YUCK they can shove it

 

[radioheadrule83]

Someone make a list of games per platform to illustrate the insignificance of this "love"... I want more SEGA! Platform agnostic my ass!

Sales numbers for added hilarity would be nice too.

 

[Deku Tree]

Will it sell?

[truesayian]

i'm so importing this for gamecube.

 

[Baron Aloha]

Will it sell?

I predict that It will sell more than any other title they have released this year except Sonic Heroes.

 

[FortNinety]

Hmmm.... ships from Ikaruga, lock-on lasers from Layer Section.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Will it sell?

More than SEGA's (non-sports) Xbox titles combined.

 

[drohne]

what does this have to do with sega? are they handling the port for some reason? they had nothing to do with the arcade game.

still, a new shmup is always good news. i'll pick up the dc version.

What makes GC special? Why no Ps2 or Xbox version?

It isn't. But there is a DC version!

 

[drohne]

some impressions of the arcade game: http://dynamic5.gamespy.com/~shmups/shmupsforum/viewtopic.php?t=7991&highlight=chaos+field

apparently it's all boss fights. not mainly boss fights like radiant silvergun or alien soldier, but all boss fights. i've seen a couple videos, and it seems to borrow a couple mechanics from treasure's shmups: particularly silvergun's bullet-eating sword and ikaruga's homing shot. looks kind of neat.

edit: found the videos: http://www.mile-stone.co.jp/eng/product/chaos_movie_e.html

 

[truesayian]

Gamecube, dreamcast, and namomi work good together..

Ask Ikaruga

 

[Rogerkiller]

Buy a GC......isnt that what all the PSbots say when someone ask why no GC/XBX version?lol

 

[segasonic]

Sega doesn't make 2D Shooters. The game must be from a third party.

 

[Jacobi]

Gamefront says Able and Milestone developed it for NAOMI.

 

[Soul4ger]

Okay. I'm gonna keep saying third-parties are abandoning GC support. Maybe we'll continue to get announcements like this. It might make me look like an ignorant ass, but it's well worth it!

 

[MadOdorMachine]

Is it coming to NA?

 

[Soul4ger]

Is it coming to NA?

It's not out of the realm of possibility, though Shikigami no Shiro 2 got overlooked by XS Games. Hopefully, Sega/Sammy will bring this, and not wait for someone else to get around to it.

[Soul4ger]

Can anyone possibly dig up the sales numbers for all four console versions of Shikigami no Shiro 2 for me? And while you're at it, can you get the PS2/Xbox sales for Shikigami no Shiro? Not sure if they'll combine the Xbox sales for the latter, or split it up between the two versions.

 

[MadOdorMachine]

What's a good online import store? Has anyone tried using Freeloader?

These guys have never failed me. And I always get my stuff super quick.

It's likely the ease of porting... Naomi/DC toolsets were already converted by Sega Mechatronics to run on GC/TriForce. For small teams like Able, Treasure or Alfa System this makes Naomi ports to GameCube almost effortless.... makes you wonder why SNK or Sammy never jumped on board with cheap Atomiswave ports?

 

[Sax Russel]

6 months from now Xbox and PS2 will get Chaos Field/Ikaruga double pack, with exclusive new levels.

 

[doncale]

maybe Gamecube will get Border Down also ?

G.Rev said they were considering porting to GC or XBox iirc...

 

[Solid]

I'll wait for the PS2-version lolz!
