Info, screens on Judgement Silversword?

[LoneSage]

I continually hear about this GBA shmup, but I've basically found no info on it at all.

Anyone know of any websites that have a review or screenshots of this game? How does it play, too? Going price for it? Thanks

Well.

First of all, Judgement Silversword isn't for the GBA, it's for Wonderswan Color/Crystal. There are videos at http://members2.jcom.home.ne.jp/jss2/index.htm. It plays like a dream, manicness at its best. Going price is somewhere on the $150-200 range, assuming you can even locate a copy. And there's even a high-score thread for it...

Hot diggity dog, thanks Ghegs. I had always thought it was a GBA game


But isn't the screen for the WSC horizontal? I wonder how a person situates themself to play the game on a handheld.

Ah, here's the ingenious part - you turn the WSC on its "side", so to speak and play with a vertical screen. See the picture at http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-80-1-70-1qx.html? There are three sets of buttons for controlling (upper left, lower left and lower right on that pic), so it's easy to just switch when playing vertical games.

So all you who thought the PSP was cool for allowing you to do this with Galaga - it's been done better before.
