Huh. They actually did this.

And I hope we get online co-op too. I never have anyone local to play with :/

Ikaruga Live co-op sucks. It's just a bullet point, not something you'd actually ever want to utilize. Don't hold your breath on this.

Awesome, always wanted to play this. If it's half as good as Ikaruga then it will be amazing.

I've been saying that Ikaruga is twice the game Silvergun is for years now, so you should be satisfied.

Knew a guy who shelled out about 350$ for a 'like-new' copy of this game. I think I can hear him cry right now.

Collectors have nothing to fear. I don't know why I keep having to repeat myself on this point, but the only thing that threatens a game's second-hand market value are physical rereleases, and usually identical ones at that (not ports to other systems). People who just want to play these games without shelling out triple-digit USD prices have had free and easy (if illegal) means to do so for years. Why would an XBLA port suddenly change the equation?

I really don't think they feel anything is wrong with the game. While there might be some small Ikaruga-style changes with the XBLA release, I highly doubt there will be big ones.

I know Maegawa has said there are certain things about the game he doesn't feel have stood the test of time, but he never specified what, and I doubt any major changes are coming just because it would really tick off those who enjoy the game plenty as-is.

Why would it be? Treasure is way more popular in the West then they are in Japan.

I didn't know that.

It's just that XBLA in Japan has so many SHMUPs that I want and they'll never see the light of day here.

Most if not all the XBLA shooting games are available here. Retail disc games are another story though.

Anyone have a list of all shmups on the 360 so far, any region? I've lost track and one day I want to catch up with them all. Gotta be 20-30 at this point.(?)

What's cool about this is also that Treasure will be able to get back to work on their 3rd shooter once RS is out.

Called it earlier tonight, and with the job they did with Ikaruga, I'm going to be all over this as soon as it comes out.

Hell yeah.

Awesome! The best news imaginable. I've been wanting to try this.

Agreed. I've been waiting to try this as well. After Ikaruga, I started to stock pile Treasure games like Advance Guardian Heroes and Gunstar Super Heroes. Excited to add this much talked about classic to my library.

It's rushed and incomplete at best. When some levels are practically devoid of any enemies/obstacles and some bosses have literally no attacks, well....

I mean, when it's good it's pretty damn good, but meh.

The GCN version of Ikaruga had its price drop off quiet a bit after the 360 versior came out. Used to go for about $60, now it goes for around $20.

Yes! I can't wait to check out the improvements. Is the audio going to be in 5.1 surround?

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I've always preferred RS over Ikaruga.

Way more excited for this than Bangai-O. Haven't played this on the Saturn yet and this pretty much guarantees I never will have to. This will likely be the better version! Way better sticks on the 360 to play this with.
