Today's VC release is Darius Twin from the SNES. Can anybody who has played it give us some impressions?

Ash: Professor Oak, how's your Bulbasaur?
Prof. Oak: Oh, it only hurts when I sit.
...
Prof. Oak: It's only Chansey if Krabby won't let go. Bye, now.
Ash: I don't think I'm going to call him anymore.

My Nintendo: Katara

I've never played it but it looks cool. Wasn't there an Nes shooter also that had bosses resembling sea creatures?
The name escapes me.

It basically screams mediocre in all areas. Given the number of shooters on the VC you'd have to be pretty hard up to get it.

I'm a big fan of the series, and the game. If you've got a friend who can keep up with the madness, sumultaneous two-player puts this in a class by itself. It does suffer from flicker, and slow-down at times, but still worth the price, in my opinion.

I prefer the Genesis over the SNES for my shooters, but when I saw this came out today, I had to have it. I've already taken it for a test spin with a pally, and it's still intense. Make sure one of you knows the difference between the power up colors, so you can both benefit.

It's not a bad shooter, but it's pretty bland. The only thing it really has going for it is co-op play.

Are there any better SHMUPS on the VC that are about as easy as this one?

I'd go with either Star Parodier or Blazing Lazers.

Nah that's not the one. I remembered it was this one. It's called Zexyz. Never did figure out how you pronounce the name.

Notice how alot of the bosses are slightly similar to sea creatures. I still have this game in my closet. Good game.

You think thats a hard game name to pronounce, what about Zzyzzyxx?

Edgey, Gumshoe, Godot, Sissel, Larry, then Mia, Franziska, Maggie, Kay and Lynne.

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing happens!

@Oldgamesonly
It's a fun little platformer/shooter but kinda difficult. I had to use a Game genie to beat it when I was a kid.
I didn't have much patience back then.
