Otomedius X (Excellent!)
Xbox 360
Fall release
7140 yen
Development 25% complete

Makes me wonder if the original Otomedius was so succesful, especially in comparison to a possible Gradius sequel (which we're all waiting for)...


EDIT: overlooked hirounder's posting in the original Otomedius thread, here:
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.ph ... 79#p585179



Still I guess this deserves a new thread after all

Great news!
Being critically succesful surely isn't the only reason a sequel should be made, especially in the shmup world anyways.

Are these information accurate? Can't expect much in such a short development period then.

Well that depends. If they're reusing the engine and some assets they can probably do a lot in that time.

Fudoh asked me to close this thread. As he mentioned in his edit, this discussion can continue in the original thread. In the event that later we want a unique thread for this game, this can be re-opened.
