Gradius Generation Boss Rush Part 1

[JDoucette]

Gradius Generation (Japan), also known as Gradius Galaxies (North America) and Gradius Advance (Europe), is a horizontally-scrolling shooter handheld video game published by Konami in 2001... The GBA was all software, bitmapped graphics, so it could do as much rotation as it wanted, as long as the programmers were efficient and drew the pixels themselves (and the hardware was fast enough, which it was).

[JDoucette]

What game system is this for? I thought SNES for a second until I seen multiple rotating objects, which it cannot do unless the programmers used tons of sprite animation frames, which perhaps they did. Anyway, never heard of it, but cool Boss Rush fight... thanks for sharing.

This is cake compared to most Gradius games. The hit detection is really small, seeing as how you destroyed the wall on the Ice stage and were pretty much flying in the wall. On Gradius 3 and 2, I can't dodge shots for shit haha.

@MetalYoshi4

[zeldaocarinaoftime2]

this is the game boy version

[MetalYoshi4]

If you mean Advance, yes. There were some Gradius games for the original Game Boy, though, but not this one.

Awesome intro and vid!!

[vhernandez2121]

Awesome, that's what I have to say. The intro is very good, too. And yup, that Brain in the last stage doesn't deserve the title of Boss.

Waiting for your next vid...

[NARFNra]

Erm, its sort of a tradition in gradius...

...At least this one didn't die after 5 seconds if you didn't shoot it...
