Zanac EX (MSX2) now on Switch via EGGConsole

Post by hamfighterx »

As the topic says, the MSX2 version of Zanac EX released this week. US eShop link: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/produ ... x2-switch/

Zanac (MSX) also made it earlier this year: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/produ ... sx-switch/

Now I'm kind of salivating over the seemingly very realistic prospect of seeing the MSX2 Aleste, Aleste 2, and Aleste Gaiden...

I just checked what this week's EGGConsole release was as well and was equally excited. I also look forward to the MSX Konami shooters, which are on EGG on PC in Japan.

Yeah, it's a good one. Very similar to the Famicom Zanac, but some graphical differences and I think I prefer the MSX2 version. Both the FC and MSX2 versions are a significant change from the original MSX Zanac, which has the distinctive MSX stuttery scrolling.
