Strike witches coming to 360!!!

[Friendly]

If you want to play it [...] Have a nice day.

I think playing Strike Witches and having a nice day is mutually exclusive.

[denpanosekai]

Looks like it's coming to the PS3 as well now.

No it's not. It's only being released on PSP not PS3. If you want to play it on a console your going to need a Jap/Asian Xbox 360 Have a nice day.

Don't shoot the messenger. The article said PS3 back when I posted it, it was corrected to PSP shortly after.
Honestly I think it would have been a good move for it to be a PS3 port.

I like how they're porting a dual analog shooter to a system that only has one analog stick (or nub).

Yea. guess it'll probably end up like the Dreamcast version of Bangai-O?..

You'd think psvita would be a more sensible choice then. Besides the fact the vita has bombed hard so far.

[Estebang]

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't opt for the Vita. It would probably require less porting work, given the greater similarities in processing power.

It's too early to say the Vita has "bombed hard"--it took the PSP over a year to pick up steam, even in Japan.

Speaking of Strike Witches, should I watch it? It looks kind of interesting, pantsu aside. Is it actually watchable?

[Estebang]

You're better off watching the original concept OVA. I really wish the series had been a proper continuation of it.

Not much to recommend about the show--I guess there's some entertaining comedy banter here and there, along with the usual titillation and MOEE~~. Aside from that, you're left with the action scenes, which might be more exciting if the enemies weren't abstract 3D masses of black hexagons, obviously showing the minimal art budget. The Japanese DVDs have uncensored nipples in a few places; they were probably taken out for the US release due to fear of being labeled child porn.

Watchable, but it is a fan service series. Don't expect anything great. Some boobs an low cut panties. The story is pretty generic. It's funny when they try for actual drama.

[Estebang]

Sky Girls is a very similar show to Strike Witches that started not too long before. It's only notable for the Engrish OP theme and the Vic Viper cameos (Konami owns the property).

[shmuppyLove]

Ok I just watched the first 5 minutes.

I can't decide if this is the best or the worst thing I have ever seen.

[ZenErik]

It's so bad it's good. Honestly, I cannot stand most fan service series, but somehow I have made it through two seasons of Strike Witches.

You could do a lot worse... Like Kanokon or Ikki Tousen, haha...

[Estebang]

The best pure fanservice anime is He Is My Master (for the comedy, not the boobage).

[Jeneki]

Yea. guess it'll probably end up like the Dreamcast version of Bangai-O?..

Either that or the Genesis/PCEngine versions of Forgotten Worlds (rotate left, shoot, rotate right). Depends how important it is to turn quickly (Bangai-O) vs small turns for accurate aiming (FW).

Crappy game based on an even crappier animu series

[TrevHead (TVR)]

This doujin version seems to be better than the console one

It does look better. Still, no animu cut scenes

[Elixir]

Amiami has both versions up, the LE and SE.

Shitty game for a shitty anime, fitting. It actually worked better with twin stick controls, something that the PSP version won't have.

[BulletMagnet]

Trailer for the PSP version.

Great game!
Well...not bad & it gives you a nice Forgotten Worlds fix.
I've started playing but haven't understood which character is which until the cutscenes between stages give the info.
So now I have an idea. My first attempt with Junko was not great but I still got 414mil.

I'll squeeze some more from Normal skill level and I'll try to ALL Very Hard. Kiken's achievement of ALLing Very Hard is impressive

Where's the High Score thread for this game
EOJx9999 has one on his forum.
Damn impressive, he now even has a Counter Stop in his name!

[iconoclast]

I thought it was fun too. It's pretty easy and doesn't really have any longevity, but it's a fun game to relax with. The girls with the lightning shot are overpowered.

[DEL]

^Well there's still score to go for.

It would be good if someone would create a high score thread. - EDIT:- Set one up.
EDIT:
Just got 433mil on Normal
