I am a bit busy here with my recently released game. A week ago I put my music cover on youtube for the NES game.
If you played Zen Intergalactic Ninja you probably know it has pretty good music. Just as most of Konami games do have.
So here it is, check it out. And also screenshots of original game that let you remember if you played it long ago.
Oh and in case you wonder. Yes It’s a same piece looped 3 times. I wanted to work more with it and make more variations. But just had no time for it. So it was gathering dust for 2 years and I think I’d better upload as is!
There is big chance you’ve heard this music already. But I making it into a post anyway.
Saverio Paiella written probably most unique music covers on the Guardian Legend music. It sounds like. Not sure how this style called but it sounds like The Cowboy Robot Legend 🙂
Here I attach soundcloud player with all 5 Guardian Legend tracks by Saverio Paiella. If it not loads, that might be soundcloud server issue sometimes.
You can find more music covers in music section(requires flash player installed). I need to update it with new music player and more music tracks (but it will be long before it happens I guess ;P ).
First of all thanks to the amazing Optomon who donated for the site to keep going. He is amazing because he made The Guardian Legend:Secret Edition. That is really helpful, I am thankful to you! 🙂
And now to the post.
I bet most of us thought that it would be so cool if there was some sequel to the game. And maybe with different heroes to select. But did you thought that the heroes could be so different like differnce between RGP classes? You know like Knight, Wizard, Archer. I think it would be great idea. That totally makes sense since the game has adventure walking mode . And would make even greater gameplay difference between classes because of changes into SHMUP mode.
Hard to imagine what kind of classes could be in potential TGL like or sequel game. Maybe there is something like that in SHMUP or futuristic RPG games already.
The idea come to me when I looked at this fan art. Or maybe correct to say art inspired by?
He thinks that Neptunia games probably have some impact from The Guardian Legend game.
I would say his Zhaina character abilities could be around ice and freezing. Also I think there better to be male characters too! If you remember there was few male characters done based on TGL character concept. Especially this one. Ordered by our forum member RubyC42 (AKA youtube RubycoredBejeweled)
The genre is so called Metroidvania and SHMUP. There are a lot of places to walk, jump and fight around. A lot. Just like Metroid. You will find special weapons and upgrades. Very much like in TGL. The flying stages have a lot from TGL. Author made many enemies and bosses almost directly from TGL. And the protagonist is also a transformer.
But I warn you! The walking and jumping here is a lot more than flying. So if you love Metroid this is good for you.
I should mention that the game is still in Beta. It’s a full game already but there should be some minor updates. So keep that in mind. The game also should have some different endings. Yes the game has plot. I am not sure how much endings it has now(there was at least one). Let me know.
The youtube user Bragatyr played the music from The Guardian Legend on his piano. Or is he playing a midi keyboard? I don’t know. But clearly he played by hands. The sound quality is kinda poor. Has crackles and need some post process brushing. But it is OK for listen to it for one or few times.
Look at that. Very nice view on the costume. Just as I see the Miria in the game. That is the way how I always seen her. Not a bikini and skin but some cover! If you look closer to the details artist made, it is visible that this is not a human body. Only her head is human. I think that belly button was not necessary tho. I guess this is done considering general public demands to exaggerate sexiness in games fan arts.
That blaster does look belong to the Guardian Legend universe. Not ideal probably. I don’t think such a cyborg needs to press trigger with a finger to shoot. But it’s OK and acceptable. I’d agree to play a sequel with such a gun.
I think artist captured the feel of the game pretty well! At least that’s how I feel too 🙂
Thank you Stephen for this great fan art!
