New Konami Horizontal Scrolling Shooter In The Works--Not Gradius!?!

[agbulls]

The more I look at this game the more I'm sure it will NEVER get released in the states. Sigh...can't US gamers buy more weird shit like the Japanese? People bought Katamari, didn't they?

I've only played a little Cotton, but yes, I like what I've tried.

And what's wrong with Mushihime-sama and Ibara?

In Mushihime-sama's case, it's stuff like this THOROUGHLY UNSAFE FOR WORK figure that came with the official soundtrack.

Actually, Mushihime-sama disappointed me. It was okay, but not really ESPrade or Galuda caliber. And that, combined with Cave's alarmingly rapid descent into unwholesome lolita-fan pandering, kept me away from Ibara and that Pink Sweets thing. I can laugh off conventional, cartoony T&A in games, but Cave's really aiming for the icky shut-in Japanese fans, if the art for stuff like Muchi Muchi Pork is any indication.

I don't know who sanafe is, but he's doing a good job recording gameplay of all the games at the AOU07 expo. Some other highlights include:

Exziel - A sequel to Triangle Service's Trizeal shooter. They also have another shooter related game on display (forgot the name).

Dynamite Deka X - A new entry to Sega's quality 3D beat em up series.

and...

Chase H. Q. 2 - A big suprise from out of nowhere! Not only does this mean that Taito is back at making arcade games, but they're making a long overdue sequel to a 20 year old classic!

All these games have video footage from this sanafe guy.

I'm looking forward to this mostly because i'm a fan of Mine Yoshizaki's artwork. Most of the games he's done art for are fairly interesting/fun too, as he himself is a videogame fan and did fan comics of games for awhile. He even made an entire manga/anime about playing arcade games. Shooter is a plus for sure though.

[Tron 2.0]

If it ends up as fun as parodius i'm interested.

Still i just hope there's a port of it planed later on.

I'd love to give it a try.

[Iron Draggon]

well if you ask me, the most overdue Konami sequel is Axelay 2, not another game in some other series of theirs that's had several sequels made already!

Game Looks Great, I'd probably die alot just trying to enjoy the scenery. I Prefer Vertical shooters Like Musha for Sega Genesis or Dimahoo Arcade. I just feel more involved when playing Vertical. Mike : )

Looks awesome, but I'd bet $100 it will NEVER come here.
