What I did in the game: All Achievements earned.
The One Picture I have taken: Achievements screen.
M2 strikes again! This is to Gradius what they did for Castlevania recently. We're getting a compilation of the first 3 arcade Gradius, the 2 arcade Salamander (and Life Force) and a brand new game crafted by M2: Salamander 3. Every games come with every arcade variant possibles, tons and tons of options to play with, beautiful interface, lot of extras. It's just too much. The only thing missing here would be the Console games, but seeing that it's an Arcade compilation I guess it's ok. It's just that by entering the Konami Code in the Gradius 1 version selection screen, you actually unlock VS. Gradius, which is basically the NES game. You also unlock a variant of Salamander with Gradius power-up like in Life Force in the same way (which is the best of both world because I prefer the set-up of Salamander but the power-up system of Life Force), but I would have also like the NES version of Life Force, which for me is my favorite version of the first Salamander. But other than that, it's perfect. Completion wise, you also have Achievements that ask you to beat every game alongside doing some neat things in each games, most of them that will make you learn about an Easter Egg, which is cool! Really, if you have any kind of love for Konami shmup, this is a must! I've deleted their old Anniversary Arcade Collection to replace it for this! Now I want a TwinBee and Parodius Origins Collection!
