http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/gleylancer-cg-may16-093932-main99.jpg (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/friday)This current Hanabi Festival (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/hanabi-festival) is proving a treat for shmup fans. Of the ten games released so far under the Hanabi banner, half have been shooters, including the two released today, Japan-only pair Star Parodier (in which you can use Bomberman or a giant PC Engine as a ship!) and Gley Lancer. They're joined this VC Friday (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/friday) by Digital Champ Battle Boxing.
Oh, and fun fact: the name Gley Lancer was (allegedly) supposed to be "Grey Lancer," but ended up as Gley Lancer due to a pronunciation error (the Japanese language can't tell the difference between the English "r" and "l" sounds). Either that, or we've just been duped into believing a rather racist joke.
Gley Lancer -- Mega Drive -- 900 Wii Points
Star Parodier -- TurboGrafx-16 -- 900 Wii Points
Digital Champ Battle Boxing -- TurboGrafx-16 -- 700 Wii PointsAs usual, footage of all games follows the break!
