I've been playing this game today and it's absolutely brilliant, it sort of brings me in mind of Ninja Gaiden on the Gamecube (well it looks a little like a GBA version since I haven't played the game).
Anyway it's a side scrolling Metroid type shooter but with multi screen massive bosses and RPG lite style trappings whereby you collect points to add to your stats. It also has Gradius style shooter-on-rails parts to mix the whole thing up. It's based on a famous Japanese comic series apparently although I'm not familiar. You can do kung fu combos and shoot half screen size lazers and everything.
Anyway, check it out if the above sounds interesting.
Here's the Gamespot review just to back up my no doubt wildly inaccurate ravings.
