It apparently runs just as fast on a cart. Itll be in one of my Homebrew purchases in the future.

You mean Xexyz or XEXEZ? Xexyz has shmup levels, but is also a platformer. Xexez is the shmup.
EDIT: Xexez is on our list. Did Xexez even get a Famicom port? My sources all say Arcade/PSP only????? Xexyz is not a true shmup!

Hmmm... did I get the wrong game? I Google Xexez and don't get any relevant hits. If I search "Xexez game" it shows results for "Xexyz game"
It's making me cross-eyed.

That's how the list had it spelled. Too much "XEX" for me. At any rate, Xexex nor Xexyz should be on this list.

Dragon Spirit is fairly well known, at least the arcade iteration. But yeah, like many ports the NES version is it's own thing and kind of under-appreciated.
