Horrible game by the way. The controls aren't responsive, the hit detetction is completely broken and scoring on the game is about staying on the same spot killing enemies for 4 minutes straight, by just pressing the button very quickly.
Hey, at least you asked! You do deserve credit for that. At this point in time, I would take an IREM collection on any of the current platforms. IMO, they're sitting on too many awesome arcade games that gamers would purchase. Does anyone know how well Irem Arcade Classics on the PS1 and Saturn sold? I would ask the same question about their Image Fight & X-Multiply collections. Because if those didn't sell well back in the '90's, perhaps that's at least part of the reason why they have no plans to release a collection in the future.stryc9 wrote:Thats my Email sent.

Sadly, I could see the rationale in expecting an arcade collection disc to be a flop for today's market. What would work a lot better is finding ways to emulate the games for the Virtual Console or XBLA, but it's pretty obvious that Nintendo/America and Microsoft barely give half a shit about raising the quality of those services for the old-school hardcore gamers that enjoy things like shmups, etc... Nintendo of America just wants to make sure they give everybody Mario Tennis, Donkey Kong Jr. Math, and anything else they can think of that's not Earthbound. To this day, I almost feel like the PC Engine version of Gradius II was added by mistake. XBLA wants to make sure its arcade games never exceed the quality one might still find in the local bowling alley. These potential avenues need to be opened wider or Irem will have no reason to not keep themselves plenty busy making PSP strategy titles.dave4shmups wrote: Hey, at least you asked!
