Dirty Pair and its consequences have been a beautiful thing for videogames.
Fun games with beautiful visuals, fun characters and cool directional shooting that makes for some really cool gameplay sequences. The sequel really feels like it's trying to impress you constantly and I think that's a good thing for any game to try.

First game is decent. Second is much better but iirc the game can drag on at points. It's a shame we'll never get a new game. There aren't many games like it. Also, I can imagine Battle Mania working well as a 3D shooter.

Indeed. We need girls like this in games more than ever.

>>10866427
Very fond of them.
>>10866445
Need more fanart.

I really wish we got more DP games

Who even currently owns the rights to Battle Mania?

I'm surprised there was never an option for co-op.

What Battle Mania things do you have?
Here is my Battle Mania Daiginjou cart

I was watching someone's 1CC and apparently you can easily max out your score before the end.

I always pictured a 3D game playing like a mix of Sin & Punishment, Einhander and Wild Guns. Keep swapping up camera angles and more on foot/running sections.

Cool games. I'm not shmup guy, but I really liked them. What else is out there with similar gameplay and/or looks?

The second game has my favorite soundtrack on Sega Genesis. The guitar is so good. I usually test emulators with it to make sure the sound is close to real hardware.

There was supposed to be one on the Dreamcast. I don't have too much information to share but it looks like it would have done the shifting camera thing.

Only played the 2nd one, fun game but too easy. I literally beat it on my 4th attempt on normal mode and I'm not even a big shmup player to begin with.
Perfect entry game to the genre I guess.

I wasn't aware that there's more than one.

>>10866427
I love the sequel. Own 2 copies.

1x bought around 2011 for $235
1x bought around 2017 for $360
both eBay

Also a shame that the animated commercial for the 1st game has been long last since it last aired...

Madison feet...

American version has one of my favorite covers of all time. It’s kitschy and epic.
A perfect encapsulation of the era.

I think it rides a very good difficulty line. It's not impossible or brutally difficult bullet hell, but it's not brain dead easy either. You have plenty of life and wiggle room to edge out but you can do better if you get good. And like you said it did take you a few tries to get good.

>>10866427
Highlights of the Genesis library, really wish they had more games.

It's supposed to be Vic Tokai/Tokai Communications, but I think there was some issue where they couldn't prove they held the rights to these games.

>>10866427
Really mediocre but weebs pretend to like it because le anime girl (many such cases on Sega consoles)

>>10867642
Most of the times you die starting off will be to getting crushed, though. Once you know where that can happen it is extremely easy.

>>10868558
let me guess, the anime girl not looking like a fat manlet italian plumber is... le bad?

>>10868560
yeah but I'd rather that than dying because I couldn't predict some cluster of single perfect projectiles that clog the screen save for this one tiny microscopic safe spot
