I wonder if we'll ever see the arcade version on VCA sometime.

Is that unreleased in our continent on Game Boy?

This looks like it might be one of those hidden gems that make the VC so great. It also looks like it might be trash. Can't wait for the review.

Looks to me like a classic Beat-em-up. The review will let us know if it is good.

I downloaded it a few hours ago. I'm pretty far, and its a very good game. But I have played the arcade version, and this is a bit inferior.
But if you only had a few bucks,
I'd reccomend Mario Picross or 3D Xevious.
I personnaly give it a 7. The only things I dont like are: lack of difficulty, music (it bugs me for some reason) and a bit of repetition.

i have 3 bucks, it's either this or radar mission, which one?

@sam322 radar mission is a black and white battleship essentialy. I say, If you already have Donkey Kong or Picross, dont get anything. Just wait. All the AAA titles are coming. Those $3 should be put on Metroid II or Pokemon Yellow.

i dont have donkey kong nor picross

Then definantly Donkey Kong. It's even better than the NES one. To put it simply: you pay $4 for 100 level with infinite replay value. I've already played all the levels a few times. But if you prefer a sudoku-esque puzzle game, go with Picross.

I downloaded this and think it's quite charming and innovative This is much better than Radar Mission, imho. Pick it up if you want a dose of retro goodness

this may be the only choice for me, ill wait for a review though

Think whatever you want about what I'm going to say, but the guy on the cover is my dad! XD He posed for it in a studio here in Chicago and it took a few hours! They said he had the look they needed! I just found this out today so I googled the name and I think it's really cool XD His name's Joe.

@Enya Take a photo of your Dad pulling that pose and holding a sign that says "Nintendo Life". Email it to me (my username @nintendolife.com). We'll talk.

I think I must be the only person who doesn't think this is some kind of "hidden gem." Actually, I think it kinda sucks. Repetitive gameplay, shoddy controls, and bland graphics do not a good game make, The possession concept is way ahead of its time- props for that- but the execution leaves something to be desired. Best parts of the game: the "Game Over" screen with the weeping cartoon ghost, and the enemy descriptions in the manual. e.g., "Vampire: Revived by the syndicate from the dark embrace of the crypt after 400 years of slumber..." LOL

that is the most mis-leading box-art I have ever seen. I though this was some random shooter game for a gameboy when i saw it on the e-shop, so I skipped over it. I come back to poke at it now on NL and see a cute ghost. lolwut?

@Bass_X0 Well looks like you just got your wish. At least you didn't say a anytime soon. But 11 years is better than never.
