G Darius Ver.2! One of the Best AND HARDEST Shmups I've Played! The "Now Ported" Playlist - Taito
Yes I know...G-Darius has a home port! But G-Darius Ver.2 DOES NOT! Well at least not at the time of making this video. There was news that Rev.2 was going to be remade in HD just like G-Darius...but it's not out yet! So take that lolol...but seriously G-Darius Ver.2 may very well by my favorite shmup of all time...but its seriously the hardest shoot em up game I have EVER played personally. Retro gaming quarter munching incoming!
(Note...I changed the name of this to "Now Ported Playlist" because between making this and showing this...Ver 2 got ported! but it's not like I am going to just discard the episode!)

Hello and welcome to "The Unported Playlist"
So we decided to extend this playlist from 10 games to does it even matter what the count is anymore? lol it's a lot!
On this episode we are looking at G-Darius Ver.2 from Taito! Ver.2 was a re-release of the original shmup to change the game up a bit...mostly by making it hard as nails difficult. But Darius has always had both amazing visuals, gameplay and most importantly MUSIC...and G-Darius is retrogaming gold in all of these departments! Plus Ver 2 was never really ported to PS1 or PS2...but it's now available in an HD remake so thats fun!
