Looking for More Options

After writing yet again about Gradius (and other games I cheat to beat) on Tuesday, I did a dangerous little bit of research--I looked up whether any other sequels or spinoffs were available for systems I owned. I had exhausted the options available for the Wii Virtual Console and still wanted just a little bit more, in part because Gradius III was a bit disappointing coming off of Gradius II, and in part because I'm officially hooked.

C'mon, you should be happy I'm not talking about Mega Man for a change.

As it turns out, there's another Game Boy game I recall passing up some years ago, and there's a Game Boy Advance game I wasn't aware of. There's also a WiiWare title called Gradius ReBirth that had been waiting for download all this time. Silly me, only searching the Wii Shop channel for older games from different systems, rather than new games made specifically for the one I own.

And that's the reason you don't have a real post today.
