This is gonna be amazing! HD Ikaruga, online leaderboards, online coop for this great game.  I hope it won't be too expensive though because I already own the GC version.

Bah.

Bah? Bah?  Bah Humbug!

I am so excited about Ikaruga coming onto XBL.

Holy shit, between this, Castlevania:SotN, and the smaller lesser known games on there MS's online marketplace kicks the crap out of the other two.

You're crazy.  Sy and I played this at his house the other day.  I died about 27,000 times in ten minutes.  I really dug the game, and in fact I've owned it for a while (I just forgot I had it), but holy fuck that's a hard game.

The only reason I said Bah is I wanted it to remain a Nintendo exclusive.

[gpw11]

Well, it was on Dreamcast as well.

OK shows how much I know about consoles.

And you complain about money, ha.

At least I'll be able to try it out without spending money.  I don't get into overly hard games, but after all the attention this one has gotten, I do want to see what it's about.

Dude, I got the game like four years ago.  I wasn't even married then.  And it wasn't expensive, either.

It's about demoralizing and emasculation.  Spend a few hours with it, and you will feel very, very powerless.  Unless you're willing to spend a crapload of time with it and get good, like JB.  Really a beautiful game, though.  It looks remarkably good for a game as old as it is.

I believe I have 80 hours clocked into the game.  But I haven't played it lately, so I am quite rusty myself.

I had this on Gamecube. Que is right. This game is like punishment from God.
