“I thought that I might get some complaints from the staff for so quickly agreeing to it without thinking about staffing and schedules, but everyone around agreed with my decision because…well, it’s Darius!” – Naoki Horii, M2
The distinct qualities of the original arcade/Super Darius soundtrack aren’t quite preserved here, but it’s still fine enough.
And though the enemy patterns aren’t actually any different than the original, I would imagine the zoomed-in view makes for a lot of re-learning for those who had spent a lot of time with Darius in the arcade.
The Ninja Warriors definitely wears that it’s an arcade game that is meant to overwhelm you and take your money on its sleeve, even more than the arcade version of Spartan X did.
