However, there may still be a sliver hope that aside on how Konami has calmed down a little on the controversies and at the 2020's have been releasing compilations of their old games that gained ground in the 8-bit era, which was basically their proven golden age (as shown with either Castlevania, Contra or their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games), a Gradius compilation may be possible and your best bet for modern exposure, but even then, it wasn't Konami's top tier defining franchise even in that age, so the chance is still low. note Even ignoring Konami's extremely controversial business practices starting in 2015, Gradius lost its commercial traction after the 1990s, along with the rest of the shmup genre as three-dimensional games became the new norm. The series did get a pachislot spinoff in 2011, the series has cameoed in various other Konami games such as Pixel Puzzle Collection (a Mario's Picross-like game with puzzles depicting elements from and music lifted from various Konami games), the BEMANI series (mainly in the form of music remixes), and the second Zone of the Enders game (where it was depicted as a Transforming Mecha) and ports of the games get released from time to time (with the latest being Arcade Archives: Gradius III in 2020), but don't get your hopes up for a new Gradius game anytime soon. After that, Gradius just quietly went off the radar, outside of the aforementioned Otomedius. The last Gradius video game released was Gradius ReBirth (ironically enough) in 2009. Also compare Otomedius, an anime parody series which has a lot of breasts and Fanservice. And pumped with enough LSD to drop an elephant. Compare Parodius, which is Konami taking this series and giving it a Cute 'em Up redesign.
