| - | * Sniper Honeyviper: A really weird horizontal shooter with an [[game:r-type_series|R-Typian]] detatchable pod, set in an alternate-history 1920s eastern Europe with [[theme:mecha_games|mecha]]. The graphics could be described as an Impressionist //[[game:donkey_kong_country_series|Donkey Kong Country]]// with lots of industrial grunge. Released on the Wii's Virtual Console. | + | * Sniper Honeyviper: A really weird [[genre:shooters#Horizontal Shooter|horizontal shooter]] with an [[game:r-type_series|R-Typian]] detatchable pod, set in an alternate-history 1920s eastern Europe with [[theme:mecha_games|mecha]].

| + | * Felix: Objectively it's probably the best game in the series. I have a lot of affection for the original because I can 1cc it, but this game has more varied level design and is better balanced for co-op. As Rudie said, 3 gets to be a bit much, even though it is grandiose and spectacular. | ||

| - | *T.: I'm one of like three people whose favorite sort of [[genre:shooter|STG]] are brutally difficult hori memorizers, so this is an obvious favorite. It helps that unlike //[[game:Rayxanber 2]]// or //[[game:Rezon]]// it's absurdly gorgeous. Time it took to beat (playing a few credits daily): a bit over 2 months. | + | *T.: I'm one of like three people whose favorite sort of [[genre:shooters|STG]] are brutally difficult [[genre:shooters#Horizontal Shooter|hori]] memorizers, so this is an obvious favorite.

| * The Blueberry Hill: Basically, it's a //[[game:Pong]]// update. With the significant changes being the ability to catch the disc, multiple characters with differing strengths, and interesting shot options (like the ability to bend shots). It's a highly satisfying, speedy, and nuanced multiplayer game. And one of the system's best. It's also supported by [[software:GGPO]]! | * The Blueberry Hill: Basically, it's a //[[game:Pong]]// update.
