“Great Smash T.V.-like with perks/upgrades to chose from each time you level up and clear an arena.”

“Another excellent arcade platformer from the developper behind Donut Dodo. Works perfectly out of the box on the deck.”

“Fun Run and Gun with cute graphics. Could have used some variety in the power up/weapon side of things though. Still a fun game that doesn't overstays its welcome.”

“Fun autoscrolling action game in which you spend most of your time in the air by either shooting downwards or using your jetpack. It's like a cool mix of Run & Gun and Shoot'Em Up.”

“Fun Danmaku with big chunky pixels that definitely look better on a smaller screen. The game lets you switch between the 2 characters & their 2 shots on the fly. Cool RPG-like OST.”

“Awesome free puzzle-game with lots of stages. Pretty challenging (even more so if you want to get all the stars). It's free and fits the Deck perfectly so just try it if you're into puzzle-games.”

“Classic 1st shoot'em up from Psikyo. Just a straightforward game without fancy mechanics or a crazy scoring system and sometimes that's all you need (just like the 1st Gunbird).”

“Cool port of the 3DS version. Not the greatest shmup in any way but not bad either. Don't play on Normal difficulty if you want some challenge (1CCed hard mode on my first try too though).”

“2 very fun games for a cheap price (especially if you look at the price at the wonderswan original). Feels like prototypes for Eschatos. Supports Tate.”

“Fun little Shmup that's more on the Touhou side of the genre. Very easy to 1CC on normal difficulty. Lots of content for the price.”

“Amazing game that feels oddly relaxing to me.”

“Not the best in the series but still a pretty solid Shmup with characters that all play differently. Set the UI to "Classic" in the options if you wanna play in Tate.”

“Pretty fun single screen platformer with a suprising amount of mechanics. Would have been cool to have more than one layout to differientate the levels as well as some options though.”

“Cool sequel to TECHPACK. More variety with the levels and more characters to chose from but still lacking some options. Not sure if I prefer it to the original but both games are fun.”

“Whether you're into shmups or not, this is an awesome party game that's also pretty fun in singleplayer. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Great horizontal shoot 'em up that used to be locked at 40 fps on the Deck for some reason. Now runs at 60 FPS as it should.”

“Not the best shmup from Akiragoya/Artesneit but still pretty cool if you can overlook (or if you enjoy I guess) the questionable setting of the game. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Fun old school shoot 'em up that works perfectly out of the box. Better than Zenohell in my opinion and a little less challenging.”

“Fun little collection of minigames if you miss Track and Field and other sports games of this kind. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Great mix of Pong and Shmup that's obviously more enjoyable against another player. Works great on the Deck but don't look at the leaderboards; it makes the game crash.”

“Great casual Beat Them Up that's totally worth a try. Good roster with lots of combo possibilities, good enemy variety etc... It's really fun and works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Cool Shoot Them Up but only recommended to people who like old school ones where losing a life can end your game. Has a local coop mode added compared to the arcade original.”

“If you like the Bishi Bashi series ( or Track and Field), you should enjoy this Korean clone. This kind of game is obviously much more fun against a human than against that cheating computer.”

“Pretty simple but fun single-screen platformer with only one button to jump and hover. You just collect the diamonds and avoid the enemies. Pretty easy 1CC on the default difficulty.”

“The last game in the Zeno trilogy and this time it alternates between shmup and top down run and gun (which are kind of similar to the ones in Contra 3) stages. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“3 mini-games "compilations in 1 from TRIANGLE SERVICE. Fun stuff, escpecially for local multiplayer. Shmups Skill Test is different compared to the standalone version.”

“Pretty chill casual game from one of the devs that worked on Pac-Man 256. Just don't go in expecting Dig Dug or Mr. Driller. Works perfectly out the box.”

“A fun Megaman clone that works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Great Picross-like that fits the Deck perfectly for short sessions. There's a lot of content and it also has workshop support.”

“Really fun 1-button Shoot'Em Up.”

“Cool shmup with lots of unlockables to make your ship(s) overpowered in the vein of Tyrian and a Gradius-like power-up system. If the game gets locked at 30FPS, changing the graphics quality fixes it.”

“Amazing racing game that feels less arcadey than most of the isometric racers out there. Looks great on the Deck.”

“Great Shoot Them Up with a very unique artstyle. Pretty easy to 1CC on default starting rank. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Pretty fun action-platformer that's much easier than its inspiration. Just don't expect a lot of content. Works perfectly on the Deck.”

“Kind of like a fastpaced Q-bert with much more freedom of movement and powerups. It's pretty great and challenging if you wanna get the V rank on every map. Works perfectly out of the box.”

“Pretty fun run & gun that looks good. Would be better if there was an arcade mode with lives/credits + some scoring mechanics instead of a freaking timer though.”

“Fun game that can get quite frustrating at times. Perfect for short sessions on the Deck, especially if you're into beating your own times etc...”

“Very fun party/sports game with lots of variety. Obviously better suited for local multiplayer (or remote play together) than for singleplayer but still fun against the CPU. Works perfectly,”

“Maybe the best in the Strikers 1945 trilogy and totally one of the best games from Psikyo.”

“Very cool experimental 3D platformer with interesting mechanics and multiple ways to finish the stages. It can feel a little janky but it's free so just try it if you're interested. Works perfectly.”
