Originally released in 1998, MYSTICAL NINJA starring GOEMON is an action role-playing game featuring three different characters to control, each with unique skills.

Heavy Fire: Special Operations 3D - Think you've got what it takes to be a Special Forces legend?

Gear up and join an elite Special Forces unit in Heavy Fire: Special Operations 3D, an arcade-style on-rail shooter for the Nintendo 3DS system. Choose from three character profiles, each with unique attributes, and use a combination of brains and brawn (mostly brawn) to blast your way through a variety of dangerous ground-, vehicle- and air-based stages.

And if you're really feeling trigger-happy, you can earn additional points by blowing up the environment. Each victory raises your military rank, earning you increasingly powerful and upgradeable weapons.

You'll need preternatural reflexes and a never-say-die spirit to restore peace in the ever-volatile Middle East. When the smoke clears, will you be a Special Operations legend?
