Ikaruga coming to Xbox Live, other shmups follow

This article is over 17 years old and may contain outdated information

The Ikaruga rumor is confirmed! Microsoft announced it is coming to Xbox Live “soon” along with Trigger Heart Exelica (sometime this year) and Omega Five (this November). Also there is Castle no Shikigami 3, which is getting a full retail release from Arc System Works. Point blank shmups are coming in droves to the Xbox 360. To be fair some of these are ports and others have not been confirmed for North America. The line up is quite strong though and more importantly the door is wide open for companies like Treasure to develop new games after testing the waters with their classics.
