"Otherwise, it sounds like it's the same Guardian Heroes, with its 40-plus fighters, you remember from the mid-90s. And that's a good thing."
...Nick, you must be thinking of another game. Guardian Heroes had 4 players, plus that walking golden armor thing. I just played it recently.

YES! I've been wanting to play this for a while and finally SEGA are shaping up with some Saturn games! Now how about Panzer Dragoon Saga?
I'd prefer this on the PS3 though since I like the D-Pad better but I'm buying this no matter what.

Wasn't there a competitive mode where you could play as all the enemy characters? Thats probably what theyre referencing.

Pardon the triple post, but it has 8 playable characters, with four more unlockables. http://www.gamefaqs.com/saturn/573960-guardian-heroes/cheats
OHHHHHHHH DIP
One of my favorite games of ever-ever-land. Goddamn, nobody does it up, past, present or future, quite like Treasure. They gave us Ikaruga on XBLA, they just gave us Bangai-O! yesterday...and now this.
I smell the imminent release of Radiant-Mother-Fucking-Silvergun.

I LOVED Guardian Heroes! There's a whole treasure trove of Saturn games just begging to be released on XBLA, and I hate having to dig out my Saturn every time I want to play some Fighters Megamix, Shining Wisdom, or Albert Odessey.
Safe to assume this will have 6 player online battle mode? This was the only game I ever used that controller hub for.
And just the other day I really wanted to try this game out... Not that that's changed. I am looking forward to this game!
@Esveryday Legend now all we need is some Mischief Makers, which holy crap do the Guardian Heroes dialogue pictures look similar to.
As much as I want to love this news, being such a fan of the original, I've got a feeling that someone is going to screw something up with this... The controls had better be spot on and the character designs had best stick to their original proportions.
If they end up pulling a Turtles in Time with this and go 3D instead of 2D that would be the biggest killjoy right there, HD graphics/live co-op or no.
I really do hope they manage to get this right.

This made my day!!! Hopefully Dragon Force (the Saturn game, not the band) is next in line! I'm all about getting some of those awesome Sega Saturn games ported over :D
HOLY CRAP!! so many good memories of playing this with my brother! enough of the crappy Saturn compilations, bring on this and Die Hard Arcade booyeee!!!
I know. Man, I love few developers more than I do Treasure. Every damn game they make fits their moniker to a T, no pun intended.
Seriously, I want them to make sequels to a lot of their old-school games, because I've seen more current relevance from their titles in the past than I do a lot of other houses' current offerings. Castle Crashers, for as much as it evokes the feeling of TMNT arcade, still owes most of its gameplay nods to Guardian Heroes. Just about every Metal Slug game owes its existence to Gunstar Heroes. Every bullethell shooter got its comeuppance with Silvergun, and then doubly-so with Ikaruga.
They are masters of the craft, plain and simple.

Ok, so I have to ask. Does anyone know why we see these released on xbla and not psn. All jokes aside about psn s current state, 360 ownership in Japan is pretty low. Is it that development costs are that much lower for 360 or that they're trying to get more sales in other markets that have much smaller "classic used game" markets? I know most Japanese game devs are small...so it seems like they'd go to whichever system costs them the least to get their game out....or am I missing something else altogether?
@ginjopa
Maybe it's as simple as Microsoft being the company that is interested in having these games on their digital service.

@HEL105
True, although I doubt Sony is adverse to releasing these games, they don't seem willing to go out of their way to secure them either. Also, I just remembered that digital content doesn't sell as well in Japan as other areas of the world and the 360 has a slightly larger presence outside of Japan too. Numbers seem to explain it pretty well after seeing all the pieces. Regardless, I can hardly wait, we just need an announce date for Radiant Silvergun as well...

HEL105 is spot-on. Microsoft wants it, that's why.
Why do you think Sony wanted Castle Crashers AFTER it made Microsoft a fuckton of money? Sony's about sure bets, Microsoft's about gambles. This is why we see Kinect, games like Deathsmiles, and downloadable titles like Guardian Heroes, Nin2-Jump, Trigger Heart Excelica, and others.

I knew that, just forgot to mention it (and outside of Silvergun, probably my Treasure fan favorite, which makes it embarrassing not to have mentioned it in the first place).
Damn, why do Treasure's games always have to be XBLA exclusives. Seriously, I might have to buy my 4th 360 and hope it decides to work long enough when this and radiant silvergun come out for it.
TREASURE I LOVE YOU SO HARD
After buying the shit out of Bangai-O HD yesterday, I wondered, as I met my death a thousand times over at the hands of more missiles than I could count, "What will Treasure do next?"

Dude, send a friend request to the Dtoid name on XBL, just as it's written here.
I'm ADD as a motherfucker, I won't remember to do that shit.
Hell, I haven't even checked my cblog post about mvc3 yet. Damn pregnancy making me have to build cribs and shit. :o)

Bangai-O, Raidant Silvergun, and Guardian Heroes? Too awesome. You're about to give 360 owners a minor heart attack.
But hey, if you could, a port for the PS3 owners (and future Wii2 owners) would be great... because really, these three games should be on just about every console that can run them.

Ah, alright, my bad.
Looking forward to this, hope Treasure decides to publish this and the Radiant Silvergun HD remake on Steam as well. XBLA is losing....STEAM. BUD-UM-BUM-TCH.

I can hardly wait to see if someone makes it to the top of the multi-player leader-boards (should they see fit to grace the remastered and updater edition of Guardian Heroes with one as they ought to know that they should)with a female villager, winning by dropping hordes of gods, robots and sword-swinging super men by slapping the lot of them silly.
