!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O
Konami, you have REVIVED!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

huhhh
If they put as much effort into this as they did any of the arcade Gradius games (or Gaiden, I suppose), I might have to get a Wii.
Is there a wired joystick, or is hooking it up to the wiimote the only option?
and remember konami; turn continues off by default and i'll love you forever
edit: the hori stick is wireless only =/

Wherever Gradius is, I will be there.
The series hasn't let me down yet (well, apart from Gradius III...)
This does look like a remake of the first game with new sprites, though :/
What sucks is that I already bought the Famicom and PC Engine versions of Gradius on VC. This is starting to take the piss a little.

Is it greedy of me to want a Parodius rebirth as well? I am much too weaksauce for true Gradius, but the pure awesomeness of Parodius siphoned many a quarter out of my pockets when I was younger...
Other then that: yay!

Other then that: yay!
For those who cannot access the site:
Background info:
When you click on a link, your browser notes the current page that you are on and sends that information (the HTTP "referer" header) to the server of the new web page. This way the server of the new web page knows which page you viewed last. In famitsus case, if you're coming from another site you'll simply be kicked off. If you block referrer information, the server of the page you are requesting will not know what page you came from. Some servers deny access to their pages if that happens, others (like famitsu) serve the page nonetheless. This policy is left to the server or site operator, so it is sure to change from site to site.
Workarounds:
The *usual* way of sending an empty referer is clicking in the address bar and hitting enter once you're encountering the error page. Otherwise open a new tab and copy&paste the URL over.
If you're using <advertisement>Opera, the best browser ever</advertisement> you can press F12 (or option-F12 if you're using OSX).
Uncheck this:
...or use the "edit site preferences" tool accordingly (which is actually the preferred way of doing this).
If you use the OTHER acceptable browser, use a plugin (there are alternatives) or modify a setting. If you choose to fiddle with the setting instead of installing a plugin, make sure you know what you're doing.
Warning:
Keep in mind that disabling referrers globally will screw up some sites and clashes with the netiquette, so change it back after you're done. Operas' site preferences or most plugins on Firefox will make that setting site-specific so you needn't worry about that, it will be applied to famitsu only.

In Opera, you can turn of referrer logging specific for Famitsu.com. I only use the site for gaf news anyways.

an Axelay Rebirth would ROCK! I consider that game to be one of the best along with Contra III.CTLance said:
Back on topic, we now have Gradius and Gradius III on VC, where in the heck is Gradius II?? That one was awesome!
I have a friend who's going to be excited about this .
Me? Kinda like, but I've always been a Parodius whore to be honest, and I haven't seen a Parodius in ages. And I saw Otomedius at the arcades in Japan, and I thought it sucked
. Parodius - goofy humour + loli = horrible game.
Where's my Parodius 5, KONAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII :'(.

It is interesting. Without new graphics and stuff, will the game be better than previous ones? Just like with Mega Man 9.
This would be a great challenge for devs. Everyone would try to make the best game they could. That's why I have been dreaming about a Super Mario World WiiWare Leveleditor with online share and ratings. What makes a level or game more fun than others?

The problem for me is, the people who were skilled at making sprites and music for old hardware have moved on to higher positions, and I don't trust the inexperienced people to do the job as well. Just a personal fear really, but I'm still to be convinced otherwise. Gradius had progressed so well with Gaiden and V, and I really feel like this is a step in the wrong direction. But I am a huge fan, so I won't really be disappointed unless it's truly dreadful.

If it was a time attack, they would make it clear before you download it, just like Star Soldier R did, but I suspect since SSR was at least in part a followup to the Hudson caravan and Gradius doesn't really have any historical equivalent, this should be a full game.
