A brief history of Treasure's shooters
Whether you're a fan of shmups or wish to throw a pile of dictionaries at us for using such an egregious portmanteau, you could learn a thing or two from DS Fanboy's tribute to the shoot-em-up kings at Treasure. From 1993's Gunstar Heroes (released last year as a Virtual Console title) to this year's Bangai-O Spirits, the piece covers all of the developers' projectile-favored games (sorry Dynamite Heddy fanatics).

My god, judging by your past comments, you have to be one of the most irritating and simple-minded people ever born.
You could be the poster child of abortion clinics.

Tiptup you'd be right except for one thing...
TREASURE IS THE SHIT AND YOU KNOW IT.

Yes and lets not forget Axelay, while it was on the SNES, Axelay was the last game the Treasure team made before leaving Konami and forming Treasure. That's why Axelay rocks, and that's also why Axelay 2 has never been made... there's kind of a rights issue.

Someone needed some dictionaries thrown at people using awful portmanteaus?
(And seriously, when did "portmanteau" become all the rage?)

The GBA game? Yeah. It's probably one of the best licensed titles ever.

-Anime quality graphics
-Hilarious characters
-Insane action

The only developer outside of Valve that, off the top of my head, I can say that not one of the games I've played by them are bad. In fact, all of them that I've played are really awesome in every way.
