Collector interest

V-V is the original Japanese edition of Toaplan's shoot with the local title (Grind Stormer in the West). Exceptional collector value.

Is V-V still worth playing in 2026?

A vertical shooter by Toaplan, Grind Stormer offers a classic vertical shoot with a varied weapon system and compact difficulty. The polished art direction, readable patterns and energetic soundtrack make this title a solid showcase of Toaplan craft. Without being revolutionary, the title keeps real effectiveness and pleases fans of classic vertical shoots. For anyone collecting Toaplan shoots or fond of old school aggressive scoring, a valid recommendation today still on Mega Drive without hesitation here indeed.
