Gunstar Super Heroes

Having this game on the GBA is comforting for a few reasons:

1. You can play it on a TV or on a portable
2. Not many people own a PSP or DS at this point(myself included)
3. Treasure knows the GBA hardware quite well

Having the game in hi-res with dozens of enemies on screen at once would have been nice, but would any publisher have given Treasure the budget to make a fanboy's dream sequel to Gunstar Heroes? Not even SEGA is that dumb.

I'm just quoting that for future use. I'm quite glad it's on GBA, and if it does well, maybe an upgraded version will hit the DS or PSP. Or maybe they could do a Gunstar collection with an upgraded version and the original on a system at some point.

Sega was willing to do a console version for Guardian Heroes but Treasure didn't want to.

For what system? DC? PS2?

Playing the game on the GameCube is some consolation for it not being on PSP.

As for Sony not being keen on 2D for PSP- they are allowing Namco Museum for a summer release, so I think it'd be unfair for them to disallow a Gunstar Heroes port if Treasure wanted to do it.

Once the PSP really takes off, we need an upgraded port.

I don't think any specific format was mentioned although it was probably post-DC. The info was mentioned in an older thread.

The game should have been done using SNES resolution as the core. Publish it on the GBA. Then release with the full SNES resolution on the PS2/Cube/Xbox, maybe with some 3D thrown in for spice - throw in the original Gunstar and call it a "compilation disc" so Sony will let you publish it. A little coding can go a long way.

I'm a little worried about 2D games on the PSP. The slight LCD blurring is much more obvious on 60fps games, especially with 2D graphics. Play the Ridge Racer intro minigame to see what I mean.

You forget the most important part. Sega said they wanted a 3D Guardian Heroes on console. Treasure said no to that. I think it is important to point out again, who the fuck is going to publish a 2D scrolling shooter on console?

Taito, Arika or maybe D3 (hey there's games on the Simple brand that get a normal pricing but it's a real longshot).
