Again from insert credit:

Quote:

Yes, this time it's true Famicom Plaze tells us that Shikigami no Shiro II is being brough to the DC - and who's responsible for the port?? Sega themselves. The release date is planned for March 25th, 2004.

Funny that Sega themself will bring it to their DC, and now only an Xbox version needs to be (officialy) announced and we have a multiplatform game ala EA.

Like anybody cares for sh00ters anymore, but any thoughts?!

Edit: Oops..The thread name should be Shikigami no Shiro II.

Edit 2: Nevermind I see we can edit our own thread names now I guess. Sugoi.

wut 'bout a world wide release?

:???:

Joe Redifer · 12-29-2003, 09:10 PM

Interesting, but what is this game?

ATMA · 12-30-2003, 02:43 AM

Here's a link I stole from dog$ (Hope you won't mind dog$) ..It's a review for the game and you can see a couple of pics. You'll get the basic idea behind this game. Still need to buy it though..Border Down is keeping me bizzy for now.

ps: dog$ You are right Border Down is a wh0re ;)

dog$ · 12-30-2003, 05:09 AM

Yeah it is ~ also cool that Border Down 2 is on the way eventually.

This is very neat in that a DC Shiki 2 has been rumored for a while but never confirmed. I feel somewhat guilty for not buying it but much like the upcoming Psyvariar 2 I'll buy the game for the system where I already have the first of the series (ie PS2).

Oh and Pilotwings the worldwide release will come whenever BitTorrent hosts get the ISO ;)

damn that looks awesome, I would love to play that, and i love shooters like the 1942 games, raiden and others

I love UN squardon from capcom on the SNES awesome game

ATMA · 12-30-2003, 09:21 PM

Yeah I was surprised that BD 2 was allready in the works (Just got the news as i'm walking behind with game news these last few days) .. freaky. Psyvariar 2 the will to fabricate looks like a great game also.Is BD 2 also heading for the DC?..any words on that?

On a side note: Do you think the DC is secretely becomming (or allready is) a shooter paradise? What's your thought on that one dog$?

Joe Redifer · 12-30-2003, 11:01 PM

Fortunately for all I am not dog$, but I will answer your question anyway:

Both the Genesis/Mega Drive and/or Saturn were much more of a shooter's paradise than the Dreamcast. Those systems had TONS of GREAT shooters, wheras the DC unfortunately only has a handful.

dog$ · 12-31-2003, 08:19 AM

I donno, I think by now the DC has enough entries to really make it the catch-all shooter system. As great as Thunder Force 2-4 is and Gaiares sorta is, I don't think the Genesis or any 16-bit system should be called the #1 Shooter Platform now.

Then lesse-

Saturn
Thunder Force V
Cotton 2
Darius Gaiden
Steam Hearts
Strikers '45 1 and 2
Soukyugurentai

Playstation
G Darius
Einhander
Dodonpachi
Raiden DX
Shienryu
Night Raid
Gradius Gaiden

and then the Dreamcast
Mars Matrix
Giga Wing 1 and 2
Zero Gunner 2
Gunbird 2
Ikaruga
Border Down
Psyvariar 2
Shikigami Shiro 2

seems about equal to me, across the board. Hell if Thunder Force 6 wasn't cancelled there'd probably be no doubt in my mind that the DC would have everything essential.

Joe Redifer · 12-31-2003, 09:34 AM

You are forgetting quite a few Saturn shooters from Psykyo like Battle Garrega and Sengoku Blade. You could also play Thunder Force 2, 3, 4, and Arcade on the Saturn.

ATMA · 01-01-2004, 02:05 PM

Well with Ikaruga,Shikigami No Shiro 2,Border Down that is quite a quality lineup allready (I was actualy referring to quality and not just quantity). While Saturn have Radiant Silver gun wich is a powerful one, but so is Ikaruga and IMO Ikaruga is the best. While Shikigami No Shiro introduced you to something wich force you to go even closer to the enemies if you want a higher score wich is a killer factor and sure will deliver exciting moments as you'll be closer to danger, for me that's the right direction in revolutionize the shooter genre. Maybe the shooters on the DC kind brought them back in the small spot they have next to other bigger genres...hmm? Now if only the DC had DoDonPachi Dai-Oujou. But that's in camp Sony.
