Gradius 2 (NES) - No-Miss Run - Part 2 of 4

Here is the second part of the run, featuring the Crystal stage. There is a part in this level that can be hard, especially if you don't have any Options surrounding the Vic Viper... so, it's a good idea to not get killed by the large number of crystals coming at you!

There's one thing that needs to be mentioned though, this level is a lot easier than the one in the arcade version of the game, which is practically IMPOSSIBLE for normal people (once again, without Options surrounding the Vic Viper). But still, if you are a SHMUP God, it should be easy for you, which also turns out that I'm one of these lucky people (but that's for another upcoming run!)! ^_~

Gradius 2 for the Nintendo Famicom (or the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) here in North America), done on 12/20/07.


*Total video time: 28 min 55 sec*
*Music: Same thing like on the Gradius No-Miss Run, 8-bit music and sound effect at it's best! This was at KRIK's request as well.*

I love the NES version of the Crystal Stage!!!

[travelsonic]

4 option + vic viper shooting twin missiles [for example] + ripple laser

+ floating unbreakable crystals

+ breakable crystals in 2+ pieces

+ enemies coming at you and shooting at you

is SO MUCH for the NES to process, is it just me, or is it  enouh to cause the game to lag to all hell?

The greatest games for the NES were never released in Europe!

Great vid!!

Maybe it's time you guys did a run using minimum items? Just the plain ol' shooter .. wonder if that's possible? Tool assisted perhaps?

Would be fun to watch anyway!!

And they sound amazing!

I noticed some of the songs in this game are also used in Gradius Rebirth on WiiWare for the Wii.
