Question? Who ported the Dreamcast version of Gunbird 2

Post by Maikeru_Rocks »

I'm just curious after playing a mean game of this masterpiece
2D shooter and flipping my TV to its side. Was the Gunbird 2 port done by Psikyo or Capcom or both co-developed the game.
My 2nd question is how come Morrigan was their choice to add in the game. Capcom coulda put any characters from the Darkstalkers series in Gunbird 2. My last question who has the best characters in a shooter Psikyo's Gunbird 2 or Alfa System's Shikigami no Shiro 2 for Dreamcast or any other arcade shooter?

as far as i know, capcom coded it, it shows in the menus and the presentation.
why morrigan? because she's the main char of darkstalkers and the most popular/known one, because she fits in the universe and because she's morrigan FFS!!!!

i dont really understand your last question, who has the best chars? well it would be irrelevelant to compare them, since they are nothing alike, both games suceed at what they do.
altho shiki chars are a wee bit generic, but thats true for gb2 too.
on top of my head, tengai in sengoku blade owns, actually, all the chars in that game are very cool, probably my favorite.

Developped by Psikyo, published by Capcom.

Morrigan? Who would you've chosen?

She's a hot chick and She has a flying super in DS. and she flies in the DS anime.

Best Character in a shooter? That's easy, the volumptious woman in Sengoku Blade.

"Dreamcast It's still thinking" that sentence is allways in my head. It's from dcemulation.com, but I don't know how to interpret that sentence.
What does it mean? Like the Dreamcast is still alive and kicking or something?

In the U.S. at the launch of the Dreamcast, Sega used an ad campaign for their new system that was touting how much more advanced the AI would be in DC games over anything we'd yet seen. "It's thinking," they'd read, surrounded by some cryptic code and colors. Saying that it's still thinking is just a way of saying that the system isn't dead yet.

Sengoku Blade has some of the best character designs in Psikyo's work. I personally love Ayin. Although Marion has never set well with me, the way she looks makes it very obviously she was tacked on as an added bonus, she just doesn't mesh with the rest of the game.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering that for years.
"It's thinking", that sounds like the English non-English would use.

EURnglish
Not very catchy.
"It's thinking" In my view is like, it's struggling, uhh uhhh, thinking uhh uhhh. Having trouble computing.

Oh well anyway those are the thoughts of a dutchman.
Shame on Sega US.
