I'd like to see the sequel as to what happened after.

I just got AH the other day. It's good, but the gameplay is somewhat unpolished- many of the enemies don't telegraph their attacks, which makes it feel kind of cheap, plus the foreground layer and explosions often obscure bullets, and the game has its fair share of bugs- the GC version seems to have vsync turned off, and the first time I played an enemy appeared that I just couldn't kill- my bullets went right through him. I've also heard of the game suddenly crashing on both platforms. A good effort, but nowhere near as the games it was inspired by.
Well, it's up to you. 
I think it'll be in plentiful supply for a while, but it may not be around forever. It's still better than 90% of the other GCN games out there. I think it's well worth the $30, especially to show support for a small dev house, but with all the other great games coming out right now, it might be sensible to wait a bit.

Itâs been said about Gunstar Heroes that itâs one of the coolest platform games & better than anything the SNES has to offer.
I found the gameplay boring, the graphics not that great compared other platformers & the music was very annoying even for Genesis standards.
Some level were just never ending boss fights, especially that dice-maze level. (Now I understand where Radiant Silvergun Boss fights were inspired from.)
Itâs very overrated imho.

Gunstar Heroes Returns?
From IGN:
"Sega has recently registered Gunstar Super Heroes as a new trademark, hinting that the company is in the works with a new game based on its incredibly well-received Genesis action shooter Gunstar Heroes developed by Treasure more than a decade ago.
When contacted, the company would not comment on the registered trademark or which system the game may be in development for. It's also unknown if the game is a console or handheld title.
If it's a remake or remix of the classic Genesis and Megadrive game, the most appropriate home would be the Game Boy Advance due to its massive install base and its inherent ability to accurately reproduce games from the 16-bit era. Sega's Sonic Advance series, as well as the numerous Genesis and Super NES ports from other publishers are a testament to this.
As we know more about the development, we'll keep on this one."

Music isn't the GBA's strong point, I doubt Gunstar Heroes will sound any better than it did on Genesis.
The only similar game I've seen on the PCE is Shubibiman 3 for the DUO which is a mixture of Sparkster & Gunstar Heroes, but it's not as well animated & has less enemy sprites on screen than Gunstar Heroes...Is it so is it my idea? That's strange as I thought PCE DUO was more powerful than the basic Genesis.
What other similar games are there for the PCE HuCard or DUO CD?
