Side-scrolling shooter fans, get your fix with Nanostray 2, the follow-up to the Nintendo DS scrolling shooter. Fans of retro shooters will want to pick the Japanese shooter up, which blends classic elements of the genre with a few new elements on the DS. Bosses (16 of 'em) and bio-mechanical menaces included, Nanostray 2 shifts between horizontal and vertical views, with 3D elements thrown in. A leaderboard on Nanostray2.com keeps track of top scores, using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. There's also a 2 player co-op or 2-player VS. challenge.
