>Switch only

Well shit

>>13856583

This update is switch only but all the others and the game itself is available on 3ds

Can the nintendo shill just kill himself already?

>>13856112

It's a pretty great game, but weapon energy lock was a huge fucking mistake and makes shit easy mode.

Also paid DLC means that the developers should consider jumping in front of the shinkansen, and ensures that they'll never see a cent from anyone with a brain.

While I'm happy the DLC was free for two weeks when it launched I agree there's no excusing paid DLC

Thanks OP for reminding me I have to beat this game.

>Not having a hacked 3DS

smh tbh famicom :3

>>13856356

Lol TL;DR

Here's my superior take:

<Music is worse than the original's; can't remember any of it

<Story is worse than nothing (I must go to the next area and also bond with The Girl!). Bonding with The Girl in every area is required for the ending. Lore fags will enjoy the plot being an unholy fusion of the Famicom game, the NES game, and its children's novelization for some reason

>You can get hit in overhead and not have your gun immediately turn to shit. Guns have different uses and can be switched between

<Overhead gameplay consists of getting the max-power gun and murdering everything

<Have to beat game to unlock hard mode

>Looks nice with extra color and animation despite overhead Jason looking kind of shitty

<Jason is a faggy anime teen genius inventor instead of an All-American Hero™. Still less gay than Gunvolt with his ponytail and bare midriff

>Wall cling is activated manually so you can roll off ledges without sticking

>Most of the caves have an item or upgrade to make them not totally meaningless

>Can be easily pirated on 3DS

Still the most enjoyable game in the series by virtue of being all right and not having limited continues

>>13856952

Never

>>13856112

I'd rather see a sequel.

>>13856952

Butt ravaged.

>>13857342

Wait a minute, that bulge…

Thanks for reminding me this game exists. I didn't get it when it came out because it wasn't on the freeshop, and installing games the other way is a pain for me right now, then I forgot about it.

It's pretty shit, anon. Straightout honest:

- Sophia is a walking pill box and Destroyer/Hard Mode does not fix this. Enemies are piss-easy to take down and don't pose any kind of threat, platforming or swarming. Infinite/regen weapon energy means you will win no matter what.

- The controls are stop-on-a-dime tight. Instead of just fixing Wall1/Wall2, they took the "tank" out of controlling your tank so you have to try to lose.

- All of the bosses are fuck-easy and/or are cut scene fodder with no real threat value

- Story is generic anime 70s shit so I can't hate it there. The girl is a waste of meta and can be ignored the entire game—she offers nothing of value and isn't deep enough a personality to care about her

- Soundtrack is fucking awful, full stop. That's not even trying to compare to the original, which it can't.

Don't spend shit on it, don't pirate it. Just play the original.

>>13856356

>Just like the original game you are a little dude named JASON in a big ship/tank named SOPHIA III. Sophia gets various upgrades that allow you to access new areas. You'll be exploring and back tracking to find these upgrades and areas. You'll fight bosses in Sophia and outside of her to actually attain the upgrades. You are able to exit Sophia at most any time and run around for further exploration. There are a bunch of rooms that you can only access on foot that take the game from a side scroller to top down movement over your character. These areas have you exploring more to locate maps, items, and upgrades. Most, but not all, of the bosses are found in these top down sections.

>Both SOPHIA and JASON are equipped with a standard gun but can attain firepower upgrades and more primary and secondary weapons to use, as well as permanent health additions.

Anon, this is not a review exposition. It's just a list of abilities you can perform with the game's avatars.

>>13856156

If you don't 100% the game when clearing it then your peepee will get sad.

>>13856112

Why don't you just play the superior original game?

why did you link an archive of the dev post instead of the real thing? not like they generate income from clicks.

>>13857482

Sure thing, hope you enjoy

>>13857711

Would you have preferred I slathered my opinion all over it?

>>13857852

Habit

>>13858526

It's not a switch exclusive

>>13858532

But you wouldn't play inferior version would you?

>>13857977

>Would you have preferred I slathered my opinion all over it?

That's usually the core point of a review.

>>13866887

Oh I thought it was to review the game and it's contents

>>13866887

>I need other people to tell me how to think about something

Explaining the core systems of a game in an unbiased manner not good enough for you, soyboy?

>>13856935

Unless I'm misremembering, you get the true ending if you grab all upgrades. There isn't even a mechanic in the game to bond with her.
