one Hong Kong game magazine reports that RYGAR 2 is for Xbox
and the game will be released at May 2005

Wasnt there a rumor that Team Ninja might be involved with it?

Rygar already has the Britney model. Team ninja can do wonders with it...!!

 

[Shompola]

can't they also port the first Rygar? I thought it was a good game. Also unlockable NES Rygar would be a nice tough.

 

[The Faceless Master]

if Team Ninja is doing it, that probably guarantees NES Rygar and Xbox included...

 

[Elios83]

Itagaki said in an interview he's involved in the project.I don't think it makes much sense to make Rygar 2 Xbox exclusive but seen Itagaki's preference for Microsoft's console I wouldn't scrap the possibility.

 

[Ramirez]

The first one blew =\

 

[Lord Error]

I've read the rumor that it's for PS2 and Xbox.

First game was pretty damn boring and uninspired, I thought. Britney looked nice, though.

 

[Baron Aloha]

Can't wait to pick it up when it hits $5...just like the first one!

 

[nitewulf]

first game is crap, with itagaki involved though, a sequel might just have good action.

 

[Funky Papa]

I have the first one, it was good fun, I just can't understand all the criticism. Sure it was derivative but no more than many other games that get much more attention. It was just a decent action game, not worth full price but a good pick at €25.

 

[Chopin Trusty Balls]

Pardon,but what Britney are you talking about??!?

 

[belgurdo]

I guess in Team Ninja's Rygar II, you guy gets immediately eaten by a dragon as soon as you press Start

 

[Mrbob]

Pardon,but what Britney are you talking about??!?

I thought Rygar PS2 is a fantastic game.

Too short but decent replayability.

 

[jarrod]

Rygar DS.

 

[cvxfreak]

Rygar DS.

You and your handhelds.

 

[Mrbob]

Rygar DS.

Britney would look horrible on the DS.

 

[etiolate]

Rygar was fun. Wrong audience on Xbox though, not that logic has stopped anyone.

 

[SantaC]

you mean rygar 3

 

[DCharlie]

"Rygar was fun. Wrong audience on Xbox though, not that logic has stopped anyone."

... wrong audience?

 

[Tellaerin]

... wrong audience?

*nods sagely* Didn't you get the memo? Diversifying the Xbox lineup is suicide, man.
MS needs to start pushing third-parties to forget this 'action-adventure' nonsense and pump out some more realistic war FPS's stat if they want to keep their edge.

Maybe Rygar can drive a racing car for some crack commando squad or something ?

 

[TheGreenGiant]

does this mean the end of the line for the franchise if they put it on the EX-box?

surprised at the negative comments about the game - I've been meanign to pick this up at some point - been hearing nothing but +ves.

 

[seismologist]

Rygar DS.

2.5D ownage

 

[Renegade]

Itagaki will have a role in all Tecmo games developed within the Japanese Tecmo development floors.

He now oversees ALL games out of Tecmo, not just Team Ninja.

 

[disabledHeliocentric]

I am so desperately wanting both another Rygar and Ninja Gaiden. And damn it'd be great if Rygar was on XBOX. I'm not a ps2 hater or anything but lets face it Rygar on ps2 is going to get outshined by whatever Capcom is doing. On the other hand XBOX sorely lacks this sort of game. Plus it'd just make my xbox seem more complete, what with Bioware for RPGs, Bungie for FPS, and Tecmo and Rare for action/adventures. Microsoft better keep some of this Tecmo shit exclusive. Imo, the quality is off the charts, rygar with a few tweaks would have gone over better with a more fickly twitch gamer or a person who wanted a longer RPG type game, but as is it was one of my highlights of that year,

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Itagaki needs to do Silkworm. Jeeps! Helicopters! Harnesses! Turbulence! Dear God, the possibilities for jiggling are endless.

And the world needs another Silkworm game.
