Side scrolling Xevious?

Is this the first Sunsoft game for the VC? Maybe they will put out Blaster Master and Batman

One can only hope

Super Fantasy Zone (Also coming soon) was also developed by Sunsoft, so we should be seeing more Sunsoft games soon.

Good, because the gaphics on this sort of... suck.

@Tony - I would love to see Batman. Blaster Master too...

Haha, I love the American cover art. So incredibly unfitting for such a cute game.
Never was a big fan of this, though. It's okay-ish.

when i was a young kid, i used to play games based on the packaging artwork alone. if it looked cartoony, I'd play it. if it looked grown up and serious, i wouldn't.

My favorite NES game!! Woo-hoo!!

This is suposed to be 'The Legendary Red Baron'?! If the late Herr von Richthofen could see this he'd do barrel-rolls in his grave, I tell you

Even in times of the NES there would have been better way to honor WW1's reckless heroes in theyr flying coffins.

Well, the Red Baron didn't bomb the Statue of Liberty or fight off Alien UFOs, did he? This is a very fun game, unconcerned with the realities of war and aerial combat.

Well, I don't know about UFOs (maybe 'foo-fighters' were not only a phenomena of WW2?), but I think it's safe to say that no hunting airplane in WW1 was able to cross the atlantic ocean to attack Lady Liberty on it's own.

1942 or Sky Shark this is not:(
Maybe soon

One of my favorite NES (and arcade) games... I remember playing this with my dad quite a bit as a kid. I think I'll be getting some points later today to get this guy.

Horrible review, I usually agree but this is horrible. Game should have 4/5 stars.

"Is this the first Sunsoft game for the VC?"
This is from Namco.

this is a very good arcade game in a decent port. 4/5 stars.

You're fine to disagree with my score, but all reviewers here pretty much agree that this game isn't worth it anymore.

Another really good review

looks like it has a fun co-op.

I've been looking for a WW1 game.

This is one of those many titles that if you played it as a kid, you'll have fond memories of it today. However if this is your first time playing it.....you'll probably find that it seems dated and repetitive.

I just discovered that there are 26 different levels, and if you destroy the mother ship on the final stage you get a "happy ending." Levels 8,16, and 24 are the bonus target levels.

Also there is a hidden continue feature. After you die, if you hold left and down on controller two at the title screen and hit start on controller one, you'll start from the last level you died on.

This review did not do this game justice. I had so much fun playing this game with my dad or a friend. It is a fun arcade game that is one of the better 2 player co-op experiances that doesnt take up your whole afternoon. The music is damn catchy though. It is a good laugh when your buddy crashes into the enemy base or ship!

so much for the Virtual Console's triumphant return...

Unless you just have fond memories of this from the 8-bit era, you'd probably better pass. This game gets repetitive very quickly. I think a 2/5 was fairly generous. And this is coming from someone who actually owned this game back in the NES days.

I disagree with the review!!!
It's my fave Namco game (ya, thats right, more than Pac-Man), and it plays perfectly, has unique ideas, and is loads of fun.

OMG you go left!!!

Ok I just played this game yesterday with a friend and we had so much fun. Seriously this game is great for two players so you better have a friend around
