The powerups you get are also random, it isn't like Contra where you could memorize which container from each zone would give which powerup and plan accordingly, when a specific powerup drops, it's random, so say Stage 1, the first powerup you can get may be a machine gun one run, and a laser the next. ![]() The biggest downside for most people will likely be the controls, as they are unique to this game and take some getting used to. Docking a point for this, it really doesn't make any sense. Again this has no effect on the actual difficulty of the game, just the stages you get, but if you do 2P and want to play the new stages, tough luck, sadly. two new stages (the first new stage replaces one of the original stages when in Normal difficulty, the second new stage replaces another original stage on Hard difficulty, Easy is the original stages only) - local coop up to four playres (original was two player only), a drawback here is difficulty is based on how many players you have. It's weird, I love him as a character (because puppy with a robot, come on.), but his design doesn't seem to fit with how the game plays. ![]() The only new one I've tried so far is the dog (Bullet), he feels like he's supposed to be made for less skilled players (has a kind of autoaim feature and is able to move while shooting), but because of this he gets some clumsiness with the core game mechanics that almost make him more challenging to play at times. redrawn sprites so the game maintains its SNES look while adapting art and stages to widescreen and HD (the SNES version had a *much* narrow FoV, you can't just go high-res with original assets and call it a day, they actually had to redraw all of this to get it to look the way it does - that's a decent amount of work) - new soundtrack which is pretty good, the option to unlock the original soundtrack is gated behind a pretty challenging achievement (beating the game with no continues is going to be difficult for a lot of people, even on easy) - two new characters with playstyles very different from the original two. redrawn sprites so the game maintains its SNES look while Not a simple re-release of an experience you can get through emulation. Not a simple re-release of an experience you can get through emulation. The problem with this release that I can see is that there are no continues in the cooperative mode, whereas you have unlimited continues in single player. Together, these make Bullet a more beginner-friendly character, whereas Doris is aimed at more experienced players. He has an attack drone that follows him around and does the shooting for him, which means he can move and shoot at the same time- whats more, the drone has a lock-on radius around the regular reticule. She can also perform a ground pound to damage nearby enemies and destroy bullets. She can charge up and throw up to seven grenades at once. This also goes for the new characters, Doris and Bullet, with some variations- Doris comes with her own supply of grenades and doesn't use any of the weapon powerups that drop. You can jump, dodge, throw a stun lasso to disable enemies, and use a screen-clearing "smart bomb" style attack. ![]() When playing the original two characters, Clint and Annie, firing locks your position but still allows you to move the crosshair. Moving moves both your character and the crosshair. ![]() The controls in this game can take some acclimation. A tale of bandits, bounty hunters and revenge, Wild Guns is a classic Western yarn- in space! with automatic weapons and giant robots! Taking cues from everything from spaghetti westerns to Space Adventure Cobra, Wild Guns has a signature visual style you'll rarely find elsewhere. In a time where a SNES cartridge of this game could set you back a few hundred dollars and there are virtually no games in the "gallery shooter" genre on PC otherwise, Wild Guns is both a quality purchase and highly unique.
