It was exclusive only in name, the same game came out on pc as Shikigami No Shiro EX.
JP exclusive xbox games the niche of the niche
May have something to do with Shikigami no shiro beeing a rather mediocre shooter
Word.
My Xbox gave up the ghost a few years ago, and this is the one game I'm bummed about not being able to play anymore.

Concept art gallery, music tracks, TV commercial movies.
It probably doesn't have viruses.
@tomwhite2004: But it didn't have a cool pink cover.
Four games strong, that's a lot further than most shmups get.
Always wanted the Xbox version(s). (There's also a blue one with the male cast.)
The first game has a really good story. Almost no one knows it because we never got to see it. The second(and especially the third) started the trend of silliness, though even 3 has its serious moments.Shikigami no Shiro 2 is an above average shooter that I enjoy playing from time to time, same with 3. It's just the first one that's prety mediocre.
Just like the Psyvariar games

I probably know more about the story than anyone at Alfa System.Obviously I'm not commenting on the story but just the actual gameplay aspects of the shmup
I'll pick it up anyway, I'm weak like that (and to go along my atrocious MLF release)
Very nice. How do you view the art gallery?

Yep, 3. Reika Kirishima.Time Gal is in one of the games, right cj?
Are you excited for #CastleofShikigami? For the first time experience the story in English, with a complete new translation!
I wonder if they're going all the way back and porting the original Taito G-Net code, or hacking the existing PC or Xbox code to run on modern machines.
I just recieved my Battle Garrega Deluxe set and my Darius Burst CE from Amazon.co.jp
so much <3
I only got it for the extra, I have the Saturn releasei was tempted by Garegga (especially at the bomba price) but I passed cuz no disc
Just below 4K yen fwiw. Not super great, but still a considerable discount.Where was this great Garegga price?

Ohhhhh, Mobile Light Force 2... I'm like the only one in here that only knows it by it's western name it seems. Great game. I only had a handful of shmups on the PS2, this was one of them.
-Edit: It's very confusing here as the first game is titled Mobile Light Force 2 and the second is Castle Shikigami 2, strange nomenclature.
Yeah, that's where I got mine from. sogood.gif48 here. I've pretty much only seen it discounted.

If you look through Shikigami 2's US manual there are a few places where it says Mobile Light Force 3.Ohhhhh, Mobile Light Force 2... I'm like the only one in here that only knows it by it's western name it seems. Great game. I only had a handful of shmups on the PS2, this was one of them.

cross-asking,
does anyone know the value of Stinger for NEE
new Sealed?
i can't find one reference for it for actual sold copies.
some store has it but i have no price reference to give.
thanks!
yeah i saw that but if you click on the links it's doesn't come up bc it's too old.
there's such as huge gap between 150 and the other that's 900 and nothing recent to give enough grounds to offer a price to the store.
The 900 price is a graded / sealed copy and those prices are silly anyway. Its not good enough of a game to spend that much extra on getting a sealed copy over a loose cart imho, spend the extra on other games.
I can't believe you have to make an offer to the store and they don't just have a set price!
he got a bunch of sealed copy nes and snes games. and while he was pricing them he couldn't a find one for stinger. so i asked him about how much he was going to price it for and he had no idea. (some dude just brought them by and unloaded them)

Strania, Guwange, Ikaruga, and Triggerheart Excelica are all $2.49 currently, as part of the XBox 360 backwards compatibility sale. Great time to grab them if you haven't!
I know I shouldn't have hoped, especially since it's not BC, but no Deathsmiles 2X pretty much confirms it'll never go on sale. ;_;
I feel like my 360 is pretty shmup deprived. Are any of those must-haves? I just have Death Smiles 1 and Akai Katana.

I have the Dreamcast version of Ikaruga. I respect the game, but I don't really enjoy it.
It's no Macross DYRL, amirite?
Yep.I get way more enjoyment from playing SS/PSX DYRL every few years than playing Ikaruga. lol

Yep, they're doing their own from scratch. Oh well. We'll see how it measures up.

for the 360 I'd recommend Raiden Fighters Aces too. Really nice collection of all three Raiden Fighters games from the late '90s, the games themselves are quite solid. TATE mode, scanlines, filters, and other features.
