    Aurora S. ★★★★★

    Wasn't sure a rhythm game could work with a light gun-style shooter on the NES, but the timing window feels forgiving enough that I stopped blaming the controller. The silver cart looks sharp on the shelf too.

    Natalie K. ★★★☆☆

    The rail-shooter rhythm mix is a neat idea for the NES and the sprite work is genuinely sharp, but the timing windows feel too tight for a d-pad and I kept dropping combos on the third stage. Fine for a novelty pickup, just don't expect to breeze through it.
