Looking for this game

Post by vsg1980 »

There is a horizontal shmup set in World War II where you fly a Japanese Zero (and possibly other planes) that was on either the Gameboy Advance or the Nintendo DS (possibly both). I'm pretty sure it was only a handheld title. I don't know the name of it, and I believe it came out in Japan only for a while before it came to the states (at least I THINK it had a U.S. release). Like I said, it's a horizontal side scroller and you had air targets and ground targets that had to be blown up buy dropping bombs. It was one of those unique side scrollers where you didn't constantly move to the right either. You could turn around and go the other direction to dive bomb or shoot down your targets, and you could come in at an angle and had to watch your altitude so you wouldn't go too fast and hit the ground. I believe the Plane was white (duh, it was a Zero). I think the first level had you dive bombing battleships and shooting down planes over water. I remember seeing it at Gamestop a while back in the mid 2000's. The graphics were really great, like as good as SNK-Playmore. If anyone knows what game I'm trying to describe please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I'm drawing blanks on GBA and DS. What about Wings of Fury for GBC?

That's the one! I could have sworn it was on the DS though. Was there no game pretty much exactly like Wings of Fury on the DS? Thanks!

I know for sure it wasn't a helicopter that was flown in the game. Thanks for the suggestion though, I checked out Glory Days on Youtube and it looked fun!
