Not sure what Nin Nin Jump is all about, but Akai Katana looks fucking sexy - I love Cave's few horizontal shooters, so I can't wait to get my hands on this one. Thankfully I won't be waiting long as Akai Katana releases on the 26th of May!!!

Yeah I was surprised to see those screens and see that Akai Katana Shin is horizontal, heh.

Phew it's like the 360 is the shmup platform since the Saturn...

I think both Akai and Nin nin look fantastic. Hope Akai sees a worldwide release fingers crossed Red Star will pick it up after the fantastic PAL port of Deathsmiles.

Nin Nin Jump looks like a really cool platformer.

I've been waiting for the announce of the Akai Katana home port, but I think I'm going to skip on Deathsmiles on iOS. Unlike ESPII and DFK it looks like you have to spend more time using the soft buttons. Plus, the enemies are coming from both sides, so you'll probably obscure some of them with your fingers.

geez I need to get an import 360

[Shogun]

Can't you just put a mod chip in a US 360 and it will play backups and imports? I don't know about xbox but the Japanese PSN cards have quite a mark up on them.

I need to leave my 360 un-modded because I WILL be playing Gears of War 3 online a lot at the end of this year and I love the games on the live arcade

Oh so they can detect if you have a modded system then. I haven't researched modding current gen systems at all. Its probably a pain and I would only do it to a 360 so I could get some shmups action going.

A TON of people got banned over Modern Warfare 2 and even if it was safe I don't feel comfortable taking the chance with an online connected system.
