Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Well, I'm not sure what exactly has been rated.
Though I really desperately would like to get my hands on Donkey Kong Country (which is available in Europe, right?), Yoshi's Island and Kid Icarus.
Well, I suppose two out of three isn't bad.
Damn that asshole I let borrow my copy of Donkey Kong Country.
Gradius is awesome. Hard, but awesome. Someday, I'll know what comes after those damned Easter Island statues.
And for starting out so weak, it feels completely badass to fly around with lasers, missiles, and three options. I missed out on a lot of shmups as a kid (they always looked too hard), but the VC is making me a big fan.
Lots of awesome SNES games coming up.
EVERYONE needs to download Hagane: The Final Conflict. It's one of the most balls to the walls awesome ninja games ever made. It's in the far future and you're a cyborg ninja that destroys thousands of bad guys. The gameplay is like a cross between Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Spirit. You've got a grappling hook, grenades, a fire sword that you don't even have to stop moving to use, shuriken, various special attacks. The enemy and boss design is great as is the sadistic and involving level design. Freaking awesome game. I cannot say enough about how good it is. It has equally challenging (rather than cheap) platforming and action happening simultaneously.
It got released in the US but was put out in somewhat small quantities, I've actually only ever seen it in person a few times. A couple of years ago I just imported the Super Famicom cartridge because it's the exact same game but dirt cheap.
This game is one of Hudon's finest moments outside of their Turbo library.
I just dug through my SNES carts because Hagane sounded so familiar. I found it but it didn't have the subtitle part, just Hagane. I remember having a blast with that game though.
Weird storyline. You're the last of the Fuma clan, the Holy Grail is captured by evil warlords and your family was charged to protect it. You're this dorman possessed cyborg that awakens "in the time of darkness when the pathway to armageddon opens."
In true classic game manner you can't know ANY of this from actually playing the game, it's in the manual. I wonder what the Japanese storyline was.
It's notable that the game was developed by Red specifically (Bonk series, Gungrave, etc.).
Hagane is indeed an awesome (and fantastic-looking) game you definately don't want miss. And from all I remember, it's also hard as hell.
I heard Military Madness is out for VC? Damn, my brother phoned me about this game back in the day and ordered me to buy it the second it hits store.
I'm beginning to think this could be a nasty money sink. I've already spent almost all of my first 2000 points. :o
Yeah. I was really worried I was remembering it through nostalgia-covered glasses, but it is everything I remember it to be. Fucking awesome music, too. Although, I am pretty sure I didn't have this much trouble on Drac back in the day.
Was that Hagane game released in NA? I've never heard of it, but it looks really cool.
Now Playing: Zelda: Skyward Sword, Jetpack Joyride, Shadows of the Damned
Currently Anticipating: Mass Effect 3
Though watch out, the Bard's a dick.
Like I said earlier, it was released but not in mass quantities.
Poasting from Wii now... The internet in the opera browser is nice and fast... but the wii shop channel and system updates are slow as hell.
I wonder what the deal is?
Happens to me as well, my Forecast and Internet channels are fine, but the Shop channel runs really slowly and ocasionally will get stuck on the 'Connecting, please wait' screen(meaning I need to pull the plug, as for some crazy reason you can't press Home from that screen)
My theory is that it just happens when the Shop is really busy...
Unless the VC version of this game is buggy in some way, it should adjust the speed of your ship.
:^:
I have the original game on my NES. It's one of the only shmups I can actually beat using only 1 life.

We've had data for weeks now.
Comix Zone, Bonanza Bros and Gain Ground. No word if anything else though.
They're Sega titles.
You'd do good to get Comix Zone. 2D Beat-Em-Up set in a comic book world.
You don't recognize Comix Zone? D: Oh god.
yes, didn't you visit a target 10 years ago? well more like 11-12.
And by comic book world, he means just that. You have to literally break comic panel sides to get to the next panel. It is awesome.
After all, the shop page and screenshots of Super Mario Bros. didn't even show up until the week before it was going to be released.
