It looks to be dumped. However, it looks like a horridly crappy Rockman ripoff. Looks like a game that was developed for the GBA and then at the last moment stretched to fit the DS screen. Utter filth!

It IS dumped. I'm playing it on my DS right now. It's only an 8meg game. I'm not expecting much. Right now it's going through some story blah-blah.

DOH! Accidentally reset the game trying to skip the stupid story crap.

If you know me, you know I don't make up crap about releases.

I had heard this game was crap awhile ago from hands-ons and stuff. And I also heard/saw some of the animations are stolen from other games...I don't know why people were looking forward to this game.

Dual-screened platformer is what it is. Seems quite a bit like Megaman in a dual simultaneous time-line. The action is on both screens and you have to keep looking back and forth between the 2 screens to avoid/blast obstacles and enemies.

Y and A jump....for either screen. B and X are for firing in the individual screens. B for bottom, X for top.

I don't see how they possibly expected to pull this game off on the GBA. It screams DS game.

As far as I've played at this point, it's kind of interesting to see what kind of stuff they'll come up with between the 2 screens since you run through both at the same time, but it doesn't seem very impressive. I've just been running and jumping with a couple shots fired hear and there so far. I don't think this game is all that great, but then again, I just started messing with it. Hopefully it gets better. I'm thinking "meh" about this game right now.

I was always more of a Turrican fan than I was of Megaman.

A dual-screened Turrican.......now that would be nice......but I digress.

Its nice to finally see it, it was due for GBA in 2002 though with each delay I looked forward to it less and less and now I don't care.

I'll give it a try later, some previews said it played well others said it didn't but you can't really trust what others say about games nowadays.

I have to say, the font is ugly and the characters look like Akira Toriyama rips, so far as the style and bodies go and how Toriyama normally draws aliens. Especially the eyebrows (well at least the style he set into in the later parts of DBZ, not Dragonball/Dr. Slump)

Also the jumping is fairly clunky and shooting a bit off.

I'd play the new Megaman ZX game instead if you want this type of game.

Well its not bad, nothing spectacular. Its a shame you can't skip the cut scenes.

Played three levels, nothing much happened in them and it was kinda annoying having to look at each screen everytime you make a step.

When this was to be released on the GBA it was split screen and would've worked better as you could see them together but on the DS it was just annoying having to look up and down each time.

GBA split-screen would've sucked; too compressed.

This game reeks of amateur-skillz. Highly repetitive action. And the dual happenings thing isn't all it's cracked up to be; basically UN-superimposing what we'd see in a generic, side-scrolling shmup. It would've been better if falling down a pit on EITHER side killed you, but then with such crap level design that would've made this game tougher than Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts.
