Switch Shmup Jet Lancer's Getting A Free Arcade Mode Update

Shoot Em Up! (I hate the term shmup, lol)

It's a good game and this would be welcome

The air combat looks like time pilot on steroids gonna give this a go!

@Clyde_Radcliffe Shtup! (i hope somebody gets the joke - and i don't mean to actually insult you, i too hate it haha)

EDIT - the joke is "Shut Up" it's too far-fetched, i'll work on my comedy i'm sorry

This looked like an excellent game that I meant to buy a while back. I kept waiting for a physical release, but it might be too small of a title to get one! I might have to pull the trigger on the eShop sale.

@Ulysses it's on sale now

@rockodoodle
Yes. Notice the key word, "I might have to pull the trigger on the eShop sale." That refers to the sale already happening.

If I had said "I might have to pull the trigger on an eShop sale," then that would indicate I was unaware of a sale currently happening.

@Ulysses I’m sure it was just an innocent mistake bro we’re all just gamers here feel the love! Also hope y’all are staying safe amongst this Covid madness.

Somehow I overlooked this one. Is it recommended? Looks like it could be a bit hectic, but it seems like it could be fun as well.

@Ulysses The semantics of definiteness are indeed fascinating. But using them in a public forum to prove one's superior linguistic competence isn't the best look.

@rockodoodle @JimmySpades @needmorecowbell wow! Taking a second look at my post, I look like quite the grammar nazi. My apologies! That was way too pedantic for this environment.

@Ulysses No worries bro appreciate the positive energy, you should see me without my morning coffee 😋

@Ulysses it’s all good! I tend to gloss over things. I don even think I saw the last sentence. I need to pay more attention.

@Clyde_Radcliffe - I remember back in the 80s and 90s when we used to just call them "shooters". I loath the term shmup. It's clunky sounding, is awkward to say and saves zero time.
I will die on this hill.

@SuperToe Yeah, Shooters or 2D Shooters sounded much better. I know I sound like Kranky Kong right now but a lot of these new terms (like Metroidvania too) just sound dumbed down to me, like when people call celebrity couples things like Brangelina or R-Patz.

@JayJ Yeah, I highly recommend it. The Nintendolife review is positive too.

@60frames-please is it 60fps tho!?

Cool, I just picked this up on sale last week!

Never heard of it until now. And it looks great. And on sale too? Sold.

I'm still anticipating a PvP mode since it looks tailor made for some exciting dogfights.

@SuperToe Yes, always has been Shooters for me. Stupid FPSs stealing the name...
And "Time Pilot on steroids." I think that might have sold me on it. Didn't hear about this game back in May.

Bought this game a few weeks ago, randomly, and it was one of the funnest games I've played in a long time.
Certainly not the typical shoot'em up, and not as difficult as the genre can be, but a real awesome surprise.
Can't wait for the new arcade mode!

@StefanN No mate, we got it, don't worry about that 😂

@neogyo Yup, Jet Lancer seems to run at 60fps all the time. I haven't gotten too far yet, so there might be drops later in the game. It looks awesome in motion, and in explosions.

@60frames-please nice I want to check it out!
