IGN gives Akai Katana Shin 7 / 10

Not a big surprise, but atleast the release has gotten a review from a major site. Pretty typical review, but it does make me burn seeing how they just gave Sine Mora a 9 when the deserving shmups can't seem to find an experienced major reviewer. And the reviewer has the balls to compare the two while concluding the latter is "better I every way" going on to add that you can get Skyrim for the same price as AKS. Yeah if all I want is to see flying horses and glitched out, zero-challenge... Which is a fair comparison to a finely-tuned shmup, no?

Can't wait for my shipment to arrive. Videogamesplus in Canada said it shipped on the 17th. Anyone get their NA copy yet?

I don't think this deserves another separate thread. We already have 2 large threads concerning the Western release of the game.
