Radiant Silvergun coming to XBOX Live Arcade in 2011 - THERE IS A GAMING GOD!!!!!!!!!

So I was just checking out some random youtube videos and from time to time I like to watch some gameplay of Radiant Silvergun. Then I came across this video.

Radiant Silvergun coming to XBLA

Radiant Silvergun for Xbox Live Arcade

What's interesting about the announcement of Radiant Silvergun coming to XBLA is that, if you remember, when we spoke with Maegawa two years ago, he was somewhat doubtful that it would happen. At the time, he said that moving the game to the Xbox 360 and enhancing it along the way could require a significant amount of development resources, of which he wasn't sure Treasure wanted to spare. Last year, he went so far as to say that even though Microsoft had requested they bring the game to XBLA, it just wasn't in the cards. So why the change in heart? According to Maegawa, it was because enough Treasure fans had clamored for it -- that they paid attention to the comments on sites like 1UP and ultimately decided to go forward with the project. Because in Maegawa's mind, the game was going to need to be a complete HD re-imagining -- which is not the case now. He said enough fans simply wanted the original game, albeit still spruced up for the 360, but not necessarily completely redone -- that they decided to make it happen.

Instead of pouring lots of efforts into the visuals (though make no mistake, the game has been enhanced -- Maegawa states that they touched things up where appropriate), Treasure instead focused on a new mode, the secret Ikaruga shooting style teased in the trailer. And while he wasn't able to elaborate on the mode too much (it's a secret!), he said most fans of Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga should be able to have a good sense of what it will play like. Interestingly, Maegawa, who is usually very modest about Treasure's work, says he's having a really great time playing the Ikaruga mode -- he says that it's almost like an entirely new game.

I also asked why he felt that Radiant Silvergun is such a beloved game around the world (even though it was previously never even released in the U.S.), and how many consider it to be the greatest shoot-em-up ever made. Maegawa thinks that it's probably because it's not your traditional, straightforward shooter -- when they first set out to make the game, they wanted to come up with something very different. Through things like the chain system, Radiant Silvergun has elements of puzzle games and a lot more strategy to it -- in fact, Maegawa admitted that he was never all that big on shoot-em-ups himself, but what they did with Radiant Silvergun really appealed to him.

I couldn't believe my eyes. They are releasing a HD version of Radiant Silvergun for the XBOX Live Arcade. They have not set any dates, but I get to play something I've always wanted a chance to play. I am so happy XBOX 360 has been taking the lead in releasing a lot of beloved shoot'em ups.

We even got Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury (your fucking right it's missile fury) coming out in 2011 as well.

Next year is going to be an excellent year for games.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah. A few more re-releases of 10 year old+ games and we could almost have a full blown gaming revival on our hands.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Or maybe he already knew about this and has already wondered how the button layout will be.

Either way this is good news to people who can't play the game on SSF. If only my USB Saturn pad worked on da 360.

I was speaking idiomatically.
