and what's wrong with a mode 7 Space Harrier, heck, that just sounds cool in of itself. Treasure has their B-list efforts (Wario World, Stretch Panic) and their A-List (Bangai-O, Astro Boy). Nobody is infallable, but everybody loves at least one of their games enough to keep having optimistic feelings for their future games.
and yeah, Tatio Legends 2 has an amazing, amazing lineup. I want Empire to get off their tea-sipping arse and get it out here already. Its got Growl on it for Eff's sake.
and Radio Allergy looks kinda neat. Its got a unique (especially low-tech) visual sense and is the first cute shooter to get published in America in many years.
