The Famicom and PC Engine ports were re-released for the Wii Virtual Console in 2007, the latter getting an international release. No version of Gradius II saw a release in North America until its inclusion in the Gradius Collection in 2006. There was also a release for Mobile phones on 2004 and Windows Phone on 2010. Gradius II was later re-released in the Japanese exclusive Gradius Deluxe Pack for the PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Microsoft Windows in 1996, and for the first time a worldwide release on the Gradius Collection for the PlayStation Portable in 2006. The graphics remained nearly unaltered, the background music is mostly the arcade version's soundtrack in redbook audio format, and one additional stage was added that is similar to the temple stage in the NES version of Life Force and the first stage of Gradius III. Presumably this was due to the fact that the Famicom version employed a custom memory mapper dubbed the VRC4, which enhanced some of the game's graphics and sounds, such as animation and voices, thus converting the game to a standard memory mapper (as Konami later did with Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse) would have been too time-consuming (since the original Gradius was not as popular overseas as it was in Japan).Ī PC-Engine Super CD-ROM² port was later released only in Japan in 1992. The game was first ported to the Family Computer in 1988 and was never released outside Japan. This downloadable game allows you to play the classic original on your PSP handheld system or PS3.

The shield option adds more durability, but only for the front of the Vic Viper, while the forcefield adds protection for the entire spacecraft, albeit only against three hits. Additionally, there are also two types of shielding to choose from: shield and forcefield. The player can have at most four multiples. All schemes have speed-up and multiples (Options), but have differing 'Missile', 'Double' (laser), and 'Laser' weapons. Gradius II retains the selection bar from Gradius, but now the player can choose between four different weapon configurations and progressions. Another first in the series was the inclusion of the "boss rush" (also known as "boss parade" or "boss alley"), a level designed entirely with only boss confrontations. This is primarily evident in two of the weapons configurations that are selectable. Gradius II has kept the gameplay from the original game, but infused it with enhancements brought from the spin-off, Salamander (Life Force).
