Darius in the arcades being a horizontal shoot'em-up spanning over 3 screens, and Darius II being over 2 screens, previous ports of Darius have been one-screen versions. With the resolution available for 8th generation machines, the Switch port is a near-perfect arcade port, showing all screens in a band over the TV screen, with the upper and lower parts being extra info and the old stickers that were taped to the arcade machines.
