Cotton 2: Magical Night Dreams (1997)
Genres:Shooter
Themes:Action, Fantasy
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Released first as an arcade game on Sega's ST-V hardware in 1997. Only months later, it received a virtually arcade-perfect console port on the Sega Saturn. Considered the true sequel to the first game in the series, Cotton 2 also marks the introduction of two new primary characters: Appli, a young princess, and her anthropomorphic hat, Needle. Cotton 2 sees a return to traditional horizontal scrolling in the series, but it also stands out among shoot 'em ups in general for its unique gameplay system. With a heavy incorporation of Newtonian physics, Cotton 2 ultimately mixes elements of 2D platformers with traditional shoot 'em up gameplay. The first release of Cotton 2 on the Sega Saturn also included a mini-calendar for 1998.Show more

Cotton 2's current Steam release by City Connection encrypts the game's ROM so people are stuck with an inferior emulator that has input lag and emulation issues, without any English translations and no additional content. The game itself looks great, but there's currently not really a good way to play it in the modern day.
So yeah. I'd prefer if Cotton 2 got a better modern release.
