We had a tiny mix-up today, so we're only reviewing two games. We're discussing Actraiser 2 and Biometal. And you'll be sure to want to hear who won in the first four preliminary match ups of the 2023 SSMP Showdown.

Biometal is another horizontally scrolling shooter. But unlike other shooters on the SNES, this one is powered by Eurodance! Specifically, MIDI versions of songs by the 90's own 2 Unlimited.

And we'll just let ya know right now, that Actraiser 2 does not live up to the original. Actraiser is still sitting pretty high in the A tier. So how far does the sequal fall? B-tier? C-tier? Something worse than that? You'll have to listen to find out.

Thanks to everyone who voted, and check us out on social media to cast your vote for the next three rounds.
