Sadly it is not what i want because is more like a sci-fi based shooter. To replace your decision, I would thinking about the all mighty Toaplan games (Flying shark, fire shark, twin cobra, etc,...)

1944 Loop Master is a nice little tribute to flying shark. Even had two toaplan staff members iirc. Battle bakraid also had some toaplan staff but feels less toaplan-ish to me.

I wonder also if Air Gallet would suit you?

This game is something like Silkworm, P47, or Carrier Air Wing, UN Squadron. Not what i'm ask for but it's fine though

Recently return to my own thread and wanna ask, Isn’t Ketsui supposed to be a spiritual successor to Air Gallet 🤔I mean I saw most of Gazelle’s staff working on this game, and Uemura-san come to Cave in 2001

Ketsui was a very easy pick but i was jumped. I can also bring out SWIV and its sequel, and maybe Koutetsu Yousai Strahl is up your alley?

Of course there's also Operation Lunar Fury for the veterans.

Never mind, i might consider 1942 Joint Strike and maybe Sonic Wing Reunion cause it's 2025 already lol

Why NES version specifically? There's an arcade version that more of a shmup, as well. The one with the big D in the title, not to be confused with the localization of the Laserdisc game, Thunder Storm.

No real reason. Just seemed like a good idea at the time.
