Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius: Forever With Me

Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius: Forever With Me (実況おしゃべりパロディウス ~フォーエバー・ウィズ・ミー~, roughly translated as "Chatting Parodius Live") is the fourth game in the Parodius series by Konami. Like it's predecessors it pokes fun at other Konami franchises, especially the shoot-'em-up franchise Gradius.

As the name may suggest, Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius features a running Japanese commentary, which affects all aspects of the game from the menus to on-screen action. This, combined with the numerous Japanese references, likely explains why the game was never brought to the West; the only Parodius game not to do so in some form.

This "Forever With Me" edition (a nod to Konami's Tokimeki Memorial remake, Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You) is unique to the Saturn and PlayStation, building on ideas seen in Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius for the Super Famicom, released some months prior.
