I take it you need a JP DSi to get these. Or perhaps someone will be able to hack the region setting for US DSi's eventually?
Really is amazing that we finally get slew of [new/original] hand-held shooters, where there once were few. I think Taito's Space Invaders Extreme had a lot to do with it.
Of course, that's just an opinion. Always seeking netplay fans to play emulated arcade games with.

Wonder Land was the only game decent out of every other G.G shooter, and even then, it was pretty dull. It's okay for some Touhou clone though. Definitely avoid Sora wo Kakeru.
I've bought it 5 minutes ago. It's a pretty weird game. I'm not sure if I like it or hate it yet. There's a certain weapon you can get that breaks the game (Ice weapon that acts as a shield and can cancel every bullet it touches).
It's pretty fun, but if you want a game you can play for a prolonged period of time (something among the ranks of Aa Mujou Setsuna), then this game probably won't be for you; but hey. 200 pts, can't really go wrong.
Has anyone tried Assault Buster or at least found a video?
I purchased D-Tank (semi shooter) and its not bad at all for 200 points. Also, another game Shinobi Karakuri Den (not a shooter, but nice and old school) and its not too bad either, although I prefer the former. G.G has it in them so I will probably end up purchasing Wonderland, the best looking one to me so far.
Really I have no complaints, I hope they will continue to make shooters and get better at them, at least someone is doing it! As far as I'm concerned I spend about 2 bucks every time I get on the Subway here, and that's a pain in the ass.
You have 4 auras that can shoot at 3 different formations depending on which button is held down. They are all powered-up seperately so if you want to power-up a certain one, you have to make sure that aura is the one that grabs the power-up icon. In my opinion, Dark spirits, IMO, is one of the better games in the G.G series, but it's still a little dull.
As for whether these G.G games have an end, I really don't know (and for most of them, I really don't care). It gets harder and harder the further you progress. I had trouble beating the 3rd loop of Wonder Land because the bosses literally spewed out bullet hell, and Z-ONE is way too boring to play through the end because its difficulty actually doesn't pick up until Stage 30. :|
Alright, I'm probably a bit wrong on it but I'll tell you what I know.
If you turn your DS around you basically become the enemy and your original ship becomes the new target. Surely there is more to it and that video would help immensely (that Kanji is rough for me). I'm not sure why it's not up seeing as how the release is next week.
If anyone gets the new gyaku shooting tomorrow I would love to hear some impressions. I'll probably get it if its any bit enjoyable seeing as it is 200 points.
