Shmup fans will be delighted to hear that 3 old-school style shooters are headed to the Switch on 14th May. While they might not have the prestige of some of the best shmup games on the Switch, they come in at a low price of £13.49 for the trio on the eShop. In North America it will also be possible to buy Armed 7 DX, Satazius Next and Wolflame individually it seems.

These three shmup games are from the vaults of Astro Port studio and have been lovingly remastered for the Switch. Here's a bit more info from the publisher, Storybird:

Lost on planet Agano, resist the attacks of space pirates and save the universe from destruction. Aim to kill to defeat your enemies.

With WOLFLAME, defend the living humanity of planet Sig Fildonia. Your mission is to destroy the invaders military base and turn Operation Wolflame into a successful resistance campaign.

Features:

- 3 Shoot Them Up classics on 1 cartridge.
