    Ikaruga Is Coming To XBLA.

    Which, if you know anything about anything, is a good thing.

    Can't wait. Haven't played it since I had my GameCube.

    As well as one of the best, Ikaruga is one of the hardest shooters ev0r.

    I can only imagine what some of the achievements are going to be like.

    This could get messy. Woo!

    I actually turned my tv around, and it was fine. Was a good few years ago, and the tv is still going strong.

    Bloody heavy it was.

    An Xbox Live Arcade version was officially announced at Microsoft's Tokyo Game Show press conference. Details translated from the official Treasure site include:

    * 800 MS Points
    * LIVE Co-op + leaderboards
    * Replay mode
    * Horizontal mode (windowed) is higher resolution than even the arcade version
    * Vertical modes (tilt) supported, both left and right rotations.
    * Release TBA [1][2]

    Which I'm sure is great, but as I've never played it I can't get excited pre-release.

    Once its out I'll have a butchers.

    Cool. They just need to release Radiant Silvergun for XBLA now (and torpedo the prices of all those overpriced eBay auctions)

    I think that's the whole idea. Unless you're a completely utterly brilliant ubergamer you will not get far at all... In Japan shmups are very, very hardcore indeed.

    Radiant Silvergun would be another excellent addition. It really makes you wonder why games companies don't release shmups anymore. Simple, easy to pick up, easy to program and create yet can have oodles of depth.
