About The Game
Get ready for high-speed 2D side-scrolling action combined with deep storytelling!
Gunvolt's supercharged saga strikes onto the Nintendo Switch!
Azure Striker Gunvolt Striker Pack brings the electrifying 2D side-scrolling action games "Azure Striker Gunvolt" and "Azure Striker Gunvolt 2", which previously made their home on the Nintendo 3DS, onto the Nintendo Switch in one single package.
In "Azure Striker Gunvolt", you take control of Gunvolt's high-speed mobility and repertoire of electrical attacks to make short work of your enemies. As an "adept" who possesses supernatural "septimal powers," Gunvolt fights for the freedom of the nation from the tyrannical rule of the massive conglomerate known as the Sumeragi Group and the invasion of a super-powerful group of adepts known as Eden.
Azure Striker Gunvolt's deep storyline plays out both during breaks in the action and in the thick of battle too! Featuring a robust cast of characters that are fully voiced (in Japanese) and over 25 vocal tracks performed by characters in the game, the world of Gunvolt provides excitement at every turn.
The Nintendo Switch version also features a slew of upgrades from the 3DS version, including a 60 FPS upgrade, upgraded UI, high-resolution event graphics, the entire DLC catalog from the 3DS version pre-loaded into the game, a brand new vocal track from the character Lumen, AKA "The Muse," HD Rumble compatibility, and more!

I purchased this Mega Man clone game at the time because I hadn't heard any news about a Mega Man setup for Switch at all, it is a re-release of 1 & 2, but the games as a whole are very disappointing, gameplay controls can get clumsy, the attempt at story is so pathetic, they just should have left it at "you're good, they bad...sick em !!!", the levels are boring as heck, the bosses are pathetic, there was more challenge in Mega Man 2 for the NES, it was just highly disappointing.
this game costs $40 new, but if you really want this, go to a certain used game mega-chain or some used game sales online and pay no more than $20
This game is amazing. The Switch Port isn’t the best port in the world (touch screen to switch, sprites aren’t all that improved, etc.) but it’s still fun. Absolutely pick it up. Gunvolt 2 is also the better game in my opinion.
