Although I hated the Japanese game for not being like the original (which it easily could have) I'm still gonna get the US version and see it as a none Bangai-O game.
Problem I have is that the original had bigger levels and more point to them, you flew around collecting fruit, shooting stuff and then you faced a boss and all this last around 2-5 minutes. This one is just BANG done in 30 seconds, repeat. Also being a Bangai-O fanboy doesn't help.
I didn't want a port either, just some new levels so I can play.
Would be nice if someone would make maps that are true to the original too, still I will approach it again knowing that it isn't the game I loved and that at least I still have the original on my DC.
