    Glad I came across this video. I can only play on a PC so my only option is getting CS but I'm glad to know I'm not missing out much from new rereleases.

    While I enjoy DariusBurst I really didn’t expect to be hearing about it for over 12 years. The PS4 version was pretty cool but damn that savior mode is hard as fuck!
  • @kaiwenli8075
    It's great to see a video like this talking about dariusburst, very well done!
  • Great summary of the complex line of DB games. It’s weird, I consider myself a big Darius fan, yet this is how I’m just now finding about Dariusburst CS Core. I mainly play the Steam CS port. Got it and all the DLC on a seriously good sale bundle a while back. AC mode on Switch is fun, but man, playing 32:9 in 720p handheld mode is tough. Great vid. Keep going after that thing called tuna sashimi, down with the Belsar army.

    G darius still best because of the capture ball and Laser charge clash i feel like im watching gohan and cell kamehame ha clash.... every stage.... (MEDITATION)

    I think that the Ultimate combo is having CSCore on Switch and EX+ on PS4 (for better graphics), this way you have all the content minus Capcom and Cave DLCs. If you also have a PC, you can get the original CS on it to own all the DLCs and play it on 4k Ultrawide screens
  • This is awesome, came just in time for the last day of the stream sale. Good stuff!
  • I just got ACEX+ for my birthday after trying the cabinet with friends a while back. I didn’t do any research beyond a random review video so I came running to the internet when I started seeing cabinet select and high percentage completions in chronicle mode. I’m lucky you put this out so recently but man do wish I saw it before tearing off the shrinkwrap😂

    PSN has pretty deep discount sales on Darius CS Burst and the DLC often. I think I got the whole set for under $50. It also doesn’t get kneecapped in performance and visuals like it will on Switch
  • Started watching this at work. Looks really good man. Can't wait to get home and watch the rest.
  • @ironfossil9963
    Fair warning to all: If you were looking to liberate planets with a community, PS4 and PC are pretty much done now. I have no idea about Switch versions.
  • @davidhazuki
    Genuinely useful video. Thanks for making this!
  • @holy3051
    Now I'm even more confused than before. I have many things to think about.
  • @headman82
    This is the kind of video that needed to come with all versions of the game. I probably need to watch it a few times to learn all the differences.
  • @PersonaSama
    I'm a casual Dariusburst fan that got hooked on the series from the iOS game from all places, and this was the exact video I needed because I was getting confused, thank you lol Like my path was playing the iOS version ages ago > a little of the PSP > lots on the Vita > a long gap then the Switch so I was confused by the recent releases. This video really helps clear up the confusion!
  • @GameBoyGuru
    Excellent video! When it comes time to cover DariusBurst on my podcast, I might have to talk you into coming on as a guest, to help elucidate this for listeners, so we don't end up confusing everyone :D
  • @sprigganxiii9339
    Darius R on Gameboy Advance was released in 2002 Great video! Love this series - been playing since 1990 when I discovered a whole new library of games from Japan on PC Engine and got Darius Plus for christmas
