Nah, looks boring. I don't like the first Nanostray very much and this sequel looks to similiar to it. The scoring system also sucks badly and unfortunately this seems to have some coins too... but we'll see. Good thing that the isometric perspective is gone and the horisontal gameplay features looks also even a bit refreshing. But still looking for Raid over the river.

looks good to me! :) but then again I really like the first one and the "rough 3D" / r-type delta / einhander look...

Looks like they're ripping on salamander and the isometric perspective is back. This is one game to avoid.

Like 8 screenshots about a game that is not likely to be released till next year could say anything! :roll: The isometric view ISN`T back, this one screenshot looks like Nanostray but the other screens clearly show a totally flat playing view (both hori and vert).

The thing that bothers me the most are the fuzzy looking enemy shots (much like in Nanostray). Other than that, I´ll just wait and see.

Pressing diagonals on the DS Lite is a pain anyways. :x

The last two look isometric to me.

Naah... only the background looks that to me, but the actual game seems to be pure 2d, finally. I think. But that ship desing is still something I absolutely hate. :x

Zaxxon is isometric, those last two look like they have a slight bit of perspective to them, but they're not isometric at all.

Oh yeah, I meant slight bit of perspective. It was so annoying in Nanostray that I got rid of it. I'm disappointed in NS2 at the moment.

It was terrible, I really disliked that part of the game... hopefully they've learned a few lessons and won't repeat the mistakes they made.

These screens look really underdeveloped and unpolished. I don't think that they really say anything at all about the final game. Good to see that the team is actually working on it though.
