Quote:
It looks like cult-classic Treasure shooter Ikaruga is coming to Xbox Live Arcade, after a download for the game appeared on Microsoft's debug version of Xbox Live.
The shooter was originally released for Dreamcast and Nintendo Gamecube in 2003, and is the spiritual sequel to Saturn blaster Radiant Silvergun. CVG Nintendo's stalwart describes it as "the best scrolling shoot-em-up ever made", but we wouldn't listen to him.
We fired up our Xbox 360 debug machine to get our hands on Ikaruga, but upon firing it up all we recieved was a Treasure logo before the gane decided to crash - and not much more has happened since.
We're keeping our eyes on this one, and will certainly keep you posted for when the first info and screens arrive, which with any luck won't be too long.

I missed the game on both Dreamcast and Gamecube (it's so hard to find now). This is amazing news!

Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: S.F. Bay Area Age: 30 | I had it on the gamecube. What a freaking hard as game. I liked it, but I think it was out of my league in terms of difficulty. I don't think its the best ever but don't want to start a debate as I'm not that hardcore into shooters anyways. | | | |

I will be all the hell over this one. | |
