I know it's not the best game in the world but I really have been wanting to play this game.  Yeah I'm sure the controller will not come stateside, but I wonder if I could buy the controller separately and it would actually work with the US game?  Thanks for sharing the info.

Well Otomedius Excellent will have all different character than Otomedius G had. I dont know how much of the gameplay will just be rehashed or changed.

It figures that it's on the 360 & not the PS3.  Konami can go suck a lemon.  They also made Harmony of Despair 360 exclusive(though, it sounds boring thankfully).  Traitors! :P

A know a guy who bought this game as an import with the controller.

Short story: Its a lame-ass game, and the controller's touch pad is nigh on useless. You aren't missing shit.

Or rather, you ARE missing shit.

Well the arcade is a touch screen so the home experience is a good effort. Controller is crazy expensive and only works with one game. Thats Konami for you.

I am still getting this. Got to support any stateside STG release or else all STGs will be Japan only in the future. Let these corporate bigwigs know that there is still a niche market for these games in the west.

Yea Konami needs to get off thier asses and release Gradius VI already!

Hopefully they will have Treasure co-develop that game as well if they decide to do a Gradius 6. Gradius 5 is amazing.

In 2006 they actually announced a Gradius VI, and then.... said nothing more about it for five years. I suspect it got cancelled. We did however get Gradius Rebirth a couple years ago.

I bought this yesterday.

It's awesome. It's a modern retro-shooter that isn't bullet hell :D :D :D

Also, it's got anime boobs, which is awesome.

I got CE edition. It came with a pillow case. I'm not sure that I think of that.

Mine came, I have to go pick it up.  Its about f*cking time it came out.

I don't want to poo-poo anyone's good time, but I find this game to be absolutely f*cking atrocious. Boring as hell and virtually no redeeming qualities. Sadly, not even boobies could save it from being a less-than-pedestrian, lazy, and flat-out boring shmup. It looks like a hi-res N64 game (only slightly exaggerating), and plays like the developers got bored after the first level.

There's one level toward the end that's slightly interesting because it reminded me of level one of Gate of Thunder, but that's followed up by a boss rush over a plain black background.

I really wanted to love this game, and hoped all the negative comments I'd read about it on Shmups.com and other places were unfounded. Alas...I feel like I was robbed out of $50 for a game that would have been overpriced as a $10 XBLA game.

If you want a horizontal shmup on XBLA or Games On Demand with a dash of titties, you'd be much better served with Deathsmiles or Trouble Witches Neo.

Sorry to drop a deuce on your thread. The "art book" is nice, though!

I liked Otomedius G but it was a f*cking nightmare to unlock. My copy of Excellent shipped yesterday so I should have it next week sometime. Also I needed a new pillowcase

Nice Ope!  Sweet dreams with that pillow case. :D
