God i hate this term but, whats your favorite "cute- em' up?"

[jtucci31]

If you guys haven't tried 3D Fantasy Zone II for the 3DS, you should.

I've been tempted to buy that for the 3DS, didn't know if it was worth it. Though the 3DS ports of Thunder Blade and Outrun have satisfied me greatly, so I could have guessed that this would be good too.

I'll give it a try tonight!

Magical Chase (JPN Ver, it's more colorful) by a long shot.

But Air Zonk and Ordyne are pretty good too. Coryoon is also fun.

Shooters are probably my favorite game genre, but I'm not a big fan of "cute-em-ups".  Something about shooting/destroying cute things just doesn't seem as satisfying to me as traditional shooters, but they are still fun.

Favorite would be Air Zonk.  A great addition/spin-off to the Bonk series.   

Star Parodier is cool and have great graphics but I expected it to have as hilarious jokes as the Parodius series has and was a bit disappointed. Not a bad shooter or anything though.

I too was a bit disappointed. Game has nice colorful graphics, good music and great controls but seems a little boring at certain points.  Maybe its the challenge since Star Parodier seems way too easy on the default difficulty setting.

Coryoon,
Magical Chase

I accept Monster Lair as both a cute-me-up and a "cute run-n-gun"

Air Zonk and Magical Chase for me, as much because they're not all that hard (and I suck) as because they look, play, and sound great.

STEAM HEARTS


the end.

Star Parodier is far and away my favorite, it's cute as all f*ck, but it's not a slouch in the difficulty department later on...

Near the top of my list is L-Dis.  It's cute, weird, but gets damn tough.

Fruit-em-up.

Aside from the egg plants, there's nothing fruity about the Cho Aniki games for PCE. Just the opposite.

You could perhaps call Ai Cho Aniki an "Oil 'em Up".

My favorite will always be Keio Flying Squadron on Sega CD. Everything about that game just clicks for me... the art style, the music, the characters, the gameplay. It all comes together into a big 'ol ball of happy times!
