This day just gets better and better as we have just been informed by our good friend Retro Nerd, of a famous shoot 'em up by Konami that is being ported over to the Sega Genesis by Nendo16. That game is part of the Gradius series as ' Gradius II ', which originally appeared as a horizontal-scrolling shooter for the arcades in Japan in 1988, with later developments for the PC-Engine and Sharp X68000. Although it did also appear on the Playstation and Sega Saturn it has never appeared on the Sega Genesis, at least until now!
