It may be short, but it's fun, intense and a decent challenge.
Another Virtual Console game that I could not resist downloading, despite having not played it as a child, I did play it recently elsewhere and wanted it for myself, so I couldn't help but spend the points on it. Needles... Read Full Review

One of the forgotten gems of the Genesis era, Gunstar Heroes is a great game and feels like Contra......on steroids.
Gunstar Heroes came out back in 1993. It was towards the end of the Genesis 'life cycle' and Sega had yet to make the boneheaded mistakes of the Sega CD & 32X, which would eventually lead them into a hole they couldn... Read Full Review

Gunstar Heroes is no doubt one of the best games on the Genesis, and one of the best games on Wii's Virtual Console.
I never did play Gunstar Heroes on the Sega Genesis, but from all of the awesome reviews and amazing praise it was getting, I had to buy it on the Nintendo Wii’s virtual console. So I bought it, played it, beat it, and I... Read Full Review

Fairly fun game for the virtual console. It would have been a better value for $5 instead of $8

Hard, Fast, and massive bosses. Just like a 2-d Side scrolling shooter should be!
This game sticks to its roots when it came to the virtual console. Gameplay- The difficulty ranges from extremely Easy (if you beat it on normal first), Normal, Hard, and the downright have to be hyped up on caffeine ... Read Full Review

Gunstar Heroes offers a frantic action game with plenty of explosions, crazy bosses and graphics....
Initially when I had started writing this review I wasn’t going to really praise Gunstar Heroes, I found it fun at first, but shallow, serves me right for not knowing how to play. After the playing the game some more, me... Read Full Review
