Not a bad score for Bullet Witch, 72.5 is actually pretty good with how tough they score some XBOX games. I was really hoping they would have some news about the game that Treasure is working on for the 360.

Treasure is always so damned tight lipped.


Probably because these days whenever they announce a "next-gen" game everyone goes "ZOMG RADIANTR SIVLERGUN 3ZORZ!!!!"

Not a bad score for Bulletwitch, now it just needs to get stateside. :)

I thought the game looked pretty sweet from the videos I saw.

Indeed! Bullet Witch looks and sounds AWESOME! I imagine it'll be over here Q1-Q2 2007. Though YANKEE gets it before all of us, because he's a ho. :E

Atari announced today that they would be bringing it to the US. Supposedly it is doing really well for an XBOX360 in Japan. We will have to wait for next weeks sales figures but supposedly it is sold out of a lot of stores.

Senko no Ronde sold out almost everywhere...


And they aren't making any more pressings... :X


What the hell is wrong with G.Rev?
"Hey guys, we'll make two pressings of these 2 Dreamcast games released LOOOOOONG after its death, but that current-gen console? Eh... one pressing will be fine."


I think G.Rev just likes making rare games.
