@Schlurfilein

Not really. The first Gradius for a portable system, in this case Nintendo's Game Boy was Nemesis. The name NEMESIS was kept for the game's worldwide release. It combined elements from Gradius and Gradius 2 (the MSX versions), as well as some all-new features.

Hey CGR...where's part 2?

[ladawg81]

What about gradius gaiden!?!?

[ladawg81]

Life force and salamander are in the same family because they're made by konami and their plots cross. Yea this game has a plot... Gradius three and gradius gaiden are my favorites, gradius nemesis, II (not 2), and 4 are memorable.

So what the hell is Life Force!?!?!? Is Life Force just some reboot?
