Noticed it when purchasing Ninja Five-O for my nephew, looks to be a vertical shmup. My nephew said it was just a port of a GBC game, so I am unsure as to the quality. Anyone know how it plays?

I hope you got Ninja Five-O...

OT: I never heard of the game...

Please, for my sake, buy Advance Wars 1 and 2?

I already have AW2, I plan to get AW1 when I find it.

There was only one copy of Ninja Five-O left, so I let my nephew have it, I'll wait for a re-stock.

I did get Lufia: The Ruins Of Lore, though.

Is Ninja Five-0 good or something?

Yes. Think old-school ninja action/platformer, a la Shinobi.

I finally found some information on Invader/Kaisertal, and Shapermc saw a post of mine on another forum and was able to give me some information too. It sounds good, especially considering I got it for only $13.87 at Sam's Club. :)

Finally tried out Invader. Definitely a decent shmup. Rumblings that it is a bit easy can probably be attributed to the fact that you can set the credits to be infinite. As long as you have some self-control and limit yourself, you have yourself a nice little time-waster on your hands for the price of $13.87.

Now for the weird part. I could have sworn that it had an ESRB rating on it, but I guess that was just my memory of seeing the picture online. When I took it out of the plastic security "holster," I discovered NO ESRB rating. Instead, it had Euro ratings all over the back. When the Hell did Sam's Club Membership Warehouse start carrying imports?

Looks like a good SHMUP.
I've been looking online for it and had no luck.
Any one know a place to purchase this game?

Not even listed on Sams Club web site :(

Costco should have it too, I think I saw it there, along with some other strange obscure GBA games like IK+ (International Karate +), which you never see in any other stores. :spock:
