Blazing Star – ACA NEOGEO (Switch NSP)

Like so many Neo Geo games, there’s little doubt that some of Blazing Star appeal lies in the fact that at one point in time it was an almost totally unobtainable title unless you were comfortably rich. Even so, Yumekobo’s esteemed shooter has enough quality to entertain even when stripped of its lofty status as a collector’s item; the action is fast and challenging, while the controls are tight and responsive. The three shot types add tactical depth to the gameplay and some of the boss encounters will have you sat on the edge of your seat. The biggest complaints are the rather inconsistent pre-rendered graphics and the way in which the difficulty level smashes through the roof in the latter stages of the game, but these are minor issues when you consider how downright enjoyable Blazing Star is. One of the most famous Neo Geo shooters is now a essential purchase on your Switch, especially at this price.
