For best results view at 1080p60fps. It's another episode of "How About That!," the series in which I take a look at a game that is either really good or somehow noteworthy for the system on which it appears. This time around, here's the Famicom / NES port of Gradius II! This one kicks things up a notch and was really a bit TOO ambitious for the hardware it was on. So what makes it worth looking at? Watch this complete playthrough with commentary to find out!

This is a long play or let's play style video.
