I tell 'ya, one of these days I'm gonna move to Japan just to get a cell-phone; probably wouldn't even NEED a console at that point! 
C'mon Taito...port this to the DC!!.
Taito makes a NEW cute platformer!

If this get's ported to the JPSTwo, or we get a Sega Ages Thunder Blade, Zaxxon, or Star Jacker port, I may just cave in (pun intended!) and get a JPSTwo, instead of a modded-PS1, or a PS1 and boot disc.
BTW, here's the game's official website:

Let's hope it's ported to the PS2 though. A DC release only marginalises games now.

I have been a Taito fanboy since KickMaster (a platformer) on the NES, nothing to be ashamed about my friend.Randorama wrote:I'm officially a Taito fanboy .Always been actually, but never had the balls to declare it
I definitely hope this don't play like Umihara Kawase though. The concept is great, but I played the damn thing, and it's very very very awkward. Sometimes I execute an impossible move and finish a level, but I can't never execute the most basic normal moves consistently so that I can pass a level normally for once.

Totally DISagreed!
If the game gets a PS2 release (which I wouldn't mind ofcourse...also having a japanese ps2) it will just be 1 of the about 40 releases that month and will get less attention or at least has more chance of not getting the attention it deserves.
On Dreamcast it will be 1 out of say 3 releases that YEAR. And DC has a pretty large hardcore following too. Only problem I see is the scumbags pirating the game (which is easier on DC than on PS2...).

A DC release, no matter how cool or hardcore it might be, will totally kill the game. DC releases sell less than a few thousand copies now. Trizeal is estimated to have between 3 and 4 thousand copies in existence. It doesn't matter if it "doesn't stand out" among PS2 games, really - if it sells 10,000 units, that'll be about triple what it might do on the DC.
A DC release of this game just can't happen.
Despite what I wrote in that IC newspost, Spica Adventure is not the only 2D action game the arcades have received recently. Aruze has released a Rainbow Islands-type game with non-flashy 2D graphics named Tower & Shaft. It even had a GBA version.

I saw that game for sale and I figured it was some old clunker that I had never seen before.Recap wrote: Despite what I wrote in that IC newspost, Spica Adventure is not the only 2D action game the arcades have received recently.

Neither the box nor the screenshots made it look appealing whatsoever, and I had never heard of it, so I just put it back and never gave it a second thought. I wonder if it's any good...Also, for what it's worth, I've never seen it in an arcade here.
