Help! Trying to name an old SNES game

[NewNameNeeded]

As per title. I am trying to remember an old SNES game. Have checked a few websites listing games but can't find it. Was hoping the PH collective might be able to help.

I don't remember much:

- most likely a PAL game but not necessarily so. Was English language though.
- top down game in graphic style of Legend of Zelda / Secret of Mana
- seem to recall Asian / manga vibe to it. A little bit like Legend of Mystical Ninja or Parodius.
- 1-2 player
- game type was moving through levels frantically shooting baddies. Like Chaos Engine or Mercs crossed with Pokemon Rumble
- I think characters were animals and were a bit manga in style.
- I think one of the characters fired leaves but not entirely sure.

Not much to go on, but any ideas please?

Thanks
Matt

Cant think of it, sorry. I'll bet someone else will in a minute though.

But I have thought of a name for you, if as your current name suggests, you are still in need of one.

Iron Cat Flask!

might be the game before it though not sure.

Sounds like a good game, makes me think of a similar style game, but it was based on old horror movies, loved that game.

I bought a copy after being reminded of the name of it and it's as fun as I remember. I kind of miss that type of shooting game in a world of generic FPS titles. And having recently set up a SNES, Megadrive, Saturn, Dreamcast, N64,Gamecube,PSone,PS2 and XBOX I find the SNES graphics for this type of game still look pretty pleasant today. The games on the consoles between the 16-bit and current generation consoles look and feel much more dated to me.

All my Nintendos (and the Megadrive) are boxed.
One day I'll have a room to house them all in their glory.

Games like Yoshi's Island and Donkey Kong Country still look great today, whereas the early 3d efforts of the Playstation or Saturn look horribly dated and are often difficult to play. I used to love the Ridge Racer series but now find them completely unplayable, whereas Mario Kart and F Zero remain awesome

Pocky Rocky awesome game. All my SNES games are boxed up.

Another favourite of mine that you may not of heard of from the MSX era Penguin Adventure :-)

That's ace, love the Zoidberg noise.
Reminds me of Smash TV.
