BS Spriggan Powered is one of those weird, Japan-only SNES games that somehow slipped under the radar. It's a side-scrolling shooter with a mech twist—you pilot this bulky armored thing called a Spriggan, blasting through waves of enemies with a mix of standard shots and these satisfying charge attacks.

The first thing you'll notice is how chunky the sprites are—everything feels heavy, from your mech's lumbering movement to the way enemy explosions shake the screen. The power-up system's straightforward at first, but after a few levels, you start unlocking these wild alternate weapons that completely change how you play. I remember getting this spread-shot upgrade and suddenly feeling unstoppable... right before the next boss humbled me.

It's got that classic 90s shooter vibe where memorizing enemy patterns matters more than reflexes. If you're into games like Assault Suits Valken or just dig obscure mech action, this one's worth digging up. Just don't expect a deep story—the manual probably explains more than the actual game.
