These English-language gameplay videos of Bangai-O Spirits give us a look at a few of the game's weapons -- the yellow Shield "weapon" there seems like a good choice for obvious reasons (including the number of bullets on screen and their tendency to blow you up upon impact). The "Mix" icon in the weapon selection screen (which can now be read) indicates that the two chosen EX weapons can combine into a new scatter bomb attack. Amusingly, within the first few seconds, we see the demo player fail a level. That's the mark of a hardcore game!
The video after the break shows off two of Spirits' more labyrinthine levels, as well as the awesome bullet-destroying "Sword" attack. We cannot express how thrilled we are that the release date is approaching. There hasn't been a DS game yet to match the few minutes of demo time we've had!

Can't wait to get my hands on it! Finally some new games to liven my DS back up. Looks like I'll be dropping quite a bit of cash this month - Bangai, Space Invaders, FFTA2, Soul Bubbles, oh my!

It's not as bad as you think. The release date may change between now and then, but as of today Bangai-O Spirits isn't due out until August 12th.

There is something so blissfully old school about a robot that shoots zillions of bullets and collects assorted fruits for powerups. I like the looks of it and I hope I can convince a friend to get a copy for co-op.

SWEET videos!
I hope this one turns out to be as hard as Contra. But maybe it's gonna be less frustrating, like N.
I'll buy it either way!
