Ahh Darius... one of the great classic SHMUP series of the 90s. These games are famous for awesome gameplay and baddies that resemble massive mechanized sea creatures, and they seriously stand the test of time. And 1997's G-Darius is no exception. Originally released in arcades and soon ported to the Sony PlayStation, G-Darius is one of the series big sluggers. And now ININ Games has brought it back on the Nintendo Switch with an excellent port by the geniuses at M2.
The Switch port of G-Darius HD is extremely impressive, presenting the original game in 1080p as the name would suggest. There are plenty of options to adjust the visual presentation, including a 2D representation of the arcade cabinet, and you can also switch the graphics back to their original arcade resolution. The controls are tight, and the soundtrack is crisp and clear. All in all M2 did a solid job as they always do on this port. I seriously recommend this release to SHMUP fans, despite the price being a tad steep.
