News Xbox 360

Ubisoft gets specific.

Ubisoft has confirmed that Wartech Senko no Ronde will be heading to European shelves on 27th May.

The Xbox 360 shooter was announced in last week's release schedule, and was listed to appear some time next month.

Wartech Senko no Ronde was released in Japan last month, and has been receiving decent reviews.

The game puts you up against increasingly enormous bosses in a beat-'em-up-style versus battle. The only difference being that you are a spaceship, rather than a person, and you use laser beams and missiles instead of karate chops and Van Damn spin kicks.

Unfortunately that's all we have to go by at the moment, although we expect the multiplayer options will make it past the translation stages.

The only other mover in the latest Ubisoft release schedule was Cosmic Family for Wii, which now has a fresh date of 29th June.

It is the best non-Western game on the Xbox 360.

I hope everybody buys it.

It is good, but best non-western game might be pushing it a bit, in my opinion of course

Um... is Senko no Ronde Japanese for Cosmic Family?!

EDIT: Oh wait, I see - can the screens link to Senko no Ronde and not Cosmic Family please!

A detailed, informed review of the game, with videos to accompany can be found [link url=http:/ /insomnia.ac/reviews/naomi/senkonoronde/

Now, if only Ubisoft were equally forthcoming with information/media, and perhaps, the price. The game looks like good fun, so I'll get it.

While it's not official, IGN http://uk .xbox360.ign.com/articles/777/7... mention it's likely to cost forty, judging by the release schedule list Ubi sent them.

Is Van Damn a pun, or a misspelt Van Damme?

So, what'll it be called in English? Senko no Ronde wouldn't go down well with the general public, methinks.

"WarTech: Senko no Ronde" is the full title. I reckon they'll make the "Senko no Ronde" bit as small as humanly possible.

I'm reasonably interested in picking this up - it looks a lot like the bastard offspring of Virtual On and Ikaruga - but the real sticking point is going to be price. If they ask us to pay full retail price then I won't be biting, there just doesn't look like there's enough substance.
