Created by eccentric, fan-favorite Japanese developer TREASURE, Bangai-O Spirits for Nintendo DS™ is a re-imagination of their cult classic 90s videogame Bangai-O. Addictive, twitch-fest shooter gameplay includes punishing supermoves and a sensory overload of fireworks onscreen. More than 160 levels are seasoned with strategic and tactical elements, as well as TREASURE’s signature quirky design style. Bangai-O Spirits boasts a powerful level editor tool, ad hoc wireless multiplayer for up to four players and the pioneering new Sound Load technology.

KEY FEATURES:
• Classic Twitch-Fest Action Shooter Gameplay – Maneuver through the omni-directional, explosive sensory overload onscreen as you conquer challenging themed obstacles through strategic trial and error and collect quirky powerups to create Combo Attacks that annihilate your enemies.
• Powerful Level Editor – Use the DS touch screen and stylus to design and perfect your own original levels to play and share, either from scratch or by editing any of the 160+ existing levels in the game from the very beginning—you can essentially access the full game code from the moment you press ‘start.’
• Original Sound Load Technology Offers Infinite Possibilities – Swap levels, game footage replays or high score statistics by converting the data into a sound file that is output through your DS speaker. Your sound files can be received and interpreted between DS systems, uploaded and circulated online via the Internet, or saved to a recording device like a PC or jump drive for transport and distribution, allowing you to catalog, share and compare levels online easily with gamers all over the world.
• Robust Multiplayer – Play ad hoc wireless multiplayer for up to four players in co-op mode; combine this with the Level Editor and Sound Load for addictive and infinite replay opportunities.
• Wide Variety of Weapons and Tactics– Select strategic combinations of the game’s ten weapons— Napalm Missiles, Homing Missiles, Bounce Missiles, Break Missiles, Direct Missiles, Freeze, Reflect, Sword, Bat and Shield— from two different classes to discover ideal strategic advantages and create just the right attacks.
