Well it looks like Gradius got bumped back to April, so might as well...
It's nice that RTF is coming out here. I have to agree with Will about the packshot's border, but the cover art is otherwise nice.
Gradius V is pushed back to April 6? Damn. Oh well, there's still more time to pound on Gradius Gaiden and Galaxies.
:) :D :lol:Quote:

Finally got to play it. Can't wait for this to come out in english. I'd import it this instant, but there is an entire museum and history library of all RType information on all of the fighters, weapons, bits, bombs, Bydo, and more.
There is also, and this is wild, a Ship Vs Ship combat mode. I had a brief heart attack of coolness when my giddy friend and I thought we could play head to head in a shooter duel with life meters. We were right about the life meters, wrong about the head to head. Apparently, you can program the AI for your ship, and have it fight other AIs (including your friends, should he bring over his memory card).
The whole thing looks and plays like a love letter to all Irem and RType fans though. The music, graphics, and sheer ludicrous number of unlockable RType/Irem ships is just amazing. Tons of nice little details too.
It's still an RType game (that is, Butthard-Type), but its fun, and pretty, and cool.
I'll happily grab this on release day.
Likewise, im hoping they change the box art though, the yellow is real kakacrap but I'm not sure i'd like this better http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-1a-78-...e-91--77-1.jpg
I think I'd take the white over the yellow borders... Anyways, played a demo of this, and I agree with it being pretty hard, but I'll probably get it when it does arrive.
Both boxes are fine, just gimmie the game.
A bump for the thread since this comes out tommorrow.
Still pissed they didn't include the submarine from In The Hunt, though.
