Ikaruga [DC, GC, XBLA, PC]

i don't think it'll happen.. where would they port it to?

*edit*
and BTW, ikaruga was officially announced by Treasure for the GC today.. it'll be released under infogrames' Atari label in january..

i'm sad but happy at the same time.

From Magic Box:


- Treasure mentioned there won't be a PlayStation 2 port of Ikaruga, due to a big difference between the Naomi and PS2 hardware, many of the special effects would have to be reprogrammed.

Atari... heh, heh.

This makes me laugh after all the people on some of the other message boards who said Ikaruga "...has to be be done on the PS2 since it has more power." (way back when everyone was praying it'd get a home port on ANY system) Not denying the PS2 has a little extra hardware juice, but you get my point. Looks like a lot of PS2 zealots (people who slam the DC and worship Sony) are gonna have to buy either a DC/boot disc/import DC or a GC. Heh heh.

they'll do that..... or they could just ignore shooters and other good games completely like they did when they all bought a PS2 back in 2000..
not that it's any of my concern..

This thread is bloated enough, can you two post your petty system-war bullshit somewhere else please?

And yes Werewolf, that cover is the proper Ika DC one.

i would like to know who has read through all 70 pages of this thread. :confused:

Shinobi128: Well, I've kept up with it the whole time, so I have. But I haven't read through in one go, if that's what you mean.

I think I've read it all, as it came up - not all in one shot if that's what you were wondering.

It's hard to believe my post started all this talk :)

I propose that all Ikaruga-related discussion -- scoring strategy, boss patterns, and the like -- be moved to the high score thread once it is posted.

I also propose that we appoint someone to maintain the Ikaruga high score thread once the game arrives. We need someone to update the thread on at least a daily basis, and I don't want some yahoo starting a high score thread and never returning just for the sake of being the first to start the thread.

Finally, I propose that this thread be ceremoniously closed some time after Sept. 5.

Thoughts?
