Just got this for MD, US version in minty condition for $13, waiting for it to arrive but was messing about with it on emulator earlier.
As far as I can tell, Grind Stormer is the US version and V Five is the Japanese one, but on the MD conversion you can choose between either one in the options menu, which is lovely coz they're essentially two different ways to play the game.
In Grind Stormer mode you get power-ups predetermined at whichever point of the level you're in and also have a smart bomb button.
In V Five mode the power-up system is like Gradius and you have to put up with bull**** like using speed-up options.
You get given 2 options from the start that expand or contract depending how you move when you let go of fire. If you contract them all the way they turn into a big laser death cock, which is always nice.
Anyone else enjoy this game?
