This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers

The moment I got this game today, and started playing it, I loved it. Plays almost like Gradius, voices are still JAP and kind of tough. Overall, I'm happy with this game. Recommended game if you're looking for more Shoot-Em-Ups.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers

Just picked this up at Gamestop yesterday. I brought this game over to a buddies house where a bunch of us could't wait to tear into it. After about 10 minutes of playing this.... we turned it off and put in something else. This shooter is boring if your a hardcore shooter fan. The graphics and sound are great, but gameplay is slow. This style of shooter was great in the late 80's Early 90's, but after all the amazing Cave and Treasure shooters, games like this just don't measure up. Putting half-naked anime chicks on a slow moving shooter doesn't make the game better. This game is good for a casual gamer but I wouldn't recommend this for a hardcore fan of this genre.

I grew up with R-Type and Space Invaders, and I've been a hardcore shmup fan since 2004 thanks to Gradius V, ESPGaluda, Psyvariar 2, Border Down, and Mars Matrix. (those games introduced me to various styles of play, and hold a special place in my heart.) I agree 100%. This game is a punch in the throat to any true Gradius fan.

This game says it's already released on Amazon. If they're shipping out copies then I think I might cancel my order here and see what's happening over there.

seriously

Posted 11/3/11

I feel you on that bro, I know we've been waiting for at least half a year's worth of delays and then, when its supposed to come out FINALLY, they delay it again... I love video games, but I don't like being the one getting played with when a game is going to come out.

I hope there is no more delay on this and comes out tomorrow.I got my pre order in just for the bonus items.I'm a fan on anime and gradius shooters.It would rock if the game came with a hidden playable japan arcade version.Can't wait to play.^ ^

Some other shooters that weren't mentioned yet were Trouble Witches Neo and Triggerheart Exelica, both which are on the Xbox Live Arcade for 800MSP each. I agree with everyone else though about getting Deathsmiles (Limited Edition) and Espgaluda II Black Label (Platininum HIts), they're both really amazing. I really recommend Otomedius Excellent and these other games to anime and shooter fans. Now all that's left is getting Touhou on the Xbox...

Touhou on XBLA

Posted 10/31/11

It won't happen, ZUN announced years ago that he's not interested in commercial success and wants to keep the series "low-key." I don't even see how that's possible with the fanbase. He also works for Taito, and has even hidden a model of Reimu in Magic Pengel. Really, it's his loss.

Agreed

I'm with you on Touhou, it's one of my favorite series.

Don't get me wrong. I'm an avid shmup fan. I've imported a Japanese 360 and almost every CAVE 'manic shooter' game for it. I made a 3-foot-long paper-mache model of the R-9 Arrowhead when I was in 4th grade, just for the heck of it. The only shmups in recent history that I distinctly recall NOT enjoying have been Milestone's terrible trio of sloppy seconds (Chaos Field, Radilgy, and Karous) and Raiden III... until I played the import version of this game at a convention and was caught somewhere between an eyeroll and a facepalm. Fellow shooter fans, I implore you to wait on this. DeathSmiles and Raiden IV are $20 now. ESPGaluda II Black Label is now a Platinum Hit, is region-free, and can be imported for $40. Anyone who buys this game before a significant price drop is condoning Konami's ongoing delay of a TRUE Gradius 6.

Another Delay KONAMI?

Posted on:9/17/11

GeoSword

Location: Katy, TX

The numerous delays that KONAMI is doing reminds me of when they took forever to release AirForce Delta STRIKE (AFD Blue Wing Knights) for PS2. And like that time, I may end up importing this game just as I did AFDS because of its numerous inconsistent decisions by KONAMI US.

Otomedius Excellent! lives up to its name

I've played the original and Gorgeous for 360 already, and Otomedius is an excellent game. This new installation will feature a pair of downloadable characters from the Japan-only Busou Shinki franchise: Arnvald and Strarf, so you'll wanna get this just for the US debut of Busou Shinki's leading ladies! Highly recommended for all shmup and mecha musume fans, 15/10!
