I perked up after I heard that this was the first Japan-only Virtual Console game in the states, but I really wasn't too excited about it at first. In fact, my initial thoughts on it were "I hope this means we get 'Mother' soon". The 20% import extra price didn't get me too enthusiastic about buying it either, but in the end, I did. I love it.
MY interest increased after I heard that it was made by Treasure, which I became a fan of after downloading Dynamite Headdy and Gunstar Heroes. I looked into it and got more and more interested with the information I had on it. So I though "I just bought some points, why not?", and got it. It was just what the doctor ordered. IT was fast paced, challenging, and the plot was impossible to understand the first time around (this is a plus in Draconland). I recommend. The only issue is that on easy mode, it'll probably take 3 hours to beat. The gap in difficulty from one mode to the next is pretty huge, whether you take that as good or bad I leave up to you. Also, if you don't like over-the-top action (the final boss is a planet. Yes, a planet), then maybe you don't want it.
I say yes. Does anyone else have it?
