[DS] New Treasure Game For Nintendo DS Reve-it's Bangai-O Spirits

This is most likely an original title since it's being published under ESP, which is good. Pretty much all of their original titles are completely awesome anyway.

The only games it could be a sequel of are Bangai-O, Silhouette Mirage, Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, and maybe Stretch Panic. Or maybe they're bringing Gunbeat back from the dead!

Oh, and Ikaruga is awesome and Radiant Silvergun and Gradius 5 are lame.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

From some dude at shmups.com. Since Bangai-O is like the greatest thing ever I can't complain.

I have a feeling we won't be seeing 999 explosions at once this time around

You have to play the Saturn version of Silhouette Mirage. It is just so much more fun to play. You can actually screw around with more than the default weapon without any worry of running out of energy.

I will never touch the Working Designs release of that game ever again.

But it seems it's Bangai-O anyway, so maybe Silhouette Mirage next time.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Scan of the article, pictures included. Looks more like a sequel to the N64 verion than the Dreamcast to me, but who knows how it'll play. You can see a couple multiplayer screens and the level editor.

Some cool bosses wouldn't hurt.

Edit

Hmm, most of the screens have the two shot types listed as homing and bound, but two have bat in place of bound. There's also a direct instead of homing in one of them. More than two shot types this time? And a napalm shot? And there's actually four weapons listed up there and I just noticed now? Combining weapons like the original Gunstar Heroes?? Why do I keep editing this post?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Haha, did I use the wrong link? Still gave me Bangaioh! Should work now maybe?

I was speaking idiomatically.

You won't get it because Enix owns it

I don't think it's possible to change the controls of Mischief Makers without completely ruining the game. There's just grabbing, jumping and dashing. What's wrong with these controls?

FELIPE NO

It is out in Japan. It's called Bangai-O Spirits by the way.

It is also very different from the N64 and DC originals.

First off there is a tutorial mode. It is 17 levels with cutscenes before each stage explaining some game mechanics or something. It's not in English so they could be talking about muffins or something, they get very excited. Anyway, you beat those 17 levels you get credits. This will take you ten minutes and you'll be all waah?

Next you'll try the 2nd option on the main menu which is free play. Now you can choose from any of the 160 levels already in the game and have at her. Levels can be incredibly tiny (as big as the screen) to about the size of the maps in the original.

You are also given the option of loading yourself up with four weapons, two basic attacks and two counter attacks. You've got lots of different missle types, and a couple melee types. You will want to take the bat around with you because it sends shit flying all over the screen and is the best part of the game.

Anyway, the game is hard. Enemies have a lot more health then they did in the originals, and they shoot a lot more bullets. Shooting your regular guns is pretty much usless so you're going to be using your counter attack a lot to flood the screen with bullets. Like the N64 version you can charge your counter attack up before releasing it (up to 100 bullets), and if you release the counter when you're surrounded by enemy fire, you will release larger, more powerful bullets. They can get really big, it's pretty silly.

Oh, by the way, no ABXY controls. L is one counter, R is the other, B fires one of your guns, Y or X fires the other, and holding A makes you dash around. You cannot fire while dashing around. It works better than you think since you pretty much just counter bomb the crap out of everything or hit them with your bat.

Here's something neat, pressing select opens up a little edit menu which lets you do pretty much anything you want to a stage, while you're playing it. You don't like that enemy in front of you? Just erase him. Not enough enemies? Add more. Put a couple soccer balls all over the screen and smash them with your bat and watch all hell break loose if you want.

There's also the level editor where you can make your own levels from scratch and save them. You can then copy a sound wave of the map and share it with anyone through the mic on the DS. After you beat a level it will also ask if you want to save the replay and these can be shared the same way.

Anyway, you'll have to try it and see for yourself. It's very different.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
