I rarely post on here, but came here to give a shout out to Affordable Space Adventure. Still my all-time favorite asymmetrical multiplayer game, along with the Pac-Man Vs. series, ZombiU, and Nintendo Land. Such a shame that more asymmetrical co-op/multiplayer games weren't developed for the Wii U, it's such a phenomenal concept that many devs haven't explored on the console or otherwise.
Glad to see this title getting some attention, this is probably my favorite twin stick shooter on Switch. It veers more into shmup-style than rogue-lite which is what I enjoy about it.
To Mark's credit I think the previous individual reviews of these titles were misleading with regard to the quality of the emulation. Especially playing on the hardest difficulties and on the second loops, it's virtually impossible to route properly or even clear the games due to how fast the bullet speeds can get in these Psikyo games (trust me, I tried). This is of course ignoring any extras, the only important ones of which are training/save state modes imo, which these ports also lack. At a budget price there need to be concessions which the Alpha review touched on, but it'd be impossible to recommend these versions of these games over virtually any other port already in existence.
For me it's becoming a tough pill to swallow, but despite the Switch having so many of them, I think calling the console a great place for playing shumps is hard since only a select few of them have input lag that's tolerable. It doesn't help that the console itself introduces a frame or two of lag when docked which is the big killer for me.
In case any of you wanted an option to play these games with an official Sega controller, here's a tutorial on how to use a Saturn controller on Switch:
Does anyone happen to know if the Hori dpad joycon will fit into this case? I've been eyeing the Satisfye and aforementioned Grip Case, but I've heard that the Hori joycon is slightly different in shape compared to the official ones.
