Thank you for making Omega 5 so stunningly gorgeous. It's good to see developers still taking the shmup genre seriously, especially on a platform as accessible as the XBLA. We realize it's a bit of a risk developing a game that would be more at home on the consoles of a decade ago, and we applaud your ability to ignore trends and instead carve your own route into the great silicon wilderness.
Kisses, Destructoid

Looks like a next-gen (sorry Will Wright Forgotten Worlds. Sadly, this is the only game that has me enticed to buy a 360 right now, though Senko No Ronde seems "neat".
BTW, did Castle Crashers ever get released on Live Arcade?
This looks sweet. I love shmups despite the fact I generally suck ass at them purely for the nostalgia kick I get when playing them. I'm already prepared to say goodbye to some more MS points already... sigh.
My pants are tight. There seems to be a lot of that in this thread. It must be en epidemic. Apparently exposure to this trailer causes swelling in the genitalia.
I still don't have a 360 (waiting for the "safe" 65nm set so I'm not wasting my money) but I'll be blowing a fuckton of cash on Arcade when I get it, and this just got thrown on the pile.
If only they would release these games on Windows so I didn't need the extra hardware...

Er, to clarify, you want lot #0734 or higher. Mine is is #0735 and was manufactured at the beginning of September, and any 360 manufactured after about August 25th is a Falcon.

totally picking this shit up.

Sadly no. Probably not till next year.
From the sounds in the beginning, this game counts as additional pylons.

The holiday bundles have the "safe" 65nm chipset.
