Nemesis is what they called Gradius in the west for its arcade release which is weird cause the console ports were just called Gradius. The European version seems pretty similar to the bubble version but the main difference is there's less enemies before the bosses. Because of that the game goes by a lot quicker. I think in Nemesis the checkpoints are supposed to be more generous with powerups to counteract the gradius syndrome. That might be more of a thing in the North American version but regardless I was trying to go for a no miss first loop. The arcade versions are definitely a step up in difficulty compared to the NES port. The nes ver. only took me a couple hours to clear but this took me a little bit longer. I highly recommend Gradius Origins! It plays great on switch. M2 usually knocks it out of the park on their switch releases (and on every other platform)
