Valis III for Genesis/Mega Drive gives Yuko an upgraded bra

destructoid.com:

The Sega Genesis/Mega Drive received three games from the Valis series. Thus far, I’ve covered Valis, a port of a remake, and Syd of Valis, a bizarre chibi version of Valis II. However, I while I find them somewhat charming, I don’t love them. However, what I’ve been told, both in the comments and on other publications, is that Valis III is where the series actually got good.

Certainly, it’s got the best narrative of the bunch, though that wasn’t a high bar to clear. It also has some neat added features, better level design and bosses, and a new bra for Yuko, so yeah, it’s pretty good. It’s all right.

I got Valis III as part of a care package I received from Retro-Bit. They did a pretty swell job with a re-release through Limited Run Games. I outline the production values in my Valis write-up, but to sum it up: damn. I’ve seen a lot of reproduction and homebrew titles in my time, but Retro-Bit really takes it to the next level. I especially love how the game’s name is etched on the back of the PCB, visible through the translucent case. Nice little detail.

The bad guy this time around is an evil tyrant called Glames. He’s different from the previous evil tyrants because he rules over the Dark World. The only reason he’s invading the Dreamland is because the Dark World is being absorbed into the nether and will soon cease to exist. So, really, he’s just trying to save his world, which is… exactly what Yuko is trying to do. I guess he’s bad because he… has bigger, pointier shoulder pads.

Cham shows up and tries to steal the Valis Sword so she can take on Glames herself, then immediately sucks and gets captured. Yuko saves her, so she becomes a second playable character. Cool! The two venture off to the Vecanti to save
