9Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain is an action platformer that has you punching your way through enemies. You pick up upgrades that allow you to obtain a helper drone weapon with varying abilities. This was released as Shatterhand in North America and Europe. Some of the platforming can be frustrating and unfortunately there's a fair bit of slowdown. The cutscenes are beautiful and thankfully you don't need to understand Japanese to follow the story. The weapons are unique, the graphics are fantastic, and the gameplay has the right level of challenge.
