I really want to get one but I have a Switch cover that also prevents me from re moving the joycons. Plus I would have to remove the case itself if I wanted to use these. Shoot.

Vertical grip accessory for the Switch is being funded on Kickstarter

Yeah I got the email too:

Sounds promising. Now if only they get the tables back lol.
I imagine a lot of these older games probably get 6 hours on the battery (or more), so you should be fine, but you do need to plan ahead it seems and begin with a healthy charge.
If you think Jeremy Parish would be the frontman for a product that is a scam or won't ever come out, I can't help you.
Parish partnering with Fangamer. I don't think you have anything to worry about (and Fangamer has done more ambitious KS projects than this and delivered on those).
This is a perfectly acceptable point of view (and warranted most of the time), but just thought I would let you know that Mr Parish said they are already going to the manufacturer to get the molds made since the Kickstarter was funded. They just wanted to ensure the funding came through before going ahead with production.
"Wary." It would make you slightly apprehensive. "Wary." Not weary, which means tired.
This is becoming almost as ubiquitous as "on accident" but not nearly as weird as "heighth"
I'm being a little facetious, but I'm still waiting on my Retronauts DVD from the Kickstarter several years ago.
Been watching this for awhile since Jeremy first posted pics, glad to see it getting support. The more people are made aware of and easily able to play games in TATE the better! And that comes from someone who used to flip his 20 inch CRT on its side back in the early/mid 2000s just to play Saturn and PS2 shmups in TATE.
I use the Hori Switch stand all the time for shmups and ACA titles and it's awesome but I'm still going to get one of these as it'd be nice to also play in TATE when kicked back and relaxing on the couch or on a road trip.
The Capcom Classics PSP collections had fully remappable controls for both the D-pad and analog nub which was awesome. I would remap the dpad controls and mapped shot/bomb to different directions on the nub and it worked great on games like Varth and 1941. In fact, the first time I ever played all the way through Varth (which is a ridiculously long shmup with many levels) was on my PSP in TATE using this method. I can't imagine having played through it in claw grip mode like Star Soldier, odd other PSP TATE shmups didn't allow button remapping.

I used to love playing Star Soldier PSP in TATE mode.

Yup. Same for me.. just picked up Ikaruga, and I'll likely get the Namco Museum
And… backed! I already have Danmaku Unlimited 3 and Strikers 1945 II, and I'll buy Donkey Kong for sure once I receive the grip. I'll keep an eye out on the new games using vertical mode in the future. Perhaps it would be good to have an OT that lists all vertical compatible games down the road...
Just backed it after flipping Ikaruga into Tate over the weekend. It looks amazing. $15 is an excellent price.
Its very interesting that you can still filp it in the other way, even if it will not be stuck. Like im planning to use it for Pinball Arcade, if they dont do an update to turn the screen the other way.
They have a list of compatible games on the Kickstarter page, as I recall. Any game that lets you rotate in portrait mode so the headphone jack is in the upper-left corner will be fine.
Let's not overlook "welp" and "whelp" being interchangeably bad replacements for "well" - My favorite is the classic "I could care less" Some people have no idea that not being able to care less is the whole point of the original saying.

I missed the campaign. I definitely want one of these though. Vertical mode and shmuppin is something I adore. Plus it may lure in good ol Cave to fire up the port machine and start sending over some of their vertical dodonpachi and Mushihime goodness. Ah who am I kidding...I mainly would hope for Pink Sweets and Ibara.
It looks so gooood.
They also mentioned in the update that video accompanied that there's been a month's delay in the expected release date given time spent tweaking the design and the storms that have been hitting around China recently, which is more than fair enough.
I also wanted to mention how much I love the little mascot, Flippy. As soon as the project launched it was like "cool, they've come up with a cute little Disk-kun style mascot for it" which was an idea I really liked, but actually seeing him on the production sample there is adorable.
Really looking forward to getting back into some ACA Donkey Kong when this arrives

Did you get an email? Last thing I got was the address check.
Does it do anything electronically?
I mean there have been similar models for a while in 3d model repositories like thingiverse. You could have one printed for very little and test it. I need to take a look if those models fit on my printer. But mine is on the smaller size.

Yep, got the address check yesterday and the shipping email today.
Well I printed my own thing like this a year ago, and I use it for:
1945 Strikers
1945 Strikers 2
Danmaku
All Arcade Archives and Psikyo releases
Danmaku Unlimited 3

Those are just off the top of my head. Downwell is coming eventually and I am SO pumped to play that in vertical orientation
