Why couldn't more Treasure games be like this one?

I mean, it's a great game, but level design is ... not its strong suit.

Are you sure we played the same game?

The weird japanese "humour" is huge turn-off in this game.

What's the appeal of this game? I played it on N64, and it just seemed not that interesting. Seems like a very basic, almost retro arcade experience, more in line with games like Defender.

I didn't like the graphics, but finally managed to try this even if I liked treasure since dynamite headdy.
I can't believe I missed it for years, definitely one of their best games for me, just there with dynamite headdy, alien soldier and guardian heroes.

would be good if worlds 1, 3, 6, 7 and 9 didn't suck and had actual platforming.
>alien soldier
boss rush meme game. gunstar heroes was the better game, at least it's got real stages even if a few of them sucked ass.
>guardian heroes.
boring stages that repeat the same enemies too much (though to be fair, this is a problem with pretty much every belt scroller game).

Well these two things describe most Treasure games. Even if there is a gimmick it's usually central throughout the entire game, even being designed around it.
I'll concede that Treasure does love boss rushes though.

Gradius Gaiden was the superiour console-exclusive Gradius game.

It's full of gimmicky levels. Gimmicks are also fucking good, dumb-dumb.

I don't see how. BGO sticks to the core gameplay throughout the entire game. Maybe give some examples of gimmicks from it? Also, what are some other horizontal-perspective "twin stick" shooters like BGO? I can think of lots of top-down ones, but not side-scrolling.

>Not liking Dynamite Headdy worlds 1,3,6,7
I am sorry for your bad taste.
Also 3 and 9 have actual platforming, 9-1 is probably the hardest stage in the game platforming-wise.
>Gunstar Heroes was the better game
It's boring, I prefer Alien Soldier.
I have no problems with boss rush.
>Guardian Heroes is boring and repeats the same enemies too much like any belt scroller

World 1 is an autorunner where all you do is attack a robot that doesn't even attack you before fighting a boss.

World 3 is just a short pseudo-3D gimmick with no real platforming before a boss rush.

World 6 is yet another gimmick, this time a shmup.

World 7 is just walking up to a boss fight.

If you like any of these crap stages, you're the one with shitty taste. Also, 9-1 doesn't have platforming, you're just riding an elevator autoscroller up to yet another boss rush.

>It's boring, I prefer Alien Soldier.
Try playing Gunstar on a higher difficulty than normal, it's more challenging and interesting than Alien Soldier.
>I have no problems with boss rush.
Treasure'd take boss rushing to an excessive degree. A well-designed game balances out the stages to go with the bosses, something that Treasure never really figured out.

The Xbox 360 version is even better. Shame it'll never get ported to anything else along with the rest of the Treasure games on XBLA so more people can experience them.
