Time to pull out your party hats, shmup fans! Word has it that Omega 5 will finally hit Live Arcade on January 9 after apparently being finished for some time now.
Unfamiliar with Hudson's latest venture into XBLA? The above video (done by our very own Greybush), should answer any questions you might have.
Since the official press release hasn't been sent out yet, there's really not much more to say on the matter. Omega 5 will be here next Wednesday, it looks stunning for a Live Arcade game, and it'll most likely cost 800 Microsoft Points.
Are you guys ready to get your pew pew pew on?

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Good. Space Harrier was the shit!
I need people to play this game with me, dammit. Both of them.
But, alas, dumb flying people = no sale.
Snail: where were you on Saturday?
I'd try to raise hopes with optimistic speech of a patch or something, but... *looks at Sonic 2, /sigh*
YEAH!
Granted maybe I'm just exhausted and ready to go home from work...nah it's his voice.
Wartech gets enough praise from Dtoid. (It deserves all of the praise too, I love that game. I bought it for 60, played the hell out of it, traded it in for 30, and recently picked it up again for 5.99. win!)
it will be tough to top Forgotten Worlds !!!!
Also one more time, NBA Jam TE and Killer Instinct need to be released already. I will buy both of them on day one.
the video i download on my 360 said 'Local Co-op'
nothing about online
that will probably be the one thing that holds me back from getting this.
Nonsense.
It's not that far off from Contra, yet Contra is beloved, but its still two partners all buffed out and cheesy looking.
where's my Alien Soldier?!
The Genesis game(or rather Mega Drive, since it never hit the US)? It came out on Virtual Console at the end of November...
Other than that, neat game. I adore these kind of games, although i suck so badly at them.
