Ai Cho Aniki

Cover

***Ai Cho Aniki*** (愛・超兄貴, *Super Big Brother of Love*) is a shoot 'em up video game developed by Masaya and released in 1995 for the Super CD-ROM² and later on the Wii Virtual Console in Japan. It features a soundtrack by Taku Iwasaki.

## Gameplay

Players take control over one of the two bodybuilders, Adon and Samson. Unlike other shoot 'em up games where the character flies horizontally, here they are oriented vertically, which at principle makes them a huge target, though the game is balanced out by having a button for dodging, which makes them invincible for as long as the button is held.

*Ai Cho Aniki* features a very unconventional gameplay, starting for it's controls: by pressing the shot button, the character only fires a weak homing shot. In order to use more powerful moves, the player has to input button combinations similar to those of fighting games (like back-forward or quarter-circle motions). Playing through a stage, the character will build-up energy on his head hole in order to unleash the Men's Beam: a powerful beam which covers a good portion of the screen and causes massive damage to enemies and bosses.

*Ai Cho Aniki* is only four stages long, though each stage is divided into three lengthy substages which culminate into a boss fight. Instead of lives, the game runs on a timer: when the timer reaches zero the game is over. The player character has three hit points, and losing a life removes one unit of the timer. During the stages Benten will show up and deliver power-ups which replenish the players life and the timer.

## Story

It's been two years since Idaten and Benten fought. After Botei Bill's death, the galaxy regained peace and the people were enjoying a world of peace... At that time, Idaten sensed disturbing movements in the Builder system once again and went to investigate on his own. However, his whereabouts disappeared after leaving Builder Planet! When Benten learned of this, she sent two heroes, Adon and Samson, to locate Idaten and investigate any abnormalities in the Builder system.

Cho Aniki

Cover

***Cho Aniki*** (超兄貴, *Super Big Brother*) is a shoot 'em up video game developed by Masaya and published by NCS, originally released in December 1992 for the PC Engine CD in Japan. It was later ported in 2003 to Windows through Project EGG and in 2010 to the Wii Virtual Console. It is the inaugural entry in the *Cho Aniki* series.

## Gameplay

*Cho Aniki* is an horizontal scrolling shoot 'em up. Players can choose between Idaten and Benten, with Idaten using concentrated fire while Benten have spread shot. One button is used for the standard shots while the second button deploys screen-clearing bombs. By holding the shot button the character will build-up power, unleashing a powerful attack as the button is lifted. Another button changes player's speed to make dodging some obstacles easier (there are four speed settings with the default one being three). To add to the player's arsenal are helpers which act as options, protecting the player from damage. Whenever large enemies are defeated, they drop protein, which can be picked by either the player character or the options to power them up.

## Story

The emperor Botei Bill, who rules over the Builder Empire centered on the Bo Star and has achieved the feat of winning 10 times in a row in the Great Galactic Bodybuilding Contest, is worried about the quick depletion of protein resources. They have finally began indiscriminately invading neighboring star systems and setting up protein mining plants. Sensing a crisis, Heaven ordered the subjugation of the Builder Army and dispatched Idaten and Benten. And thus, the curtain fell on the sweaty and hot battle between Idaten and the Builder Army.

## Characters

* **Idaten and Benten**: The two heroes of the game.
* **Adon and Samson**: Two bodybuilders who act as options.
* **Uminin**: A blue, flat creature who also acts as an option.
* **Angel**: Cherubs who also acts as options. Only appear when playing as Benten.

## Stages and Bosses

In *Cho Aniki: Seinaru Protein Densetsu* he grows a mustache and sideburns.
