    A shmup with a quicksave feature! Blasphemy!

    Other than that it will be a great compilation. Gradius 1-3 are classics, Gradius IV is a bit naff but playable and the japanese only Gradius Gaiden is godly. The quicksave will come in useful for Gradius 2 which is pure evil.

    It kinda makes sense for mobile platforms. Lets you save if the batteries are running down, or if you get to work/school/whereever and pick up where you left off on your way home.

    I was only joking it does make sense. Also the Gradius games aren't the easiest games ever. I've only finished IV. I know Gradius 2 is impossible if you die on the last level and lose all your power ups.

    I've seen here how seriously you take your games, so I wasn't too sure :)

    Gradius games put you back to the start or midpoint of the stage just like R-type and evil Konami went through a stage when you couldn't credit feed their games and you had to restart after 9 credits. This happens in Gradius 1-3.
