How come you doucheclowns weren't shitting your capri pants for Iridion 2, another second-tier Euro shooter by the same company? Heck, it puts graphics over any nuance as a shooter, as well! Same lame bosses, same simple bullet patterns, same unbalanced weapons, same clumsy mechanics!
A few visual nods to Radiant Silvergun doesn't put it any where near the same class.
WAIT -- Iridion 2 wasn't a title for a content-starved platform! Silly me; I always forget about First Year Syndrome, where people get hyped for shit that wouldn't fly in an established system's library, like Luigi's Mansion and Silpheed. Whoops!

it looks good. I dont know who was bashing this but you're stupid.
EDIT: I dont really care for the graphics, there are very obvious and interesting gameplay mechanics that can be observed.

I still play Iridion II all the time. Nice try. 
Fuck, I even imported the soundtrack from Shin'en directly from Germany.
Edit - Also, as awesome as Iridion II was, it was a sequel to one of the most unfortunate shooters ever created... Iridion 3D sucked to hell and back.

Drinky trolling another DS game thread? GASP! What a surprise. His memory must be failing him because I recall quite a few threads here discussing Iridion II around its release date. I actually found out about the title from GAF, so as mentioned above, nice try.

olimario, common sense says a European developer with a pattern of aping better shooters with mediocre results will turn out more of the same.
Drinky Crow said:
Nobody knows how much they've improved since their decent showing with Iridion II. They made a nice leap there from the first Iridion and Nanostray seems to be getting more positive impressions than their previous titles.
We'll see. I'm hoping for an all around solid shooter this time.

If it comes from Europe, it's BADD!! I mean Europe doesn't include 30 something countries filled with vastly different cultures and people, like NORTH AMERICA. Or is that the other way around??

When Nintendo's doing poorly, the concept of a 'good game' suffers

If it's a shooter and it ain't made by Cave, Psikyo, Raizing, Taito, IREM, or Treasure, my faith in it being anything better than mediocre is NIL.

Nintendo is actually doing pretty good. You pals should know since I'm assuming drinky was responsible for locking the DS sales thread. Maybe not, maybe you missed it. Apparently the DS is outselling even the PS2 in Japan these days. Incredible!
Even though I can understand your reasoning here, and I pretty much agree, I enjoyed Iridion II and as long as they improved on that in anyway, I am sure I will enjoy Nanostray. I'm not necessarilly saying that it's going to be brilliant, but enjoyable nonetheless.Drinky Crow said:
Ignore the troll plz. (I should take my own advice, I know.)
But uh, anyone know why EB might have taken Nanostray off their site?

Still on GS though, so it's probably nothing.

Since graphics are not longer an issue, sound is going to be the major selling point for NDS games who game play impresses me. The sound in this game seems ok, far better than the audible rape in Tak.
I do not see how gamers who stood by the graphically inferior consoles of last gen and this gen can openly mock graphics in the DS. Sure the PSP produces amazing visuals, but how can one champion it's visuals when PSx and PS2 were so graphically inferior.
Maybe all those years of having the bar set low on them has finally made them go crazy..

The music for this game sounds pretty well composed with catchy tunes and soundtracks are very important in any vertical shooters. The game looks fantastic in its native screen resolution and I see they fixed the animation to not be as jerky as it used to be. I can't wait to see what IGN and Gamespot give it because this may end up on my DS buy list when I get one later this year along with Castlevania, Sonic Rush, Advance Wars, Jump Superstars and Kirby.

Agreed, Europe can indeed produce fine shooters. I especially liked X-out and Z-out back during the c64/amiga days (think they were developed in Europe anyway). X2 was also cool.
Anyway, I can understand judging a developer on its past efforts, but judging a whole continent just like that is a bit over the top.
Looks/sounds pretty good. Iridion II was okay, but it was a gigantic fucking leap over Iridion 3D... hopefully we see as dramatic a refinement here.
Looks lightyears better than the Hudson/X-Nauts shareware-esque PSP shooters however. Funny that DS would have the best looking handheld shooter yet.

Sooo.... you are saying this game must be put on PSP because that system also has nice graphics and no gameplay?Drinky Crow said:
I thought you always said that the DS cannot show good graphics?!

what touch screen controls?... isn't it just a weapons switch? That'll probably be attributed to buttons as well (like the Nitros in NFSU). Other than that it's just a screen for radar and scores.
The game is looking great. I hope it plays as good as it looks.

Whoa whoa whoa, hold your horses there...
The difference between PS2, XBOX, and GC is simply not that large. You'll often see games on all three platforms, and the differences between them usually come in the form of image quality and additional slowdown. When each is at the top of their game, they've also proven that they can do some things that the others struggle with. All three clearly belong in the same generation. I supported PS2, but that was for its original content (where it often did very well). When it came to multiplatform stuff, I always chose the best version (usually the XBOX version).
The DS is a much different case. The hardware is substantially weaker than the PSP. The difference between the two is similar to N64 vs the DC. You can't possibly believe that the difference between DS and PSP is the same as the difference between PS2 and XBOX...can you?
Fuckin cool!! it is IKARUGA in portable form!!!
did Ikaruga have another name that you all are referring to up top?
some of the same exact scenes are in the cube version but different colors seem to be in this. is this a straight port or does it just borrow some of the ships and backgrounds and animations from it's gamecube version?

Thanks for the trailer, that was impressive stuff! Thus far, the sound, graphics, and game play look very good.

I never played Iridion II, I had the first one and thought it was kind of bleh. That said, Nanostray looks pretty effin' good and I thought Iridion II reviewed pretty good so I used Gamerankings and looked it up...

Nanostray looks awfully nice in trailers, and I'm looking forward to some portable schmup-ing.
