It's doubtful this game will be worth anything, really no comparsions to Bangaio ethier, buy it to play or save yourself some grief.

Especially with this GC port...

It's no longer all that special, it seems.

Depends on what you think of special, Metal. It's still another quality game in the DC library...which is now the king of shield-based shooters with this, Mars Matrix, and the Gigawings .

Well, of couse it's still SPECIAL... but no longer, you know, special as in 'this DC port is probably the only way you'll ever be able to play Ikaurga.' See what I mean?

on the bright side, ikaruga will get the exposure it deserves and it'll be fun teasing GC fanboys by comparing the two versions and highlighting the DC version's benefits..

unless the GC version has extras the way RS had extras over the arcade version, i won't get too excited about it..

and a training mode??!! pff.. i can see it now:
IKARUGA: EO

I was really into getting a copy of Ikaruga at one point, but then, it was announced for the DC, and lost that 'only for arcade' quality, you know?

LOL..
let's just say that the DC version makes it possible for more than 4 people on the face of the earth to play the game..

I'd hold off on 'teasing fanboys' until both fully come out. Bastard.

*punches you*

Ain't it the truth. Now people know they'll be able to get it they don't want it as much anymore. "Oh yeah now its coming to GC I'll wait another year or two for the US version"

Its that absurb rare game/collector mentality.

I'm still as excited about Ikaruga as I ever was. More so even now that its nearly out.

Hmm if anyone read Xengamer's update on the game, they point out that the IGN Cube story is just a rumor, and the American Infogrames PR Rep hadn't heard of the game yet. Dunno what to think, but can't go wrong by keeping my DC pre-order.
