Gradius lands on the Wii-U homefront, a classic shooter gem that was released before some of you were even born

Sometimes I hate to call games I grew up with "classics", as it makes me feel old. Well, enough about age complaints, I'm just glad to say that classic games have yet to die, and let us take steps to keep it that way. The past time prized Gradius shooter by Konami is no exception to the rule, as it lands on the Wii-U platform, and has been hailed as the pick of the week for Wii-U downloads. This long time favorite has seen so many spin off titles such as Parodius, Salamander, and much more recently Otomedius Gorgeous. You and I together couldn't count together with our fingers combined the number of titles that were given birth to by Gradius.

Many also don't realize that it was Gradius, and not Contra that brought to light the famous Konami code, which is still being used today in some form or another. Whether it's on someone's site as a funny joke, or used in games like BioShock Infinite to unlock the 1999 mode. Game of the week is likely too small a reward category for such a series.
