Who names a shmup after a minivan anyway? The Gameboy wasn't noted for this genre because there was no way to have turbo controller support so the developer's solution was 10 fps framerates so you have plenty of time to react to enemies without button mashing.

Magical Chase on the GBC is a nice shmup. Very impressive. It's a pc engine port though

>kept the same name in the US
guess it didn't count as trademark infringement because it wasn't the same type of product. still it's a funny "only 90s kids will get this joke" joke

I bet if it was a racing/driving game they'd have to change the name or beg Ford's permis.

As this anon said, the 6502 is a potato. it takes so much code to do anything compared to the LR35902. A given Gameboy title will only need half the ROM size it takes to do the same game on the NES.
