"Nanostray which has been successfully released in America, Europe and Japan."

What the hell is "successfully released". Wow! It's beaten "Duke Nukem Forever"!

UB, you forget that Majesco released the first game. For them to actually ship more than one copy to retailers, it's a freaking miracle.

I hope Atlus or someone else publishes this for them, Majesco pulled a Phoenix Wright with the first game.

Well, there certainly wasn't a shortage of copies 'round here. Noone bought them. Typical German action game: Great graphics, mediocre gameplay. Usually they're also buggy like hell, no idea if Nanostray fits that bill. If it's not clear enough, I didn't buy it after Iridion 2 sucked so bad.

As someone who has actually played the original, I can say without a doubt that it is the most difficult game I've played since the NES days...I can get to the first boss and that's it. I get royally owned. This isn't about pattern memorization, this is about sheer luck. It's near impossible to avoid getting hit when the boss takes up 90% of the screen and he has little buddies zooming all around too IIRC. Very frustrating game, just the way a shoot-em-up should be...heh...

I really liked the first one - it's one of the most under-appreciated games on the DS.. Looking forward to this one!

If they ditched touch screen support and add alot more levels than the first, then this could be a solid game. Unfortunately it sounds like the touch screen is back. face-icon-small-frown.gif
