The original Japanese release of this called "Gradius Generation" has an extra unlockable mode and being a shmup doesn't really have a language barrier. I recommend that one over the western ports with cut content.

It's a good day when it starts with a new SNES drunk video.
Thanks for being there, dude.

The German word for straight ahead is Geradeaus. I always thought since your ships go in one direction it was close enough.
And thanks for making me think of my SNES screaming like Goku. That mental image is hilarious and will make the slowdown easier to deal with.

This was one of my favorites. Should’ve mentioned the mode that shows you exactly how to get past each part of the stages, even without power-ups.

Another sequel I wasn't aware of. And it seems like it's a pretty good one, being more forgiving and polished than Gradius III. I just love this channel

I love when you step out of the SNES universe and do a 5-min review of some left-field hidden gem.

Another SNES hatrick this week! Looks like a good addition to the Gradius library....and reminder that Konami used to make games.

Excellent! Today is Nation Moon Day and it's all about celebrating space exploration! Right on for this upload today and great video!

I don't know if anyone ever says it back, so... I hope YOU have a great rest of your day too, Drunk.

The pronunciation is disputed, yes. One of the creators said he only picked the name because he liked the way it sounded.
As kids we said GRAY-dee-us, Japan and Shmup Junkie say GRAH-dee-us, while the fourth and fifth games vocalize it as GRADD-ee-us, same as you say in this video.
One thing I'll always give this game, though: The options screen uses Konami Morning Music, the greatest game tune you've never heard.

Cool beans. :) This is one of the only Gradius games I haven’t tried yet and I’m consistently impressed by the way series can make it feel worth it to play through difficult sections over and over again to beat them when so many other games that tried the same thing just end up feeling frustrating.

To answer your question, hell yes it's worth coming back to. My first Game Boy Advance game I got for my birthday in December 2001. The world had recently changed, 9/11 was still on our minds. It was an unsure time but getting a GBA and this game brought good memories.

More GBA content, let's gooooo!

Coffee and SNES Drunk...like Ice Cube said, "Today is a good day"

Your comment at 1:02 gave me an idea for a tagline for the GBA Gradius. "Same ship. New console" :D

0:59 Gradius Galaxies: Same ship, different day

Gradius Galaxies on the GBA is awesome! It gets overlooked because It's on a handheld. If you like Shoot 'em ups, you'll love Gradius Galaxies. It's the second Gradius to get overlooked. The first is Gradius gaiden on the PS1. It's one of the best Gradius games ever made! Check it out...Anyway, love your show, I watch every video you put up on YouTube. I only wish they were longer.😊

IIRC, Gradius Gaiden had the name pronounced three different ways depending on which voiceover you choose in the options menu: the way you (and the commercial) pronounced it GRAH-dius, GRAY-dius, and gruh-DEE-us. I wrote an absurdly long paper on it decades ago.

Yes, Gradius has an actual story. There's actually an anime from the 1980's, made by Konami themselves called "Salamander OVA", based off the Life Force (Salamander) series of Gradius games. Highly recommend.
