Fantasy Zone
Reviewing the Virtual Console re-release, "Nintendo Life"s Corbie Dillard praised its responsive controls, arcade-accurate visuals and upbeat soundtrack. "IGN"s Lucas M. Thomas commended its anime-inspired world and co-op play feature. "Eurogamer"s Dan Whitehead compared it with "Xevious", stating it was not as good as "MUSHA" nor as cute as "Fantasy Zone" but regarded it as an appealing vertical-scrolling shooter for casual players.
