Via Gematsu:

The latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation has new information on Ubusuna, the August 2014-announced shoot 'em up for PlayStation 4 from Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga creator Hiroshi Iuchi and developed by M2.​

​

Here are the details:​

• It has Ikaruga-like attributes, but is different in that vectors are 180 degrees.
• While the game currently runs normally, the graphics are incomplete.
• The concept of the title is to "show the nature of the creator."
• Development will still take a bit of time.
• "Ubusana is finally getting released during the end of the hardware's lifecycle lol" – A haiku by Hiroshi Iuchi. (A haiku in Japanese, at least.)

​

Back in November 2018, M2 president Naoki Horii is said, "While [Ubusuna] is in a rough state, it is nearly playable, and we are currently creating assets as best as we can."​

Most folks are either unaware this game was in development or they gave up hope long ago that it would ever see the light of day. I'm still not convinced it will ever be released, but one can hope. With M2 developing it, there's some chance it will actually come out, but their plate is full with numerous other projects, including a new Aleste title. We shall see.

I'd completely forgotten about this game, that's a very long time for a shmup to be in development. The concept art is great, I'd love to see gameplay footage.

Can't wait! I loved and have Ikaruga for DC and GC and never found the money to afford Radiant Silvergun But this will be a day one for if I get a physical release.

Jeez, this is like waiting for a Kubrick movie. "The end the of a hardwares life cycle" does he mean PS4?

 

[Hudo]

...Wait. What? And M2 are involved? How did I not know of this? But holy shit. In development (sporadically, I assume) since 2014.

 

[twinspectre]

This game looks promising.

Ikaruga is hinted to get a physical release sometime this gen. I expect they'll push Ikaruga's physical version to signal-boost this game when it nears completion.

A sh'mup announced in 2014 still is in a rough state?! That doesn't look good... But I hope that is amazing as the past games

Day 1, I'll buy whatever Hiroshi Iuchi works on, he's a game design genius in my eyes

The concept of the title is to "show the nature of the creator."

Final boss confirmed to be the stone-like once again.

Honestly shoot em ups should be on there by default due to portable mode being able flip the screen vertically and horizontally. That said where the fuck is this you cock teasing shit company

Nicalis teasing physical release for Ikaruga on Switch

If you want to own Ikaruga on Switch, the only option you have is digital. Nicalis released Treasure’s shoot ’em up awhile back exclusively on the eShop. However, it sounds like fans will have another option soon. On Twitter today, Nicalis posted the image above – a boxart image for Ikaruga...

I never heard of this game. I hope it comes out one day. Radiant Silvergun is in my top 10 videogames of all time.

Can't wait! I loved and have Ikaruga for DC and GC and never found the money to afford Radiant Silvergun

You can get both Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga on xbox 1 - running at a beautiful 1080p 60fps - and theyre only like $10 each.
The internet tells me that xbox has no Japanese games though...

 

[lachesis]

Finally some updates from M2 - with OST.

Looking forward to it.

There's an article on 4gamer and Iuchi said (from translation) "As for the game, I'm sorry, but it's going to take a while. All of the projects are working hard, so I hope you will wait patiently until then."

Seems like they only just got the art director within the last year. Kind of a bummer. Hopefully it's not crazy far away. It's already been so long lol

Take as long as you need. If it's half as good as Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga I'll be thrilled.
