Under Defeat coming to Dreamcast

[1CCOSA]

According to gamefront.de and Play Asia, GRev's gritty, old school heli shooter Under Defeat will see a DC release on March 23, 06. FWIW Seven Force from our shmup forums has spent a lot of time with the game and loves it. I am every bit as excited about this game as Senko No Ronde.

Gamefront.de (look in the middle of 12/29 front page for news story):

For those who don't know, it is a vertical TATE aligned shooter similar in appearance to Zero Gunner 2 except instead of 360 turns, you tilt your 'copter at a slight angle. Looks quite nice and very hectic from the pics and video so far with lots of beautiful, gritty details, smoketrails, tank tracks, zooming fighters overhead, ect.:

Watch this video now. Beautiful winter stage with falling snow, will make you weep with joy if like me you love the winter stage from Strikers 1:

Attractive yet angsty punk girl pilots!

I love anything G.Rev touches, so I just preordered.

[Frogacuda]

Oh snap. Sold.

[1CCOSA]

I again emphasize to watch the videos too. They rock.

[Josh]

This I am interested in.

So this'll be released in just Japan and if I want it, I'll have to import it right?

I don't know that I see anything wildly original going on in the videos, though it's clearly a compotent shooter. I'm going to get this based on the merits of Border Down, mostly, which is maybe one of the most underappreciated games ever.

DC is pretty import friendly, so I'd rather see it there than, say, PS2. This is the same developer that was responsible for Border Down, right? If that's the case, I'm there.

By "rock" i mean it looks intense and it is a gritty yet pretty Naomi title.

This is wonderful, thank you G.Rev .

I've wanted to play this game since seeing the stage three video where your heli heads into battle with a armada of tanks behind it and planes screaming overhead. *-neo
