Konami Code minigame made with Made in Ore, played on the Asobu! Made in Ore WiiWare game. While the pointer-based Konami Code input game seems basically like a nightmare, I’m impressed with the fact that the NicoVideo user who made this was able to both draw the Vic Viper and compose the intro to the classic Gradius music in Made in Ore’s utilities. The music even automatically speeds up along with the game!

When I saw this video, it gave me the idea to make a Shooting Watch game with Made in Ore. I told Eric, and it took him about five seconds to find that someone already had. It’s even better than the one I would have made/will make, with a little Takahashi Meijin head that pops up after sixteen shots to tell you to “play one hour a day!”

Gradius Rebirth (WiiWare), Stage 1

Notice that the player pauses the game at the 1:00 mark to cheat and unlock more powerful weapons — possibly using the Konami code!

Update: Apparently, the title suffers some slowdown during a few portions, like in Stage 2 (5:30 onward). Also, we’ve uploaded a 12-minute video from Gradius Rebirth, but the encoding is a bit janky.
