The 3DS port of Gunstar Heroes is now available for purchase and it is easily the best version of Gunstar Heroes ever. It features both the Japanese and International versions of the game, the ability to swap between Free and Fixed aiming at any time and the 3D effects are great.

Lightning + Flame forever.

Though the battle might be endless, I will never give up
"To use a rather mundane example, I would say that 3D Shinobi III and 3D Streets of Rage were Kaio-ken, this project is M2 finally going Super Saiyan."

It's a run and gun game like Contra but you can throw guys and do slide kicks and air dives and when you get two weapon types they combine into one super weapon. Also the music is great.

All of their 3D ports have been aces, and I'll be buying this tonight even though I've never played gunstar heroes.

I played the poo poo out of that game when I was at the home of my cousin who had a Genesis and with a kaillera emulator with some buds, does this port has multiplayer?

This game is loving awesome. I played a shitton of Contra III 17 years ago and whatever and this feels like that, but better.

OP mentions switching between free and fixed at any time but I haven't been able to figure out that option yet. Unless it's in the other version of the game. Anyway I beat Stage 1, Stage 2 boss is a real fucker so I tried Stage 3 which is awesome!

If you choose Gunslinger on the menu screen you can change by pressing X. I think it might delete your save though so be's careful. It also lets you toggle between any weapon with L and R but I don't do that because it feels like cheating.

Honestly switching midstage feels kinda cheap. The trade off is between making stages easier (shoot while moving) and making bosses easier (shoot standing still).

Yah, in 3d with multiple releases to choose from and it auto saves replays.

When I played this game with my older brother I'd pick Free Aim and he'd pick Fix Aim, I always felt that was the best setup you could have. Being able to switch at will definitely makes the game way easier but I'm glad they added it because you could do it in the GBA sequel
