G-Darius HD is a remaster of Taito's 1997 arcade shoot 'em up, a side-scrolling shooter built around capturing enemy ships with the Capture Ball and turning their attacks against them. The Switch version adds HD visuals, a widescreen mode and a rewind feature, while keeping the branching stage routes and the two-player co-op of the original. It suits genre veterans and arcade purists more than casual players, since the difficulty is steep and the presentation is faithful rather than modernised. Compared with other Switch shmup ports it is a solid but niche package, with fewer extras and less polish than M2's releases.
