Gate of Thunder (TurboGrafx-16)

WWW.VIRTUAL-TURBO.COM
Here's some gameplay footage of the greatest shooter ever created. I like Radiant Silvergun and Axelay, but pound for pound, Gate of Thunder is the best. **COMING IN OCTOBER TO THE WII VIRTUAL CONSOLE **

@sybnios Childish games? Their mascot was a blue hedgehog. Each company was focused on children; anyone who says otherwise is ignorant.
sybnios (7 months ago)
As for the shooters just let me remind you some.. Eliminate Down, Gleylancer, Battle Mania 1,2, Thunderforce 2,3,4, Gynoug, Zero Wing, Steel Empire, MUSHA ALESTE, Elemental Master, Hellfire, Biohazard Battle, Gaiares and more.... You have to be joking right?? I own all the above games plus almost every Nintendo console with many many games so I have a wide variety for stating my opinion which it might be true for many gamers out there... Cheers.
sybnios (7 months ago)
Sorry man but I grew and started playing videogames with a NES on 1989 and then I found out what SEGA has to offer.. My comment that Nintendo produced and still make childish games is a fact! Beautiful games still but more childish. SEGA games and consoles were more adult oriented.
nessonic (8 months ago)
@sybnios I hardly consider Genesis when even remotely considering shooters, much less when trying to decide which console is "best." I grew up with a Genesis, and it wasn't until I was much older I found out why Nintendo won- greater amounts of far better games equals a better system for consumers in the early nineties. Who "won" isn't an opinion, but saying Nintendo produced more childish titles is a very ignorant comment.
sybnios (8 months ago)
Yeap me too! The last 4 months I am focused on collecting-gaming for my PC-Engine Duo-R and I see what do you mean for Japanese releases, although I believe that was happening in general.. Japan was always getting the best and most shoot em ups and RPGs exclusively in Japan. On some systems that was happening a lot on others less but it was a fact!
kirgeez (8 months ago)
@sybnios I totally agree. I still can't see how people are comparing this really plain Shmup (which I happen to own both of them) to Thunder Force III one of the best shmups of all time. I do think the all three system had some great shmups but to be fair here in the US the most of the TG16s best game were only released in Japan.
quijeros (9 months ago)
this game was just badass. the best thing that turbo grafx offered.
SonOfRevenge2 (11 months ago)
IT HAS THAT ARCADE FEEL!!!!
alxxz (11 months ago)
Great game, but a bit overrated imo. It just doesn't offer many new elements to stand out from the crowd even compared to Thunder Force III, which has a better gameplay, level design and more imposing Boss music imo. GOT has nice music but Lords of Thunder is simply the better game.
MobiusO7 (1 year ago)
This reminds me a lot of Thunder Force 3 for the Genesis!
TheSuperNESman (1 year ago)
is this on hucard or cd (im guessing by the music cd)
sybnios (1 year ago)
SEGA Megadrive was not only a threat to Snes but it was the winner.. despite the fewer sales. The console had the most GEMS in retro videogame history. No shooter is better in Snes than the many Megadrive has. Nintendo has always been more childish than the serious gaming SEGA had to offer.
1543V (1 year ago)
its got the arcade feel!
laprasking (1 year ago)
Without a doubt, one of the greatest gaming soundtracks my ears have had the pleasure to listen too.
kirgeez (1 year ago)
Now this game shows off what the PC engine could do graphically. Nice!!!
Abasuto (1 year ago)
This game rocks, but I personally prefer Lords of Thunder just a tad bit more.

tubebunny7 (1 year ago)
Still the SNES basically was a slower machine with better graphics. In the end it had a better tradeoff, the Genesis had plenty of speed but had a lower limits in terms of graphic capability (less colors and resolution). If the Genesis had a more flexible GPU it would have been a real threat to the SNES.
clownhorse (1 year ago)
Actually I've seen a lot of games like this on the Super Nintendo, with no slowdown. Only the games with lower skilled programmers had slowdown in it.
chaos120 (1 year ago)
i love this game's soundtrack!
miiwii93 (1 year ago)
Not the best shooter ever, but the best shooter on the PC Engine! That's for sure (rounding Star Parodier in second, then Lords Of Thunder at third.)
BLahhamstick (1 year ago)
lol never mind.
BLahhamstick (1 year ago)
boy were you wrong!
visceralgristle (1 year ago)
Then you haven't seen Lords of Thunder.
gothguy18 (1 year ago)
this game is like Thunder Force 3 for Sega Genesis.
