Shmups on Switch asks nicely for more shmups to come to Switch

We are closing in on May 3rd and I guess now is as good a time as any; I will be turning off the lights here by then. I've had a 4 year run and have had close to 50.000 visitors (there's still time to reach that magic number but I'm not holding my breath) and, thanks to Twitter, have made the acquintance of a lot of very nice people.

The twitter account will remain active and I will continue to add to the Nintendo Switch shmups/stg wiki to try to keep it up to date (and everyone is very welcome to join that effort).

Galaxy Warfighter coming to Nintendo Switch, Steam

Coming to the eShop and Steam on April 16th is Galaxy Warfighter.

The pitch:

Prove that you are the best pilot in the galaxy!

Taking its roots from the classic games in the shoot'em up genre, «Galaxy Warfighter» conveys the old ideas in a new way. Piloting your fighter ship, you have to fight hordes of enemies with unpredictable strategies and attack schemes.

Well, and if you think that the usual enemies are too easy, «Galaxy Warfighter» will put you face to face with the ruthless bosses. You should not underestimate them. The game will continue to increase in difficulty.

- Well thought-out attack schemes of the enemy;
- Unique bosses;
- System of the ship upgrades;
- Incredible backgrounds;
- HD Graphics in a retro style!
