Lately, not on the Switch. The entire Johnny Turbo's Arcade line, featuring middling emulations of Data East arcade titles, has recently been purged from the eShop. Golem's Retroclassix, also featuring Data East titles like Heavy Barrel and Bad Dudes, has similarly been excised from Nintendo's online store....
