Stargazer

Love this game. Bring it on. Can't wait for Streets of Rage 2

Ha. Can you imagine Nintendo trying to crank out games that quickly? We'd still be on Prison of Azkaban.

I loved this game, but the slowdown drove me nuts. A remastered release would be awesome.

Insta-buy!

@rjejr

Yep. It either freezes or something in the game world glitches(character gets stuck or switch fails to activate or something that is supposed to happen doesn't) and you have to restart a mission in order to progress.

Lego Marvel is awful. The framerate is abysmal in co-op, the game glitches or locks up at least once every 2 hours, and the puzzles are constant, boring, and recycled ad nauseum

I completely fail to see what was so daunting about creating these Smash rehashes. The template is already in place. There was nothing ambitious about the single player mode, and no one seems to care about the new secondary modes

Had NES. Subbed to Nintendo Power. Lamented having to restart this damn game from 1-1 countless times. Never knew this.

@MeloMan This is essentially aping the name and trying to appeal to our nostalgia.

I love this game. Even if it's too damn short.

I always preferred Space Megaforce but this was one of my favorite SNES shmups.

4 hours. I was afraid of that. Probably 2 or 3 for those of us who don't go for 100%

@Spoony_Tech - same here. I played Mudds a decent amount just because the 3D effect was so new and shiny, but it certainly wasn't great. I'm afraid this game will be one of those 1/4 finished Metroidvanias that lasts 2 hours and has one boss fight, but I'd like to be wrong.

Who cares. The game gets boring after an hour anyway.

Edit: Well, the original did, anyway.

It's a decent little platformer. It had performance issues on iOS as well so no surprise there.

So this is why the 3DS' top screen gets scratched. And the paint peels. And general build shoddiness.

@mudmask - Sadly, no. Metal Warriors did a lot of things right and I still loved it, but it was missing the awesome music and overall atmosphere that Cybernator has.

@S3OL What didn't you like about POP? I have only played a few levels but I love what I played.

Cybernator is one of my all-time favorite games. It has aged beautifully.

This is one of my favorite games of all time.

@MojoBones

There seems to be something a little off with the 3D effect. Sometimes it messes with my eyes on the right side of the screen. I'm not sure if I'm just tilting the system on accident or what...anybody else experiencing this?

I do not understand why people like these games. Is this the first auto-runner that you've played? The first one was incredibly dull.

I imported this but didn't have the patience to get through the detective game even with a guide. The action-based titles are great, though.

@BertoFlyingFox

I haven't gotten super far but I assume some levels have a power up that fits that description.

I don't know what control options you need. Movement is on analog or d-pad, B jumps, Y shoots, L button changes weapons, minus button changes views, right analog moves the camera a bit for the zoomed in view.

The 'needless tips' try to take advantage of the dual screen set-up. You can use the zoomed in view exclusively if you like.

If you can show me a flash game with gameplay mechanics this good and level design this clever then please let me know. Everything seems to be designed with the utmost care to me.

For a remake of a mediocre game it is a bit too expensive. The only thing the original had going for it was a nice atmosphere and the remote control vehicle thing.

Yeah, the music is great.

This game is very simple yet can be very addictive and mesmerizing. I think it's worth the $2, and the 2-player mode is fun.

I agree the jdarrell that the framerate could stand to be smoothed out a bit but it's not that bad.

Wow, this is awesome. Pikmin 3 or Wind Waker HD....hmmmmm.

Maybe some talk about the graphics, 3D effect, and sound would have been nice. Unless I missed that somewhere.

@Cathousemaster Yes, it would.

I'd also love to see the overworld scrolling smoothed out but I'll take what I can get.

I was actually hoping you'd release this on Vita and make use of the rear touch pad. I think it would work nicely (with front touch options as well, of course).

@accc You can hop in as a second player and do it that way and just move player 1 to the edge of the screen. Still dumb.

Also, you can't pause during the pollination sections. Pretty amateurish stuff.

I got this because I really liked the Wii version and wanted to support the dev. I am baffled that you can't use Wii remote controls in single player. Maybe they will patch it, but with the no-doubt low sales I don't see it happening.

Don't dismiss Flowerworks, folks. It's a seriously great game.

It is no joke that Flying Hamster is absolutely one of my favorite shmups in recent years. Check it out on Vita / psp / ios if you haven't already. I assume it's on Steam for cheap, too.

Great game! Hopefully more people will notice it this time around.

Killer Instinct 2 SNES....finished but never released? Wrrrrrrrrryyyyy

This could be amazing and hilarious as a movie. I thought This Is The End was damn funny.

I liked both. The Genesis version had the better graphics, animation, and music. But the SNES version, imo, is more fun to play and has held up better over the years gameplay-wise.

I can't believe that some people are still sticking their heads in the sand. And apparently want others to actually shove their heads in the sand.

I really liked this one on Wiiware. Agreed about the difficulty issues as mentioned by Reala

Loved this game. I still love this game.

I enjoyed the sequel as well (so pretty) but I never beat it. It was too damn hard, and I missed the world-building aspects.

Hope it comes over. I am shmup-starved on 3DS.

I'm sure it will be great, but I have it on 3DS.

New games please

I'll be buying this. Thanks for supporting Wii U Blugrave.

Day one for me too

@JaxonH Shin'en may as well try their hand at a rail shooter while they're at it. Scar Effects? Cluster Rocks? Stare Box?

2D shmup please! I'm dying here! Preferably one with lots of power-ups and stuff.

@MojoBones

Nice to see you here! I knew you guys sounded familiar and I just realized that you made Tongue Tied. That game is great. Hope to try this one out soon.

Clever, and looks pretty. I'm in.

Giana is pretty cool. Be warned that although it's beautiful, the framerate isn't terribly smooth. Could definitely be more pretty in motion, a la Rayman.

And they haven't patched in the fact that there's no gamepad audio. Supposedly they were working on this last September but it never got done.

LOUD NOISES
