Strike witches coming to 360!!!

[antares]

I'd buy that for a dollar!

[xris]

Gameplay video up on jp xbl.
...The medals look cool.

[nZero]

Hopefully there's an option or mode that turns off cutscenes

[ex.machina]

The video looks like some cheap crap.... oh hell, I gotta buy it anyway

[Elixir]

Eh, it looks decent, but I'd be pretty annoyed if you couldn't completely turn off those cutscenes. There's a "skip" option, but they would still pop up every time before being able to skip them. If there's a way to play the game without them, I'll buy it.

[ex.machina]

The cut scenes are the best of the game, why you wanna turn them off?
Anyway, this game should in no way be worth a full retail price. Anyone knows what's included with the limited edition? Based on its price, I'd assume a figure or something.

I think I'll wait for this one to hit platinum and then buy it for a reasonable price, just like oto G. the game seems a bit odd

It might as well end up in the bargain bins in Japan before that....

Yep, a Nendroid.

I'm not usually one to complain about graphics, but I find it bizarre that Omega Five, a game that came out 2 years ago for $10, completely blows this full retail game out of the water.

It still looks fun and I'll be getting it for no other reason cause I'm a fan of the show, but the visuals certainly look halfassed.

[Sturmvogel Prime]

I applaud the idea of character switching, and the use of a Forgotten Worlds style gameplay, but Cybernator-Style in-game interruptions, "One-CG Cutscenes" for Story Mode, is that Strike Witches or Triggerheart Exelica Enhanced? (well, SW looks like a World War II-themed THE Knock Off anyway.)

Those interruptions are the kind of thing that i have no tolerance for, if a shmup is going to have a Story Mode, it must be fluid, and not obstructive. Like i said, it works well on RPGs, but not in Shmups.

[apple arcade]

The game looks fun. Graphics aren't the best but look fine.

I'm going to assume there will be a straight story free arcade mode.

[Jeneki]

Regenerating shield bars?

[Cthulhu]

I might get this simply because I try to get every shmup that comes out, but ... I'm not eager to drop full price on this game. The whole thing looks cheap for a full-price retail game.

I'm ambivalent about the show, so that doesn't really sway my opinion any.

[No_not_like_Quake]

What's up with the cutscenes? What could they possibly have to say? "Large boss incoming, we must destroy it."

[Cuilan]

More images of the figure that's going to be included with the LE : http://ameblo.jp/gsc-mikatan/day-20100518.html

Does not justify the high price of the LE I'd say. I will stick with the normal edition.

[Elixir]

What's up with the cutscenes? What could they possibly have to say? "Large boss incoming, we must destroy it."

"Oh no, isn't that _____ we saw on ____?"
"Yes, I think it is."
"Arara I'm comic relief"
"We'd better follow it and see what it's up to"
"It's coming this way!"
"Oh, it's trying to escape, don't let it get away!"
"Do these robotic legs make my ass look fat?"
"I'm comic relief >.<;;;;;;;;;"
"Okay, everyone, be on your guard!"
"All right, we did it! Time for the next stage"
"That thing was big... I'm scared..."
"Don't worry, I'll protect you"
"Aww, you're soooo totally cool"
"I'm a fucking dialogue box with text in it"

The real issue here is that all of the text is unnecessary. At least with Deathsmiles, you had one part after Sakura, another before the Castle, and one just before fighting Jitterbug. Unfortunately none of those could be skipped, but they're not too long and don't happen every 5 seconds, like this game has. If and only if you can disable them, I'll buy it. Otherwise forget it.

Does anything else come with the LE apart from the nendoroid?

For those who want to see some gameplay skip to 1:40. I realley hope that those cutscenes can be turned off, but I don't keep my hopes to high the game looks too meh.

I'm pretty sure the cutscenes aren't present when playing in arcade mode.

I wonder what the largest 360 LE box is?

I wonder what the largest 360 LE box is?

Christ, all that packaging just for that tiny figure? Surely it has to hold something else. I think the NA Record of Agarest War LE is the largest packaging for a 360 game to date. Soul Caliber IV's LE probably right behind it.

[professor ganson]

With Record of Agarest, they stuff some largish things in a small, flimsy box that isn't really robust enough for storing the LE items. So it might not be the biggest package; presumably the naughtiest, though.

[mistcore]

This is probably the biggest 360 LE box so far.

[Elixir]

This is probably the biggest 360 LE box so far.

I tried to find a picture of this but came up empty. Thank you. I think it comes with a tshirt..

The Alan Wake and Deathsmiles LEs are bigger, though.

The LE for Chaos Head Love Chu Chu comes with a magazine and a towel. The magazine is where the size comes from, it's printed on really big paper.
