Well, maybe this will get a few more people to try the game out. I still haven't yet, but a price this low will help me consider it. Feb. 23 is going to be a big day for 2D shooting, with this, Ibara, and Sega Ages Treasure Box.

Maybe they should have called it GWG Taito Mediocre... but I guess that doesn't sell games so well.

And before certain individuals start to chastise, let me say that I enjoy GWG, but the port (and the game, for that matter) could have been better.

...a reprint? Sounds bizarre, in the sense that i can't see it as a success in the first place (that warrants a reprint).
"The only desire the Culture could not satisfy from within itself was one common to both the descendants of its original human stock and the machines [...]: the urge not to feel useless."

Lots of Japanese games that didn't necessarily do Greatest Hits-like numbers the first time get reprints, since it's always at the discretion of the publisher and it's a good way to make some additional sales. Taito have done it with many of their PS2-ported shooters, for example.

Hmm, just $7 more and you can get the original version...
