[Tatsujin]

Oh, that took some time

[Opethian]

Too bad they wont release that touchpad controller in the states

[geise]

I know it's not the best game in the world but I really have been wanting to play this game.  Yeah I'm sure the controller will not come stateside, but I wonder if I could buy the controller separately and it would actually work with the US game?  Thanks for sharing the info.

[Opethian]

Well Otomedius Excellent will have all different character than Otomedius G had. I dont know how much of the gameplay will just be rehashed or changed.

[Tatsujin]

Opemedius

[Arkhan Asylum]

yus, its gradius with TITS.

TITIUS.

yeah. of course we dont get the sweet controller.  We're not cool enough.

[Opethian]

major boobage

[ParanoiaDragon]

It figures that it's on the 360 & not the PS3.  Konami can go suck a lemon.  They also made Harmony of Despair 360 exclusive(though, it sounds boring thankfully).  Traitors!

this is why I have decided to re-get a 360.  so i can play another game and let it sit for awhile hah

[Opethian]

Deathsmiles will be out next week. Another Cave shmup ;)

A know a guy who bought this game as an import with the controller.

Short story: Its a lame-ass game, and the controller's touch pad is nigh on useless. You aren't missing shit.

Or rather, you ARE missing shit.

[Opethian]

Well the arcade is a touch screen so the home experience is a good effort. Controller is crazy expensive and only works with one game. Thats Konami for you.

the games not lame!  O_O.

blasfemur!

[Alt-Nintega]

I am still getting this. Got to support any stateside STG release or else all STGs will be Japan only in the future. Let these corporate bigwigs know that there is still a niche market for these games in the west.

[Opethian]

Yea Konami needs to get off thier asses and release Gradius VI already!

[Alt-Nintega]

Hopefully they will have Treasure co-develop that game as well if they decide to do a Gradius 6. Gradius 5 is amazing.

[turbogrfxfan]

[Digi.k]

[Digi.k]

[Opethian]

damn I preordered that in june and it hasnt shipped yet!!

[DragonmasterDan]

Amazon shipped mine today

[DragonmasterDan]

Hopefully they will have Treasure co-develop that game as well if they decide to do a Gradius 6. Gradius 5 is amazing.

In 2006 they actually announced a Gradius VI, and then.... said nothing more about it for five years. I suspect it got cancelled. We did however get Gradius Rebirth a couple years ago.

[c0ldb33r]

I bought this yesterday.

It's awesome. It's a modern retro-shooter that isn't bullet hell

Also, it's got anime boobs, which is awesome.

I got CE edition. It came with a pillow case. I'm not sure that I think of that.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Mine came, I have to go pick it up.  Its about fucking time it came out.

[jlued686]

I don't want to poo-poo anyone's good time, but I find this game to be absolutely fucking atrocious. Boring as hell and virtually no redeeming qualities. Sadly, not even boobies could save it from being a less-than-pedestrian, lazy, and flat-out boring shmup. It looks like a hi-res N64 game (only slightly exaggerating), and plays like the developers got bored after the first level.

There's one level toward the end that's slightly interesting because it reminded me of level one of Gate of Thunder, but that's followed up by a boss rush over a plain black background.

I really wanted to love this game, and hoped all the negative comments I'd read about it on Shmups.com and other places were unfounded. Alas...I feel like I was robbed out of $50 for a game that would have been overpriced as a $10 XBLA game.

If you want a horizontal shmup on XBLA or Games On Demand with a dash of titties, you'd be much better served with Deathsmiles or Trouble Witches Neo.

Sorry to drop a deuce on your thread. The "art book" is nice, though!

[Opethian]

I liked Otomedius G but it was a fucking nightmare to unlock. My copy of Excellent shipped yesterday so I should have it next week sometime. Also I needed a new pillowcase

[geise]

Nice Ope!  Sweet dreams with that pillow case.

I 'd probably buy it just for the music alone.. sadly I don't know when this will be released here in the UK although I really need to get dondonpachi ressurrection deluxe

DDP and Akai Katana are getting UK releases not too shabby!

[geise]

  I don't see how a game based off of Gradius and Parodius can be utter shit.

[Dark Fact]

I still want an official R1 Parodius collection here though.

[HercTNT]

i'm dissappointed in myself. a game with boobs i was not aware of, a shooter no less. i shall flog myself with wet spaghetti to atone. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

PSP has one and it's region free.

I'd say playasia but it did go out of print unless you can find one on ebay.

[Dark Fact]

I'll keep my eyes out for it! Thanks, TR0N!
