Looks stunning, although I fully expect it to break me.

I could see how good Spirits was, but the controls meant I always preferred the Dreamcast version. But Bangai-O with two analogue sticks? This could be the ultimate version, for a meagre 800msp. Really looking forward to it.

Bangai-O Spirits was fantastic. Will this definitely dual sticks? It always felt like the "limited" were part of the gameplay.

Day one.

I was obsessed with the DS version for months - first and only time frame rate drops actually worked in a game.

Looking forward to this. If it's like the Dreamcast one (I hope it is) it won't be that hard, just completely nuts.

Will try the demo. Desperately wanted to enjoy Spirits but couldn't get in to it. Not in the least bit accessible.

Ooh, more Bangai-O? I hadn't heard anything, if this is a new title not a port then that's very exciting.

Mrs. M:
Do you know the large Space fruits that the Kosmo gang smuggle?
Riki:
What? Those legendary space fruits? The huge Space fruits?
Riki:
Go ahead, tell me! Where are these valuable things?
Mrs. M:
They appear when you destroy something.
Mrs. M:
You have already gained them without control.
Riki:
Okay, that's the way it is!
Riki:
They are huge fruits Which are apparently in space..
Mrs. M:
The type of fruit changes with the number of explosions.
Mrs. M:
The more, the better. Makes 50000 credits please.

May 4th is the new best day ever. You'd better be able to download user levels with a Silver account, though, or there'll be some face-punching.

"Where is radiant silvergun?"

Weeping in a corner wishing it could be a hundredth as good as this.

@speedjack - "...first and only time frame rate drops actually worked in a game."

Totally right - it's visual proof that you're playing it properly!

Seeing my beloved Dreamcast slow to a crawl when I finally managed to trigger 999 simultaneous explosions was magical. Never has watching a screen struggle to refresh been so cathartic.

And to think that Spirits was even better...amazing...

Bring on the Fury!

I suck at games where enemies come from all directions. It does look pretty though.
