Honestly I don't recommend Utopia's at all. They do have some problems with some imports (Black Matrix will not let you start a new game when using one none the less) plus they are hard on the DC drive. Hell the codebreakers are dirt cheap, that's the best way to go.

Or an Asian Dreamcast, I'm sure they're cheap now. Mine is hooked up via VGA to my PC monitor, domestic DC is on the TV.

Treasure has released nearly 30 new shots of its shoot-'em-up, Ikaruga.

During the porting process, Ikaruga has picked up a few modes previously unavailable in the arcade. A Gallery and Sound-Test can be unlocked, as well as a Stage Select Mode. Also, a Prototype mode, which is in fact an early version of Ikaruga with redesigned levels and enemies, will be available after beating the game without continuing.

*wonders, again, just how much of the universe will be taken over by this thread once the game is actually released*

Hmmm...probably most of it.

YEA-CA!

I hope this it true, I thought prototype mode would simply be a altering of play mechanics, no changes in the main game. *-neo

That arcade sounds really awesome. I'm leaving Phoenix and moving back to Southern California at the end of this month, and rest assured I'll be checking out Arcade Infinity. I may even hold off playing my DC Ikaruga until I check it out in the arcade first.

I'm wondering, who will be responsible for the TNL high
score thread for Ikaruga? And will that be eaten up by this
thread too? :)
