So I've been carefully considering picking up a Japanese Xbox 360 during my next visit to Japan for the sole purpose of getting my hands on the myriad of shmups that have been coming out for that system. Between Otomedius Gorgeous, DoDonPachi, Mushihime-sama Futari, Raiden IV, and Death Smiles, i would have a hell of a lot to play.
Enter Shane Bettenhausen, former game journalist for 1up.com and current executive at Ignition Entertainment, a publisher who's recent trend has been towards localizing japanese games for the American market. Shane was a guest on a recent 1up podcast, where he hinted that Ignition may have some announcements for E3, and that these announcements may be 360 exclusives.
The 360 really doesnt have a whole lot going on in the land of the rising sun, so it's not a big leap to think that these games (if Shane isnt just fucking with everyone) could be from the one genre the console has a lot of, shmups.
Who knows? maybe Ignition got their hands on some awesome Cave or Treasure shooters!
