3D Gunstar Heroes for Nintendo 3DS

About 3D Gunstar Heroes for Nintendo 3DS

3D Gunstar Heroes brings Treasure’s explosive Mega Drive classic to the 3DS with its wild energy fully intact. You play as one of the Gunstar twins, fighting to stop an evil empire from reviving a destructive god with the power of stolen gems. What follows is a breathless tour of jungles, mines, flying battleships and a board game of doom, all rendered with layered 3D depth that makes every explosion pop off the screen.

The genius of Gunstar Heroes is its weapon system. Four gun types can be carried in pairs and combined into fresh attacks, from homing laser storms to walls of flame, so every player finds a favorite mix. You can also throw enemies, slide, dive kick and hang from rails, which makes movement as fun as shooting. A friend can join for the full campaign, and this version adds save help and new display options for comfort. Few games of its era feel this generous with ideas, and the screen filling bosses still manage to surprise you even after many full runs.

Treasure hunters need a cartridge for this one today. The Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, so new digital purchases are no longer possible. A physical copy from a retailer is the honest way to own the remake now. Players who bought it digitally before the closure can still access their purchased games on their own systems.

Pure arcade joy from start to finish, and a must for action fans.
