Metallic Uniframe Super Hybrid Virtual Console Game

Musha Aleste came out in Japan back in April, and it was rated by the OFLC for PAL release (though that hasn't happened yet). Also, it's a shooter, which almost guarantees a game's worldwide availability on the Virtual Console. We knew that Compile's M.U.S.H.A. (as it was known in its American release on the Genesis) would be bound for the North American VC soon, and now there's one less roadblock on the way to its release: it's been rated by the ESRB.

If you haven't played it, M.U.S.H.A. is a vertically scrolling shooter developed by Compile, creators of so many awesome shmups, including Zanac and Blazing Lazers. While it's hard to explain what makes one shmup better than others, we think this one's really keen.
