Burai Fighter Game

Ever dream of blasting through waves of enemies in a fast-paced, side-scrolling shooter with a twist? Burai Fighter for the NES is your ticket to chaotic, screen-filling action—but with a cool 360-degree shooting mechanic that sets it apart from the usual run-and-gun crowd. Instead of just moving left or right, your ship (or ground-based character, depending on the mode) can aim in any direction, turning every level into a frantic ballet of dodging and precision fire.

Originally released in 1990, this hidden gem mixes the intensity of Contra with the strategic aiming of Ikari Warriors, wrapped in that classic NES charm. With multiple endings, co-op play, and even a vertical shooter mode, Burai Fighter keeps you on your toes—whether you’re battling alien hordes or just trying to survive its brutal difficulty. Nostalgic, challenging, and wildly inventive, it’s a shooter that deserves more love. Ready to spin and shoot your way to victory?
