I know personally I'm a little put off that they could sell out so quickly while doling 30 copies to price gougers.

Quickly? They have been taking preorders for a long time.

Sure, but they didn't place a cap on orders until recently. Before it was "we'll have enough stock for a year!"

Check this out from Magic Box...

RUMOR: Treasure is planning to port the NAOMI arcade shooter Ikaruga to GameCube, after the Dreamcast version is released.

Think there's any truth to it?

Until it's reported by anyone other than Magic Box, then no.

found 2 new movies, thanks to Valgar..

the first is the latter part of the 4th chapter, and the 2nd is the entire 5th chapter except for the very end (which, thankfully, they chose not to spoil for us)..

however, if i could go back, i wouldn't watch these movies..

why?

there's something about seeing it all for the first time as you play it that just feels better, i'm sure..
so if you're wise, you won't download these, but if you can't hold out, here's some new footage (which should put aside all doubts as to ikaruga's difficulty level)

WARNING - POSSIBLE SPOILERS

the first two movies are also in the same directory.. just change the 3 and 4 to 1 or 2..

thanks again to Valgar for the footage.

I've heard this too, from sources I consider reputable...I believe in it enough to postpone importing the DC version. Call me stupid or non-hardcore if you want, but there it is.

Wow, that's too cool...thanks for the bit of confirmation.

I won't be cancelling my DC order or anything, but I may be sending out my GC to get modded should this actually happen

Personally I'll be getting several copies of both versions... but I'm just a Treasure freak. On a happy note I finally got around to getting a Japanese Gunstar Heroes with the much cooler cover.
