It was too perfect for anyone who might want to copy it to even try.

fuck years, TGL was top tier NES game. The hardest part was oddly the green eye beast in the middle of the game, rather than anything that came after him.

>>1670260
Compile forbade IN WRITING the request for permission to remake the game, from a classic gaming community. Then Compile went under.

>>1670354
So it's up for grabs again?

>>1670354
Which Compile was this though? The Compile that made Zanac Neo or that shitty Compile-in-name-only studio Compile Heart?

>>1670357
Beats me. Japanese copyrights are a clusterfuck.

>>1670361
It was around 2003 or so, so I'm not sure.

im playing the game and holy fuck,the first shooting section is a pain in the ass
>that speed
My only problem is when you are in the topdown shooter sections,there is no shooting animations

>>1670316
Final boss was the only one I had trouble with. He took forever to kill and I didn't know you could use special weapons while in space mode.

Anyone has more fan-art of TGL?

I loved Optomon. If I ever make a shooting game I'll put somebody just like him in there.

whoops, got my folders mixed up I guess, didn't realize that was a Gradius one. Oh well, it's cool so it can stay. Here's a TGL one to make up for it.

>>1670831

>>1670260
>How is it there was never a sequel, nor any copycat games?
Because the holder of the IP has been bought and sold a dozen times since. At this point is debatable who even owns the IP. As for copycats >>1670279 nailed it.

>tfw you have waited a sequel or at least a spiritual sequel to the Guardian Legend for more than 20 years
>tfw you know your favorite game of all time will NEVER be ported, remade, republished or get any kind of sequel

guess I'm the only one who thought this game was shit. I beat it but it was really boring

zelda did it better
gun nac did it better

Didn't care for TGL. A little too hard-as-nails for me, and the shooting stages just seemed to go on and on and on forever. I totally get why it has a cult following, however.

It was a neat concept, but it was executed in a less than perfect way. The balance between the two game modes is retarded. Even if you have free movement, you are actually more likely to die than if you were a space ship due to the awkward collision detection. This is an example of "a good game using ET collision detection".

What is your favorite weapon?

>It's the perfect mix of shooter and adventure
I know this is basically blasphemy, but I thought both elements were wholly mediocre. There are much better action adventure games on the NES, and there are much better shmups, even from Compile themselves, on the NES. Combining the two genres the way it did also added very little, I thought.
I'd honestly say Blaster Master did a much better job of combining those genres with its somewhat Metroid-like side scrolling segments in Sophia the 3rd and its shooting segments on foot.

Is Guardic Gaiden the earliest example of mecha-musume? It's definitely the earliest one that I can think of, but I admit that the breadth of my pre-1990 knowledge is lacking.

>>1670279
There's a lot that could be done to improve the game, don't even pretend like it's perfect. Hand it over to the Meta Slug team and see what perfection may actually look like.

Just call them Irem. EX-Irem staffers. I love Metal Slug as much as the next guy, but they didn't do nearly as much good for SNK as they did during their time with Irem.

>>1673039
Fair enough, but still the attention to detail and the spritework would do a remake of this game some justice.

>>1673067
That would do pretty much every 2D game justice.

>>1673067
>>1673079

Man, you guys are making me imagine a new Arcana Heart game done with the Irem-esque sprites and it is totally weirding me out how unfitting the two different styles are together.

>>1673536
No, just the same attention to detail and quality of sprite work, not the same art style.

I just got out of Area 0 and this game is turning out to be really fun,but the fact that it uses shitlong passwords is what made me use Savestates
