Omega Five Unlockable character revealed, new screens have a doggie in them  photo

You kids today with your hi-tech weaponry. Take a look at this hidden unlockable character from Omega Five. They call him Sensei, and he's the oldest and wisest of the game's band of good guys. Back in his day, you didn't need lasers and spreadshots to defeat aliens, all you needed was your trusty katana and your beloved mutt.

Sensei's weapon set consists of nothing more than a sword, shuriken, some knives, and maybe a bomb or two. He's such a badass, in fact, that his swordsmanship skills can even destroy some enemies' fire. However, even the hardened heart of the galaxy's greatest warrior has a soft spot for puppies, and that's where Rikimaru comes in. Always at his master's side, Rikimaru is Sensei's dog, and aids him in his alternate attacks by leaping toward an enemy to place targets on its weak point, which Sensei then nails with projectiles. 

He's a hardcore old-schooler with a knack for kicking massive amounts of ass, and a dog lover to boot. Sensei sounds like my kind of guy. You can look forward to unlocking this man among men when Omega Five becomes available on XBLA later this month. Until then, check out some of these new screenshots to see him and his canine in action.

He looks pretty bad-ass. And so does his dog.

@Quisling- Totally. He looks like he just came from eating corn flakes and reading the paper when they called him in to fight.

"Psh, you brats call this an invasion? C'mon, doggie, let's go show these kids how to destroy some shit. Maybe we can get back before wheel of fortune comes on."

So an old Japanese man flies in the air and space through some unknown means with his pet dog and blows up alien robots? Epic, truly epic. I am so down for this game.

All I can say is that you gotta give credit for the Japanese for having some wacky sense of design. You got a sensei, who has an guard dog that barks out "arf! arf!" as it attacks. And you got an alien whose main weapon looks like a giant phallic gun coming out of what seems like his pants, and splurts out, well, silvery liquid. This game is way too much fun. Here's hoping it's still on track for Nov release!

Oh man. When I heard Rikimaru I thought it was Tenchu.

Yeah, there's a video with the yapping dog in it. I'll post it later tonight so you guys can see, it's pretty funny.

The dog's bandana should have powers.

This game just gets more bad-ass by the second.

Leave it to the old team Hudson Soft to bring out a gem like this one. Curious if there's a bit of easter eggs. Because shmups = love

I wish they'd put this stuff out on PC. I don't want to get a 360 just for XBLA games...

Looking good, what's the price on this? I'd hope it's as cheap as all of the quality shooters you can get on VC.

800 points, Necros. Which is something like ten bucks in real money.
