I just got a 360 for free........but I would rather wait & see if it'll somehow come out on the PS3.

You're a poet and don't even know it!  :lol:

Seriously though, I NEED to play this game. I'll be curious to see if it's as brutally difficult as its originator.

this is too rad.  i can't believe these shooters that i thought for surely would stay in japan are actually coming over.  it is unfortunate, though, that publishers only seem content to localize those that have well-worn "franchise" names attached to them (i.e. raiden).  they need to get on the horse and bring over:

- do don pachi daioujou black label extra
- deathsmiles
- shikigami no shiro III
- mushihimesama futari
- shooting love, 200X
- mamoru-kun wa norowarete shimatta*
- ketsui kizuna jigoku tachi extra*
- otomedius g! (edit oops, just realized i forgot this one)

too much goodness being held back!

(* these are still pre-release in japan)

Awesome! I love Raiden. Can't wait for more. The Fighters Aces collection is just a blast too. Currently #7(!!) on the leaderboards for the first one!

Man I'm so glad Raiden IV is finally coming over state side.  Now all I need is the Cave shooters for 360 and Otomedius...with the controller also.  I can dream about that one.
