Darius II | Burning Force - ACA October - Bullet Heaven #344

LIKE & SUBSCRIBE FOR TUNA SASHIMI 😆

October was a comparatively light month for ACA Shooting, but what we did end up getting was pretty neat. Let's see what the Arcade Archives had on tap for October, in this episode of Bullet Heaven. Jokes ahoy.

that sound clip of "DARAIUS CHEW!" will haunt my dreams lol

Burning Force looks really pretty fun. I always find these pseudo-3D rail shooters very charming.

Great video Etrem, I've really been enjoying your dives into the Arcade Archives

That 3 screen Darius variant looks too cool to pass up. It's brutal though and desperately needs a quick save/load just to learn. God help you if you go for a 1cc.

Doing great work covering the Arcade Archive releases; something that I don't think anyone else is doing. Keep up the excellent work, I will certainly keep tuning back in!

[ZachMr]

Love the use of the sound clip for Darius 2. I myself struggled with the proper way to pronounce for decades. 😅

[Mingodough]

I was always wondered why the Darius collection didn’t include the 3 screen version of Darius 2. It was weird because I think one of the descriptions mentioned it.

[then]

Yep, that 3 screen Darius 2 is harder.Cool to have as a part of my collection as a historical curiosity but the 2 screen is already hard enough for me and is easier to see too!
Great reviews again.Looking forward to Daioh and whatever's next.

A double episode! I don’t care what the Japanese guy says, it’ll always be “Dare - ē - us” to me. Still cracked up every time he was edited into the video though! Bring on Trouble Witches! Also dying to know about Daioh, thank you for all your hard work!

I always wanted a thing called tuna sashimi! The Darius games are pretty unique. Would love a chance to try an arcade cabinet one day.

[weatheredrider]

nice video pal, like the look of burning force!

[MrRawnch]

I have the Darius collection on Switch and they are some of the most challenging SHMUPS in my opinion. Also, I never knew that Burning Force started as an arcade game. I have the Genesis cart and I preferred it over Space Harrier.

[ShadowBasch]

Good stuff! I've yet to properly play any Darius game, though I have the PS4 version of G-Darius on my shelf waiting to be played :)

Looking forward to the next episode!

[RalphBarbagallo]

I loved Burning Force on the Genesis. The coin-op version seems way harder.

[AlviEao]

DaRyeUs Chu heheheh… Three-Screen Tuna Sashimi and Namco Super Scaler Combo!

[headman]

The music is Darius 2 gets stuck in my head sometimes. I wish the music would sound like this in the next Darius game if that would happen

[peterporto]

I am pretty sure the 3 screen version is also on the Saturn release of daraias 2, but I can’t find it cause I have too many games flying around 😊

[sunderark]

Funnily enough Playing Sagaia aka Darius II on an actual 3 screen arcade setup feels completely different. Not only do you not have the letterbox feel but it genuinely feels larger. It's hard to put it into words. Gaiden IS better though.

[HayTatsuko]

At this point I've given up on even trying to pronounce "Darius" properly. I know what it's supposed to be., but my brain insists on making me say it wrong every damn time.

[chhf]

Isnt it the same version release in Taito Milestone 2? There is too many Darius games, im just confuse sometime! 🤣

[KarnovJrMkII]

Arcade Burning Force is insanely hard and downright unfair. Sure it looks and sounds better than Genesis port but in this case I do perfer the home version due to the quality of life improvements. I feel the same way about Gradius III. SNES port blows the arcade original out of the water which is pretty much unplayable to a casual shmup player.

Never been all that good at them..
I like them, but they're difficult.
