Hawtness.

[Phellan Wolf]

It really looks like this year is going to be the year of the shooting games. I would have never believed that it will leave Japan.
By the way I don't like the name they've given it

[jonny5]

oh ya.....this might actually get me to to buy a DSi....i played this game on khoa's and its bad ass

[Momijitsuki]

America and Europe next? Please?

[sourdiesel]

my son has a dsi i got him for xmas ... when is this game out?

[Momijitsuki]

Is it a Japanese or Australian DSi?

If not, who knows?

[TrevHead (TVR)]

[Meyers07]

This game looks like Mars Matrix, but on DS!

[SFKhoa]

This game plays -nothing- like Mars Matrix though.

[Zeether]

America and Europe next? Please?

Even though I have no DSi...

[ncp]

While listed under the 'bullet hell' sub-genre, it's not quite as hardcore as a Touhou game

Forecast: 60% chance of shitstorm.

[adversity1]

Great news that this is going overseas. 100% worth picking up.

[spl]

Wow I can't believe us aussies finally got something good for once! Pity I don't have a DSi.

[MR_Soren]

I like the looks of this. If it gets a US release, I may just get a DSi. Hopefully this won't be the only downloadable worth playing.

[Rupert H]

Metal Torrent? I would go with the speedier-sounding Metal Blogspot.

Hope that didn't count as discussing piracy.

[xris]

For Austraila? Good on them. They ( and Germany) get robbed on releases by their govt. Even if I would like to play it, let them have it. They deserve to get something that most haven't gotten.

US release this Spring, announced at Nintendo's 2010 Media Summit.

not so much "shitstorm" from me as it would just be me registering to say something silly like

well I wouldn't really see Touhou as "hardcore" so much, it seems more "endurance" to me if you're just playing for survival

if you're playing for immediate and large score gains, CAVE might have you beat there technically speaking. but in the long run? probably Touhou. however, some CAVE games feel like they tread into this odd-and-generally-populated-by-Touhou territory, especially the bullet cancelling variety

maybe I agree with this, I'd like to agree with this

[Tigershark]

Funny how everyone talks about the DSi. What's wrong the with first DS? Right, where can I import it?


Edit: Googled dsiware. Bugger.

Nice, pick this up kids!

[antron]

so it's DSi only? why? does it let you take pictures of people you don't like to be the bosses?

[Exarion]

The DSi supports downloadable games, and has it's own store where you can buy them. There is no physical release of this game, and thus it cannot be played except on a DSi.

[jonny5]

this game is bad ass....

give me a version i can play on a real sized screen....with a stick....

but seriosuly...best game ive played on a DS(or DSi) since EBA

[SFKhoa]

I'm going to have to stea-er, borrow my cousin's DSi just to rape the leaderboards again.

[Jockel]

best game ive played on a DS(or DSi) since EBA

let's all hope this is sarcasm.
EBA is rape for the ears.
Play some Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! instead. It's the same, only that it's not gay.

Then Metal Torrent aka Aa Mujou Setsuna in Japan makes its North American debut on May 24. Arika, the company that brought Ketsui to the Nintendo DS, developed this DSiWare download. You can read our playtest of the Japanese version here.

Finally this game is getting a US release

Beat me to it, so...

Lol. Touhou. Hardcore? Whatever.

[Jockel]

So yeah the game's out now and so far i'm enjoying it.
Oh hai first spot in the internet ranking btw

[Hydeux]

Are the western online rankings "region locked" (one for Europe, one for USA) or do we have the same one ? (btw I'm not even sure the game's out in Northern America...)
Just asking 'cause :


(Pattern mode, Blue Nova)
And I'm 6th with the Red Orion !

What ?
Nobody plays that one 'cause nobody owns a DSi ?
Hum...
Yes... I know...

Does someone have a link towards Japanese scores ? (just to be absolutely sure I'm crap !)
