Preach it brother. It's such a great game, and with the systems we have these days, we could have a shooter that looked like Gradius V with the gameplay Einhander brought us.
Yep definitely a great game. I remember when I first got it, I stayed up all nite until I finished it (it hooked me). Hopefully they make a sequel to this great game.
BTW did anyone notice that one of the bosses was exactly like that bug from Starship Troopers (the one that fires balls out of its arse).

Yes fantastic game i aould love a sequel or a PSP port (rhmm rhmm ^^). I love especialy how there are cross paths (like if you destroy only the "pod" of the cop robot in the first level, if you don t destroy anything, or if you destroy it all)
But iirc at release Square said it was and will be its one and only shmup, so... enjoy :I

I wonder why they only decided to make one shooter? Since when does Square not sequels!?

Why does the game need a sequal? If it's such a good game why not just play it?

I can't think of a constructive reply without sounding like a snobby game zealot.
Carry on.

I'd say the real crime is that the whole 'hacking/stealing' weapons thing never really caught on in other shooters
It was really sorta fun- like the 'coersion' of enemies in Darius Gaiden
Gives a sense of freedom and is a cool play mechanic

G-Darius did a good job with that system. You could just steal enemies, of course always trying to get the big ones (always fish). While I'm on the topic, Taito needs to make one last "Darius Final", or something like it. R-typre final looks awesome, really topped Delta, not a huge fan of Delta. Getting back to topic, they made a Bushido Blade 2, and it was awesome. Better than the first in every way.

Macross for the Super Famicom uses the "stealing" system, too. Been done a bunch of times... usually in platformers, I suppose.

If they would do a remake of Einhänder, who the hell would buy it? Only a handful of nostalgia gamers like you and I. R-type hasn't been put out to pasture for no reason. Kids nowadays don't want shooters, they want the next GTA. Einhänder sold like rotten bananas and even though it is one of the most original shooters out there, the "public" has disagreed by simply not buying the game. I think it won't be long before Gradius gets killed off as well(unless they go Hollywood on it, which I doubt). Shame, really...

That is a good point. Just put "From the makers of FF", and you have some marketing. Even if they just slightly updated the graphics and such, and put it out as a budget title, I would buy that. I guess Square doesn't do too many budget titles.

Its a crime that I still don't own this game.
