"One of the ways I gauge a DS game is by recharges. "...Tycho (Penny Arcade)
I'd buy that for a dollar (or 500 points...or whatever....I'm still sort of new to XBLA)
Sounds once again like a bunch of bs from Treasure. Old arcade games are updated for HD all the time. Come on.
I really miss RS...I traded mine a couple years ago thinking it would re-emerge on XBLA or some compilation by now.
maybe its aged but there are enough gamers out there who enjoy playing older games who'd buy it. Tons in fact since a saturn copy will run you 200 they could charge a fair amount and still sell well especially with the ground work laid by ikaruga.
I don't care for the game as much as I used to. Ikaruga really spoiled me, but the saturn mode in Raidant Silvergun was so super awesome. Leveling up weapons to insane levels and plowing through was such a blast.
Arcade mode was pretty unfun...too much focus on juggling too many different color combos and secret combos. Ikaruga boiled it down to the best bits and trimmed out all of that extra fat.
Regardless, whatever this comes out on, I'll buy it (well ok, as long as it's not the Wii). Gotta support those US shmup releases and all.

From the way the dude was talking I'd say that they are thinking more along the lines of a full re-release. Theres probably more money to be made that way. But regardless of if it's on XBLA or if it gets another retail release, I'm buying it.

Treasure Collection for 360 anyone? RS, Ikaruga, and the still in development original shooter for 360? (I see no major problem with dreaming)
I thought the 360 shooter was officially canned.
The problem with re-releasing a lot of older games on XBLA/etc. is lots of times the companies no longer even have the source or a lot of the development assets around. For emulated stuff this is less of a problem... but if you're trying to update or port something and you don't have anything other than a few retail copies kicking around... that can be a problem. I know quite a few publishers in that pickle right now.
Sorry for a tangent, but you just gave me a huge epiphany with this comment. I own the ST-V cart of this and that's the only way I've ever played it. Needless to say, no Saturn mode there. In fact, I'd never heard of such a thing until now. Man, if that took away most of the "oh shit, which button combo do I need to defeat this enemy" stuff, I think I'd enjoy RS a whole lot more. So yeah, sign me up for this on XBLA because now I'm curious.
(Of course, I'd still rather see some Toplan or Raising on XBLA, but that's never gonna happen.)
Saturn mode is what makes this game.
For me, it was in reverse and incredibly jarring. I borrowed my friend's copy of the game for a while and had a blast learning the levels while leveling up my weapons over a period of time. A while after giving it back, I stumbled on it at a local arcade and decided to hit it up for fun. Totally not as much fun starting over from scratch every single time (well, unless you're hard up for memorizing all of the combos and such).
You really do need to see if you can find a way to experience the Saturn mode, even if only through emulation. It's quite sextacular and like Ace said, it's what makes the game.

I will definetly check this out if it comes out. This series rocks bigtime.
I think I would buy a 360 if they released this on XBLA. I mean, seriously, there's a market for it.
I guess I haven't spent enough time playing it. I picked up a copy a little while back for a steal. (Picked up a Saturn package that had RS, Shining Force III(US), and Guardian Heroes(US) and some other stuff for $150.) I tried it, but kept getting my rear end handed to me in short order so I kind of gave up on it and was thinking of possibly trading/selling it to concentrate on my US Saturn collection. I guess I just need to learn more about how to play it.

I'd rather see Gradius 6 which was announced for the 360 before it even came out and has apparently been quietly canceled since then.
I thought i would never buy an xbox but if they get RS on XBLA, the temptation is stronger than ever :S

what they meant to say is "we're not sure we want to piss off every person who has a factory sealed copy of the Saturn version for sale, by creating the potential for prices of that version to come back down to reality, and fall into accordance with how common it actually is, even in factory sealed condition"

Well D, I don't think that's a good train of thought to make business decisions by.
Hmmmm, huge profit or make angry about a thousand people who are going to buy it anyway to not have to unseal their copies?
