For an authentic "up close and personal" arcade experience, especially with the Sega Ages collection, play them through your PSVR headset (yes, you can use it with your Switch, though will still be a 2D image, not VR) and headphones.
This caused me a lot of issues - My Mayflash Magic-NS stopped working with Switch (but worked perfectly with PC) so sent the Switch Dock off for repair. Came back saying it was fine, so bought another Magic-NS. That also didn't work, so returned it and tried an 8BitDo adapter. Also didn't work so ended up shelling out for an 8BitDo SN30+ controller. The Magic-NS is now working again, so will be refunding the controller. A ball ache but glad it's finally sorted!
@sixrings If you think the pricing of the Resident Evil games represents good value on Switch, by all means show your support by purchasing them. I do not, and therefore have not, and - at those prices - certainly will not.
A word of caution: The Switch version doesn't have ranked 1v1 (apparently because Ninty's online infrastructure not being able to support it.) This has ruffled feathers with some players.
Also, there are noticeable performance drops from 60fps to 30fps in both docked and in handheld. This is being looked at in a future patch, but worth noting before you commit to purchase.
Enjoying this so far. However the button mappings are in the wrong place and don't match those described in the Options page (E.g. Under Options, button "A" should be auto fire, but it's set to "Y".) Looks like a bug - anyone else experiencing that?

Re: Old-School Arcade Side-Scroller Huntdown Explodes Onto Switch Today
Loving it so far. Oozes personality and so much attention to detail on so many levels. Clearly a labour of love

Judging by the latest charts, the same could be said about GTA V

Re: Capcom Takes A Bite Out Of Its Resident Evil eShop Prices In Europe
Tell it like it is guys.
Capcom are taking the piss with those prices and there is zero justification for it.

Do these run at 60 fps?

Brilliant game - this is great news.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - July 2019
Intrigued by Fantasy Strike - sounds more tactical than technical - anyone played it?

More of this please! 💛🙌
Re: Review: Q-YO Blaster - It's Not Quite Parodius, But It's The Next Best Thing
If this released a year or two ago, I would have snapped it up. We have an embarrassment of shmup riches on Switch, so this is a pass.
Re: Review: Super Mario Maker 2 - The Last 2D Mario Game You'll Ever Need
Ambiguous review. Can't tell if you like it or not 😉
This will be my first Mario Maker - Can't wait for the thud as my pre-order drops through the letter box!
Re: Zany Shmup Q-YO Blaster Fires Onto Switch This Week
Looks fun, though it'll take something special to pull me away from Rolling Gunner, which is a modern classic.
Re: Contra And Metal Slug-Inspired Platformer Blazing Chrome Comes To Switch This July
Looks exponentially better than the new Contra. Looking forward to this!
Re: Konami's Castlevania, Contra And Arcade Collections Now Include Japanese Game Versions
@Lroy Agreed. Alas, the new Contra looks like a bulldog chewing a wasp

Love an isometric adventure - keeping a keen eye on this!
Re: Samurai Shodown V Special Is Your Next Switch Retro Fix From Hamster
The Code Mystics port of SamSho V Special is a thing of beauty. As is their port of Last Blade 2.
