ZOMG!: Ikaruga AND Radiant Silvergun?
Recently, Treasure Co. Ltd. finally gave us confirmation of the long standing rumor that Ikaruga was bound for XBLA. Pretty good news.
Now, 1UP got some face time with Masato Maegawa (President of Treasure) and he has added that the Ikaruga team is hard at work and are "adding worldwide rankings, online co-op play, and the ability to share movies of your best play sessions." Amazing news.
Then, after some prodding about bringing Radiant Silvergun (Ikaruga's Saturn-based predecessor) to XBLA he mentioned that "it's something they've definitely been thinking about doing, perhaps after Ikaruga is finished." Faint-worthy news.
Oh and in case that wasn't enough, Treasure still has plans for a full blown 3rd game in the series but it is under delays while they try to push out Ikaruga.
Anyway you shake it, shmup fans can find a comfortable home on XBLA.

I want everything Treasure is making right now.
A Wii game from the Gunstar/Guardian Heroes team? I am so there. (Gunstar Super Heroes for the GBA is one of my favorite games of all time)
Bangai-O for the DS? I never played the original, but I hear it was fantastic. Perhaps it'll stay in my DS as long as Gunstar Super Heroes has (almost 2 years without having been removed once)
All (potentially) 3 of their XBLA games and a console game for the 360? Totally there. (Oh, and their plan wasn't a 3rd game in the 'series,' but they are possibly going to do another - possibly brand new - XBLA game)
