I heartily agree. I already have it on Gamecube, but the controler really isn't suited for... much of anything, really. And the achievements are a real incentive, although I doubt I'll ever 1CC the game. I wish I could use more 3rd party controlers, but the 360 doesn't have a bad one at all. I wouldn't play 2D fighters on it, but it's great for everything else.

wellll, I can play it on my Wii which can go online....hehe...but no, damn you. This might be the 1st XBLA game I buy unless they intend to release it on a disc with some other XBLA games in stores....this game is fricking hard!!

finally PROPER vertical shooter on xbla - trigger heart excelica was a piece of crap, and as rad as assault heroes was, it's a perverted new school twist on the genre.

but that said, even if this has added content I'll probably be holding off and sticking with my gamecube version until microsoft authorize an official x-arcade adapter. same goes for sf2 hd remix - some games just aren't meant to be played with a gamepad. especially the spongy-ass xbox 360 one.

wake the f up microsoft! why have downloadable arcade games if you can't use a decent controller to play them?

Tell me about it. I don't wanna play SF2HD remix without my trusty Genesis six-button controller.

I don't understand why everyone in the industry seems to go on and on about how awesome the 360 controller is. It's okay, but I don't know how I'm supposed to play anything 2D with it. Castlevania SOTN was painful.

Why don't you just buy the Hori Arcade stick?

maybe because, by comparison to my x-arcade stick, the hori stick is a flimsy piece of plastic crap?

I really should be able to just buy an adapter... http://www.xgaming.com/xbox-360-arcade.shtml

I don't own Ikaruga, I wasn't into stuff like that back in those days. Now I am so I'll pick it up.

Ikaruga HD, eh? Can't wait to see how huge the black bars are on a widescreen set.
