I'm going to be doing something similar with Samson too, so this is gonna be a good testing grounds for this mechanic.
I was actually really close to making the Vic Viper the slot 4 weapon when I was first working on Gaiden last year. So it's nice to come back to that idea.
and if anyone's curious, the lineup of NES games the arsenal's gonna be based on is gonna look like this:

Chainsaw - Mega Man 6
Pistol/fist - Kirby's Adventure
Shotgun/SSG - Contra (but hitscan)
Chaingun - Gradius
Rocket Launcher - Metafight
Plasma gun - Super Mario Bros
BFG - Space Hunter (the mod, not the NES game)

Also got a character select sprite set up too, I'll put the guns inside this. It's gonna look cool by the time I'm done
