Gradius V

A new ESRB rating has been revealed for Gradius V, a 2004 PS2 shoot ’em up game. The platform that is listed is PlayStation 3, which suggests that the game will be re-released as a PlayStation 2 Classic.

Assuming Gradius V will be re-released, this will be the first release for the series in North America since 2008 with Gradius Rebirth on the WiiWare service. Gradius V was well received upon initial release, with critics praising its old school appeal while criticizing its difficulty and reliance upon genre conventions.

We will tell you more as this continues to develop. You can see the new rating for Gradius V here.
