Worse version of Mega Man X

Actually a lot of fun. Controls tight

It's quirky and creative but it's also just not that good? Plays poorly, rough level design

Like most of the N64 it just aged poorly. It's playable I guess

I mean it's no Gunstar Heroes but it's one of the best Run n Guns on the GBA

Cute fun with solid controls, but not groundbreaking or particularly standout

Level design takes a step back compared to the OG F-Zero, and honestly doesn't feel any better to play. Still good and fun, but not the cream of the F-Zero crop

The premier vertical shmup. The color switching mechanic allows for very cool bullet patterns that aren't impossible to dodge, and it's just really great arcadey fun all the way through

This is so sick

Ditto thoughts as base game, just played on switch

Duplicate thoughts as the SNES release

Tetris

Best NES shmup

Double Dragon 2 and River City Ransom are easily better, but still just play your beat-em-ups somewhere else

Impressive shmup for '85, but the difficulty feels way too rough combined with how slow you move
