Nice, I've just read that on Gamefront.de as well.

Excellent news!

Super Laydock · Post by **Super Laydock** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 2:18 pm

Actually didn't see that one coming!

Anyway it's once again official: Dreamcast refuses to die!

They'll have at least 1 preorder, that's for sure!

***goes off watching the videos other stuff again***

That's great news! I saw this game in an arcade a while ago and it looked really fun. I'm sure the DC will be able to handle it nicely.

CIT · Post by **CIT** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 2:42 pm

Whoa! That's GREAT news!

I've played the game before and it's just as exciting as it is weird. ( http://forum.shmups.com/forum/viewtopic ... t=rajirugi )

Now "we be prayin" for Under Defeat on DC, right?

captain ahar · Post by **captain ahar** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 2:51 pm

great news, i'll certainly be placing a pre-order when they open.

....I can honestly say (and can probably speak for a percentage of the members here) that I didn't see this coming at ALL.

This is just awesome news. On top of that, unlike Chaos Field, the preliminary feedback for this game was/is very positive...

...just remember, Milestone...people actually like to save their high scores.

"rajuruji" kinda sounds indian rather than japanese tho'

Kiken · Post by **Kiken** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 3:22 pm

Can anyone confirm whether or not MileStone has posted this on their website (there's a 12/01 entry for Rajirugi)? I'm at work right now and none of these computers have the Japanese language support installed (so the pages are just coming out as ASCII nonsense).

Kron · Post by **Kron** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 3:31 pm

There's no update about it yet on the milestone website it simply says their is a new diary entry and its some more info and feedback about the arcade version.

There is a magazine scan on http://www.gamefront.de which shows the DC version release.

Rock on!!!! I will definitely be pre-ordering this!

Hopefully the DC gets one last good exclusive as a swan song.

I doubt it will stay exclusive forever. Chaos Field got ported to Gamecube and soon PS2 too.

Let's just be grateful for a DC port at all and being the first to come out.
Exclusive or not if this would be the last commercial DC game (you can never be sure if it's the last... we're talking Dreamcast here

) the omens are that it's a rather good one.

Videos for download from here:

I downloaded some and this game looks really cool! I can't wait to pre-order it. It reminds me of Chaos Field still.

It does looks really happy though!

Great news, looks great.

It's that cell shaded shmup right ?

Can anyone confirm the magazine it's in? I'm amazed the news got a full page spread.

I'm thinking 360 there. Mind you, I would LOVE to see it on the DC.

Holy shit. NICE! I've been waiting for Rajirugi forever. Cool little cel shaded vert scroller from Milestone.

Checked out the videos a while ago, and it looks really good.

^^ thanks Captain!

One preorder placed.

neoalphazero · Post by **neoalphazero** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 6:24 pm

www.insertcredit.com

A bit more info and a conflicting price point (5800 yen) and date (2/26) to what Gamefront mentions. Apparently the game will have a net ranking like Trizeal. *-neo

metallica_tyler · Post by **metallica_tyler** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 7:00 pm

I just did my pre-order as well.

So Milestone has some ex-Compile employees? Where can I find info on where some of the other ones went?

Like... where did this guy go?

http://kelesis.free.fr/hp/moo/index_eng.htm

He seems to be the main guy @ what was Compile.

Post by **BulletMagnet** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 8:11 pm

Heh heh, the ol' DC's still refusing to go down quietly...well, assuming the game is good, anyways.

In any event, the preview stuff had me interested, I'll be keeping my eyes open...

theevilfunkster · Post by **theevilfunkster** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 8:40 pm

Sweet, this is awesome news! Another shooter on the good ol' Dreamcast. I've already pre-ordered mine but I sure hope it's better than Chaos Field.

Post by **Dave_K.** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 9:17 pm

Unbelievable. I hope this does well enough to send a msg to Sega and G.Rev to port their remaining naomi stuff over for a small profit. Ok maybe its not worth the small profit to these guys, but think of all the marketing buzz they would create!

dai jou bu · Post by **dai jou bu** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 10:10 pm

Here's hoping for a 90-99.99999999% port, if not 100%. Unecessary loading times and slowdown are very unfavorable for me.

Either way, this is still good news.

Nice, if it wasn't for those vids, I'd say it looks like butt, but that's just 'cause in the static pics, it looked like crappy pastel sprites, but it is actually cell shaded. I may want this...

I have a relatively long video of it (medicore quality) from the AM Show if anyone wants to see it, although I assume hameko has seen some much better quality ones since it's release.

It's quite funny watching this news spread across all the gaming forums across the vastness of the interweb. By the time I'd seen it here, it was all over about 5 or 6 other forums in like, 30seconds. Looks like Mile-Stone will be having very healthy sales from the responses I've seen.

Got mine on pre-order. Woooo go Dreamcast

Dylan1CC · Post by **Dylan1CC** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 11:53 pm

Let's see here:

February 2006 we have:

Ibara PS2

Gradius Collection PSP

and Rajuriji for DC.

It does not get much better than that, my shooter friends.

Awesome news, the game started off looking like a cell phone/flash game but the more footage that was released the more I wanted to play it. Manic sword-shmup meets futuristic JGR'esque visuals? I'm in. Dreamcast forever.
