Bitmob Budget Games: Star Parodier

Price: $9.00

Where: Wii Virtual Console

Star Parodier is a shoot-em-up for the TurboGrafx-16.  Its name comes from another shooter, Star Soldier, into which its Japanese developers cleverly spliced the word "parody."  As such, you might call this game a "cute-em-up" because it relinquishes dark, battle-related themes common in shooters for a lighter aesthetic.  You can literally fly a TurboGrafx-16 and shoot CDs at crabs.  Or fly a regular ship and shoot clouds at fishies!  Either way, it's a great purchase.

Everyone knows the TG16 was a great system for shooters...but who knew it was also great for parody shooters?! Looks like a good one.
