Looks nice from the screenies. Not Ikaruga quality but you wouldn't expect that from a three man team. At least it's another way to get an old school fix on the DC.

Why a English version if the NTSC J is completely playable without any problems? I mean, it's not a RPG or something you need to understand all whats written. And in Shmups 90% of all the text is in English.

Blimey! I think I might just have to get myself this game.
For us mere mortals that don't have contacts in Japan do you think Lik Sang will be the best place to get it from?

Use world.altavista.com

[edit]
for those of you who are too lazy... i did it for ya!
this is unedited from the translation... as you can see it has its grammatical errors, but you get the point! the translation wrote: PROLOGUE
-------------
The mankind to get off in Mars, after standing, several centuries. Outer space " possibility " the times when it stops being.

Resource * political * religion etc. The earth and Mars which are opposed with various items.
As for that, there are no times when it changes forever... it was symbol of the mankind who cannot change.

And, " kind " is sown.

Mars calendar August 1 of 332 day
Communication blackout from asteroid * ヴェスタ mining place

" First contact " was the hostility for the mankind.

In order to exhaust the limit of destruction, to go out vis-a-vis the enemy ("F * A " and naming) of of the natural shape obscurity which which it keeps going away,
As for Mars national combination it forms first foreign space defense organization (Solar system Defence Force = SDF).

But artificial intelligence of the small-sized unmanned weapon which is the main force with the attack which is shot from " the F.A ", drives recklessly. Completely control it loses
The weapon group brought enormous damage around aggressive area....


I only translated the prologue from altavista... so if you want the other part... do it yourself! :D

Wow...I had just posted a link to show this game off and now it is comming through. Hmmm....I've got the power? No. However, I have found out from the Magic Box that the Limited Edition includes the soundtrack.

Just copy and paste these babies and view some nice eye candy on windows media player of this game due out in September.

And who said that the Dreamcast is dead?

OMG! :D I'm almost wet myself with excitement after seeing those movies. :lol: Can't wait until the end of september. Does anyone know how many levels this game will have? Is it 2 player? Hopefully it will have more than Ikaruga.
