Shikigami no Shiro II home port

[Chojin]

Nice. Playing imports on my GC is effortless. If this ended up being import Xbox exclusive like it was originally planned I would have been screwed. Good news indeed.

Ugh, instant thumb sores. I don't know which is worse.



Unexpected news nonetheless. Better one system than none.


2003.

These days, any shooter home port is good news. I just hope this comes to the US unscathed. I'm tired of playing shooters with removed features, altered characters, etc.

Yes![/Marv Albert]

Star Soldier, Border Down, R-Type Final, and now this.

It's a fine year for shmups indeed.

Great news. I had already decided to take the GC plunge thanks to Star Soldier.

If it were coming to Xbox instead, then I would've had to cross my fingers and hope for Taito to grab it once again for a PS2 port- or get the Xbox modded.

I really wonder if this is a time-exclusive deal. The last game hit three platforms and I imagine a ton of Japanese PS2 owners will be miffed at this.

Still, woo hoo another game for the Freeloader! *-neo

Then just import them..?

One of the things the gamecube has going for it over the N64 is the amount of quality old school/arcade style games. Let the trend continue.

Shiki 1 hit 3 platforms? I only know of PS2 and Xbox versions. There was a third?? Or do you just mean the arcade version as a platform?

I've heard recently a Japanese Xbox version may in fact appear shortly after the GC version, depending on how the GC version's sales are. So that should appease some of you xbox owners without GCs.

In a totally unrelated topic, I just saw a commercial for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles while typing this, and it looks awesome! A great commercial with lots of in-game footage. I'm glad I preordered a copy.

To continue this trend: Was it a US commercial? What time and channel? And though I've not seen the game in motion, I too am glad I reserved it.
