Japanese arcade game Under Defeat, which also came to consoles, is heading to the Nintendo Switch this fall here in the west. The classic shoot ’em up will be released both physically and digitally on the Switch, though a firm release date has yet to be announced. The game is being developed by City Connection and being published by Clear River Games. Here’s what’s new:
“Under Defeat now arrives on modern console platforms with no less than three game modes designed to suit the gamers’ preference and supervised by G.rev. Arcade Mode faithfully replicates the original arcade experience, presenting the game in a 4:3 ratio and a pseudo vertical screen, for the purest possible representation of the game. New Order Mode adapts the game for modern displays, transforming the adrenaline packed shooting action to widescreen 16:9 ratio, and New Order Mode+ brings a host of additional elements to the game, not least being a “WARNING GAUGE,” which adds a risk/reward mechanic to assist the player as they shoot, bomb and swerve through the hordes of enemy invaders. All modes have access to a choice of four unique helicopters to pilot into battle, each with different attributes and weapon systems. In addition, this new release also features newly added practice features for each mode, along with a choice of all three existing soundtracks, and a new Boosted soundtrack by video game music veteran, Shinji Hosoe (Ridge Racer series, Tekkenseries, etc.) and his company, Super Sweep.”
Never played this on Dreamcast or the PS3, glad it’s getting ported for current gen this Fall.
I remember playing desert strike and jungle strike a long time ago now, actually enjoyed those games, quite hard difficulty and scrambling to get fuel before you crashed.
It’d be nice if these were added to online
