Does anyone know if it receiving any sort of update? Or is it just a bare bones arcade conversion, as the game is pretty old.

Goddammit I don't have time for this!

I'll check out the demo but likely won't buy. Too much backlog, too little time, and I always seem to drop shooters soon after I buy anyway. I think I like the IDEA of shooters more than actually playing them.

I may pick this up

Bought the game and must say I am dissapointed.

Forced widescreen 16:9 , No Option for 4:3

What a f*cking joke! I cannot believe they overlooked this. Every XBLA & Retail shmup has this option.

Yeah seriously. Borders if you play Hori or Tate. They should just of renamed the game to "BORDERS" the Shmup set in Feudal Japan.

OK heres my basic run down for it:

Gameplay is 10/10 - Its everything you expect from a cave shooter, hundreeds of bullets, perfect sensitivity, customisable controls, not alot to say here.

Sound 7/10 - Its fitting with the feudal theme but personally it doesnt get me in the "trance" mood like other shmups. Its pretty good but nothing mroe than above average.

Graphics 4/10 - Honestly whilst the game itself isn't terrible its no eye candy with a sort of grainy feel to it. However what makes it drop from a 7-8/10 is the screen. On my 30" CRT tv the game takes up less than a quater of the screen, its rediculous. The borders are forced and massive, not just left and right either but top and bottom to. Did they not want player streching the actual game screen because then it would look worse? Or did they just rush it out and not care?

Overall its probably worth your 800 points, however only after you've bought the better arcade games; Deathspank, toy soldiers, splosion man ect

That sucks
I hate borders but I will be playing vertical on my rotatable LCD , I do have the Arcade PCB but also want the XBLA version so I will still buy it tomorrow though .

Edit :

Just saw this on Neogaf and that's how I will be playing it also , good enough for me :
