Treasure said they "have been thinking" about brining Radiant Silvergun to XBLA after Ikaruga:

Heres the orginal article on 1up.com

My favorite part: "However, he mentioned that it would be a much bigger undertaking, as Treasure would like to actually redo elements of the game -- basically, enhance it with high resolution visuals to make it more current."

No simple ports for Treasure.

Stop thinking and do it, dumbasses. They have so much money to make. They could spend just a little time to port and enhance it, and charge 30-40 dollars for this game and people still wouldn't hesitate to take it over the $150 saturn version. It will print money!

Im a proud owner of radiant silvergun, i do not want to see the re-released.

no because im scared that it will de-value my game, its just that i want to keep it mystic esoteric quality (if that makes any sense to anyone)

please dont ask, thats just how i feel.

anyways, it wont be the same, nothing like playing radiant on sega saturn and getting the feeling of
"wow, i cant believe they did that on a saturn"

i just feel that once people play it on a xbox 360, these modern gamers may bring the game down because they are desensitized with superior modern graphix and bring the game down.

leave it on a saturn treasure, please!!

Oh yeah, they'll listen to you; the minority. They won't listen to the majority, waving cash in the air

Well i know, if i was treasure i would look to make money as well, thats one of the reasons i said before,
"please dont ask, thats just how i feel"

but then again, mabye treasure survives on the legacy of radiant silvergun, if they re-release a game that wowed gamers on the saturn, the wow affect will be desensitized to demanding modern games and make treasure a less reputable company.

I, too, am nervous about re-tooling graphics for modern system ports. Like, Super Mario All Stars on the SNES - SMB1 just wasn't as fun on that as it is on the NES. It just didn't *feel* right. Same game, same levels and mechanics, but it just was wrong somehow.

Then again, I'm dying to grab Marathon 2: Durandal on XBLA

"They're everywhere!!!!"

Sounds awesome, will definitely buy that first day it comes out. I wonder what this will do to RS value though. I just picked up super metroid for $12 shipped on ebay when a few years ago I remember it going for $60+

If that's the case, at least you can still play the original....

Absolutely. Though, some remakes have managed to keep the feel of the original - The Legend of Zelda for the Super Famicom satellite service, for instance.
