Re: Galaga Sequel 'Gaplus' Is The Next Arcade Archives Game On Switch

@KingMike That was Galaxian^3 (and its follow-up, Attack of the Zolgear), that had the "impossible" cabinet. It came in two flavors, the absolutely gigantic one that was only at Namco's Wonder Egg facilities, and the significantly smaller (but still large) 6-person units that showed up in Namco-owned arcades all over.

And yet, Namco made an attempt to port Galaxian^3 to the PS1 all the same.

@Moroboshi876 More of a "Second Part" because they added mechanics make it play more like a fighting game, with stricter execution timing, and meter management (the special meter is also used for picking a missed lob up off to the ground when in the first game there's no way to do that). The execution barrier to be decent at this is MUCH higher than it was in the original.

As much as I'm disappointed in the typical "It's the Switch, gotta cut it down to 30 FPS" treatment, I was still planning on getting this, but cheaping out on the card size and having a required download is making me think twice. My Micro SD card doesn't have a whole lot of space left and it's getting to the point where bigger ones are going to cost more than I want to spend.

@UmbreonsPapa I would have been interested (though, mind you, I'm only half-black, so I'm not sure how much my words count) when I was younger, but I wasn't good enough at math and my high school did not offer coding classes. My father didn't want me going to college because I wasn't great at math, but I eventually convinced him to let me at least attend the local community college...

...only for them to tell me I wasn't good enough at math qualify for any coding classes and I'd have to make up 6 math prerequisites (at the time, so many people wanted to take those classes that they set the prerequisites insanely high in order to keep people out) to be allowed to take any.

I ended up dropping out because my dream was dead (and I've never been able to self-teach).

@BRAINFOX I don't know if it's still the case, but there was a time (or at least the perception of a time) where they'd reserve a significant portion of their print run for 'influencers' and such, making it much harder for people to acquire them.
