I was listening to an NPR piece on women in video games the other day. The had a female mobile game developer on, no issue there besides mobile trash in general, but she made a big issue about how she always love super mario bros on her NES but hated that "Nintendo never lets you play as the princess."

I've never felt the desire to buy it, although the Japanese cover is pretty. It has great cutscenes and great music, but I don't think the game is amazing. If you like it though, it is by no means a bad game.

Makurena Makendo/Kendo Rage is the best Valis game.

looks actually quite nice in motion as well. Good backdrop, solid animations, that's some well done soft porn.

This is a subtitle. The game is called "Dream Factory"

A good translation would be Dream Factory: Heart-Pounding Panic!

Probably because most of the people that have played that game weren't even aware that the pilot is a woman. Besides, the ship is the star of any shmup, not the pilot.

The most popular review of the game online goes for a "this is a great action game even if you can't read the story" approach which is a technically true statement.

And it's not in English and most people can't read Japanese.
