Overview
Description

Step into the shoes of a gunslinger tasked with protecting a bank from a gang of armed bandits. With twelve doors to monitor, you must time your shots perfectly to stop the outlaws before they fire back, while also handling dynamite threats and rescuing civilians for extra loot. The game blends fast reflexes with strategic door management, offering both solo and competitive multiplayer modes. Earn points by shooting gold, cutting ropes, and defusing dynamite, but beware of shooting innocent bystanders or mistiming your shots, which will cost you lives. Bank Panic delivers classic arcade intensity with simple controls and a high‑score chase that keeps players coming back for more.

Wild Guns is a classic side‑scrolling shooter that blends Old West aesthetics with futuristic technology. Players take on the role of bounty hunters battling outlaws, robots, and alien invaders across stylized desert towns. The game features tight co‑op action, split‑screen multiplayer, and a nostalgic pixel art style that still feels fresh on the Nintendo Switch.
