment is releasing Shoot Out - a shooting gallery-style game originally released in 1985. It will be part of Johnny Turbo’s Arcade line and will set you back a total of $7.99.
Shoot Out requires you to work your way through seven stages. The objective in each level is to shoot a set amount of criminals and avoid shooting any civilians. If the main character is hit or shoots a civilian, you lose a life. Objects located in each stage can be shot for extra points and can also be used as cover.

Will you be picking up this next release in Johnny Turbo’s Arcade line? Tell us below.

Seeing these screenshots, all I can think is: Bring Area 51 to Switch!
Midnight Resistance please!!!!!!
This reminds of Elevator Action. Love that game. There was an awesome sequel on the Sega Saturn which I need to import.
Probably nothing for Europe as usual . Why do they hate Europe (or money for that matter) so much?
The gameplay looks cumbersome, but I adore the backgrounds! Seriously, such an odd level of quality.
Come on Chelnov! Any news on EU releases?
Jonny turdo more like!!!
Still waiting for the last 5 or so games released by Flying Tiger on the North American eShop to come to Europe, specifically the U.K. Starting to wonder if they will ever come. Shame as I really, really like and enjoy Data East games. They are like loud and often laughable comfort genre movies from the 80s.
I'd love NIGHT SLASHERS on Switch.
I have been buying these whenever they release them. Releasing classic arcade games feels like the perfect approach for a virtual console on the Switch to me, it is the one thing that I have been missing in terms of classic games that I really enjoyed.
Another one I guess won't get a European release either...
Hopefully they’ve fixed up the emulator, no more blurry pixels, maybe some controller options...
Look bad ass.
Nice! A rare one from Data East!!
lol this looks awful..... but I will most likely buy it
Chuck about twenty of these games in an arcade package for $10, and I'm interested. But buying old arcade ports piecemeal, especially a game that I was bored within a minute of watching, and it ain't my cup of Oolong.
And I say this as someone who should like these games, as I spent my long-ago youth growing up in arcades. But I find the nostalgia itch scratched in mere minutes, and then feel I'm left with a shallow game, which was geared around extracting 20 cent coins (NZ) instead of great game-play.
Almost any eShop game gets released in NA and EU at the same time.
Why is that not the case with these (Flying Tiger) games? EU is several games behind.
Anyway, what's that intro (in the video above)?
This game is not allowed to be played outside of Japan?
Playing it oustide of Japan is against law and considered a crime? xD
hey data east...night slashers.
its only one of yer best games.
