I don't care about hardware sales. I'm not interested in calling doom and gloom on you-know-who. I don't like bitching about a system I've seen nothing of. I've never been too big on online gaming, and I've always used PSN cards for my PS Store purchases.

For these reasons I don't really find myself caring about most threads going on right now. So I thought it'd be a fresh change of pace to see a thread actually dedicated to games. Remember those? The silly little things this website wouldn't exist without?

Aaaanyway... Just a couple o' days ago, I replayed the finest six levels of shoot 'em up heaven this side of Ikaruga and U.N Squadron, which you may or may not (probably the latter) know as Axelay.

Sure, it's short, but it's so well made, you'll gleefully be playing it again, trying to beat your own high scores, just because of how sheerly fun it is. (Well, if you're anything like me, at least.)

Oh, and its soundtrack kicks ass.

It's actually on the Virtual Console in North America, Australia and Japan. I say give it a shot, if you have some Nintendo Points lying around.

I have some other games in mind too, but I'll talk about them later if this thread catches on. (Wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't, though. I've seen other, better threads get far less posts than they should.)
