This version rather difficult, so I dropped it in favour of the EU and JP versions. However, no fight is worse than this bizarre. Thus, you need to discover the right route to the final stage while quickly clearing each stage, though some de-routes are convenient for replenishing items. It was originally released for the PlayStation console and ported in 2006 as part of Gradius Collection for the PlayStation Portable. To be honest, any of the fights from Ninja Gaiden 3 can make this list as that game is often seen as a blight on the series. If this was a little before your time, try it out and see what video games are all about. Gradius Gaiden includes the Lord British Space Destroyer from Salamander and two (relative) newcomers: the Jade Knight and the Falchion (a variation of the ship from the Famicom Disk System game Falsion ). The game climaxes with the usual boss rush one of the toughest parts of the game, of course as well as a speed up zone, a bipedal robot with rocket powered skates, and a final boss that puts on an impressive light show while cycling through images of bosses from Gradius ’ past. As you blast and avoid, you are equipped with two weapons, both. The aim is to blast or avoid the various aliens that move around the screen to finally face the final boss Rafflesia. This started a domino effect which ended in the colonies around Gradius attacked and most of the planets army in ruins. But one day, a science vessel disappeared into the Evil Range nebula. Its 200 years into the future and Gradius is prospering. Players still collect cards for completing various challenges. The Gradius Gaiden Original Game Soundtrack is probably the most diverse of the Gradius scores but also probably the most rounded. Evil lurks out there in the universe - even after you defeated the Bacterian forces. I know that sounds absurd, but blame capcom for forcing you to use in game items LMAO 15 Jonesdeclectice 23 hr. So if you're a veteran gamer ( up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start) then this is a must. The Boss stages are also the same in that you have to defeat the boss before your rival does. How’d you beat the final boss with just the buster CrossFitJesus209 1 day ago Technically you’re forced to use bubble man’s weapon and obv wily stage 4 with crash, and items for stage 1, but otherwise it’s buster only.

Granted, each game on this disc has a beginning and end, but the replay value of each is out the roof! The graphics are NOT state of the art and the soundtrack isn't something you'd want in your car audio system but that's okay because you're still going to be seeing it in your sleep (Tetris anyone?) and hearing it in your head. Gradius Collections is a step in that direction if you're looking for a little gaming nostalgia. Remember when video games were good? Remember when it took a little more skill and a few less buttons to play? Remember when they were a little less sophisticated but a lot more fun? Pac Man? Space Invaders? Defender? They didn't have "final bosses" but you were still driven to play until your arms cramped and your hands were numb.
