Chotesu Brikin'ger, also known as Ironclad, is a fantastic horizontal shooter that's pretty rare. It was released on Neo Geo CD only (one of the very few notable CD-only Neo titles, along with Crossed Swords 2 and Samurai Spirits RPG), which would be the first Neo CD release on Virtual Console. As for the game, it's total quality. It's in the class of Pulstar, Blazing Star, and Last Resort, and would certainly appeal to fans of those games (and of the Darius and Thunderforce series). <br><br>I'm crossing my fingers this does get a US release, and that's not crazily optimistic judging by how many other shooters come to the US on VC (even some "import only" titles like Gleylancer, Star Parodier, Cho Aniki, etc. Neo Geo

I feel many SaGa games get unfairly harped on because they're JRPGs, but they're very nonlinear. WRPGs are praised for nonlinearity, JRPGs are bashed for linearity...but when the opposite is true, they're bashed for being TOO nonlinear. <br><br>All my subjective views, of course. But I think the SaGa series is great - well, Unlimited is debatable - and I'm happy to see SE putting these classics up. Even if it's just for Japan.
