"Gunstar Heroes was released in 1993 for the 16-bit Sega Genesis/Megadrive console system. Created by the Japanese development house Treasure, it is a side scrolling platform shooter similar to Contra or Metal Slug.
Gunstar Heroes is perhaps their crowning achievement. Although not exactly the most popular Genesis game, Gunstar Heroes is one of the defining games of it's genre and Treasure's first game ever.
There are many elements that make Gunstar Heroes a special game. The weapons system is innovative, and gives the player the ability to adapt to many different situations. The play control is extremely responsive and fun allowing the player to make high jumps while blasting enemies in all directions. Perhaps most impressive of all is the art direction and technical achievements Treasure managed to cram into that small black Genesis cart. Like most every Treasure game the bosses are huge, made of dozens of independent sprites, all of which move, jiggle, and rotate. The animation is so advanced that it wouldn't be a stretch to compare Gunstar Heroes (a Genesis game) to the Neo Geo games of the era like Metal Slug or Shock Troopers."

ESRB Confirms New SEGA Titles
December 22, 2008 - Several unannounced SEGA-made games recently popped up on the Entertainment Software Rating Board's (ESRB) website. Apparently the publisher is using the Wii's Virtual Console as a sort of test bed as the listed titles have already released on Nintendo's System (not to mention the fact that they're also classic games). Now coming to Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network are Gunstar Heroes, Phantasy Star II, Comix Zone and Sonic The Hedgehog 3. There's no indication of a release date for any of the titles, but as soon as we get wind of one, we'll let you know.
