SNES Darius Twin

[YourAPussyBlad]

My names Darius ;L Coppyright ;)?

[Kingmaster64]

omg this nostalgiad the fucking shit out of me!!!

I never got any farther then lvl2 as a child but still loved to play with my father

[T3RRABYT3]

My dad owned this game like right when i was a toddler and i still have not beaten it.

[RichardHartl]

Wow, brings back memories of the 90's, being a kid

[pokemaster8956]

The birth of bullet hell games.

[tiakpark]

Oh, man. That's old school SNES music if I've ever heard it. Darius Twin was alright but Darius Gaiden is really where it's at.

[joaovictor1994]

1:18 ZOMG A GIANT ROBOTIC CLOWNFISH MIXED WITH A BETTA!!!

3:06 HOLY FUCK A GIANT ROBOTIC... Barracuda...?

[PhazonOmega]

The only time you will ever hear someone say, "Ugh! I hate space fish!"

And if you pump the lives up to max and put it on easy you can beat it! XD

[IggyHazard]

I love the soundtrack to this game!

[Jsidhu762]

yeah VC wew wew

[BloodRedFox2008]

Oh holy crap, I never even knew Super Nova was a sequel to this! Heck, I thought Super Nova was a standalone game for years. (parents bought it for me when I was five since I also liked playing Super R-Type.) I was checking out this video because Darius Twin just got released on the Virtual Console, and when I saw that ship I thought "oh wait, where have I seen that before? ...SUPER NOVA!"

I love playing Super Nova, so chances are good that I'll download this sometime in the future.

[DeadfastShadow]

man you move alot :0 especially with the Angel fish. that could get a man shot down on Planet Darius :3

[TheTouchofPoison]

I sucked so bad at this game lmfao.

[darthveda]

So the trick to beating this game is that the HI SCORE area of the screen is a relatively safe area outside of boss battles. Very little goes there. It's also a pretty easy game anyways.

[KissMeImPunk]

What was the other shmup Taito came out with? It's sorta like this but you could choose between a green, red, and blue ship and you could choose to go to different areas labelled as letters. They had their own weapons and upgrades n such.

[ShiryuGL]

@KissMeImPunk Darius Twin / Super Nova. Search for "SNES Shiryu Darius Twin" in here and you will find my video of it. =)

[tjcco2005]

@KissMeImPunk You're thinkin about Darius II for Sega Genesis if I'm not mistaken. You started out on the Sun, and the rest of the area were different planets and you chose which area of the planet to go to by picking a letter

[windippy]

love this game the remake(i believe it was a remake im not sure) g darius game for playstation 1 was amazing also!!!

[latinopana]

i love this game and the song...

top gear 1 and 2.. i miss my snes lol

[melvoin]

I wasn't all that impressed with this game back in the day, but in retrospect it's quite a marvel compared to many of the early snes shooters. There is almost no slowdown, even when playing with 2 players.

[clickLOCKERZ]

OMG!!! I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS GAME. I LOVED IT on the SUPERNINTENDO. hahaha i was addicted to the weapon upgrades lolol good times

[TheMrSpam]

ive got the game on my nokia from the '90 s

[renderlogic]

awesome game for back in they. gotta love the robotic artworks!

[ClassicVideoGamerMag]

@renderlogic The games back then kicked-ass. They were full of creativity and imagination. :)

[kylwilson]

im with ya bros the 90s ruled I know i grew up with that time period wish i had a time machine go back get some real good games like this damn

[Templarofsteel18]

ah love this game ^^

[dariusmoi]

that not true but i luv this game 5/5

[dariusmoi]

i create that game :P do you like it?

[earel103]

i just bought this today on ebay for 5 bucks

[kohoki23]

Has anyone noticed that the Snes clearly has the highest ratio of games with good music, compared with every other console in history? Snes FTW. God i wish i was back in the 90s.....

[Pnaak]

Agreed.

I miss the 90s.

[kyoken666]

theres more games in this series? wich ones if i may ask? and for wat consoles?

[ShiryuGL]

Many more. Go to wipikepdia and search for "Darius (series)".

[jordanbird09]

ha, good game, i barely remember it. The music makes playing the game twice as fun

[BacklashStudiosWay]

This is the only level I could go thorugh without dying.

[amandaromero]

played this so much as a kid, but damn was it hard. I think I only beat the game all the way through once...crazy last level though

[khirikazu]

First Darius-game I played as a kid. I still love the game. and after that i fell in love with the rest of the series.

MUsiCS ROCK. The only best thing in this game. And ofcourse Silver Hawk's desing.

[MegaManZeroV1]

Darius was a lot of fun, but difficult as a kid. I remember being happy as hell when I found the extra lives code just so I could beat the game lol.

The music is amazing too, I still remember most of the songs to this day.

[xKillerxMxandxMx]

This was one of my fav games insanely hard I made it to the last stage but never made to the boss.

[iscream22]

HOLY CRAP! I remember this game when it first came out!  I was like ten! Thanks for the flashback ShiryuGL

[gs68]

A good shmup, but it pales in comparison to Darius Gaiden, G-Darius, and even Darius Force (which I absolutely refuse to call "Super Nova").

[3Dtrex]

look at the clouds' shapes

perverted, really

[thebonefish]

The SNES was the first system I had as a kid where the parents never screamed about "turning down that racket". That little box could crank some synth.

[XBLPaRoW]

This was the game that made me play it for hours.

[cleomagoolando]

It would be nice if the enemies who took more than one hit flashed when you registered a hit. I just ordered a copy of this and its SNES sequel, Supernova on Amazon for a really low price. I'm a huge fan of Darius Gaiden and G-Darius, which came out for PS2 as part of Taito Legends 2 not too long ago.

[Magicrazy1]

I can't think of a more fun or more involved game than Darius Twin, thank you ShiryuGL for bringing back my memories. this game is upstairs, sitting next to my Supernintendo, that I cannot seem to make work...

[benn454]

I still haven't beaten this game. -__-

[DemonOfRazgriz89]

@benn454 lol me either. such fond memories from waaay back in the late 90s playin this with my friend. we never beat it either D:

[dbz911us]

Anyone know of another space ship game that was a side scroller that went left to right and bottom to top?.. ik gradius didnt, nor did R-Type but there was another game i remember playing when i was little and i cant remember what it was... that did both

[xakeriah]

UN Squadron.

[roetemeteor]

I'm attempting to tab this. However, E scale Seem To be cutting it. Does anyone have any idea what scale the MIDI is in?

[LordValros]

I remember playing this a long time ago with my best friend at the time Cameron. I always remembered it. This vid is the first vid I saw of it and the first time I saw it in over 15 years. Thanks for the memories! The music is as good as I remember it.

[Pallandoii]

I remember this game. Along with Super Mario World (which was packaged with the SNES) this was the first SNES game I ever got, around when I was 5 or 6. Now all these years later I still haven't beaten it on the console itself.

I always played it for the music.

[dohler8]

i can beat this whole game without loseing 1 life if you want i can post a vid for you =)

[zeroskater1235]

this game is so hard i cant even beat this level with 8 lives and on easy

[MusijaeThe80sGirl]

heheh neither can i =P

that's why i always used the unlimited life code. lol

[bonde92]

what is the name of that game?

[jackstein104]

take a wild guess moron

[solidkevinx]

Do you not know how to read or something?

[bonde92]

do you know how not to be an asshole? well then shut up!

[solidkevinx]

lol

[neogeon]

the first level theme is one of the best songs in video games. In fact, the first level theme was a large reason I bought the game (that and it was only $5).

[incomparable777]

great game.

[Ebb1993]

The music is a ripoff of Mega Man X.

[morrissteven]

I think Darius Twin came first, though.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Admitted, the music styles are similar, but I doubt that makes it a rip-off.

[TiTuS0]

OMG HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS GAME!

I can never get past that turtle boss D:

[Blackdrake1]

I played this with one of my friends and watched him beat it. Why do all the bosses have to be Aquatic creatures?

[happyhaniwa]

Great game:).

[afkaz]

I bought Darius Twin yesterday at Goodwill for $4.

[therealrockpresley]

4 bucks? what a great game too. this was my favorite at one point in time. brought back great memories playing it with my friends when i was a kid. good shit man.

[259]

$4 is hardly a bargain. I got mine for less than a dollar.

[neogeon]

its a bargain relative to the original price which was probably $50

[Blazikenfan]

THIS GAME ROCKS!!!

[melvoin]

remember when taito wasn't an embarassment?
