Find out the Japanese release date and publisher.  

Infogrames Japan has announced they will be publishing Treasure’s Ikaruga.  The port will include all the features of the Dreamcast version including exclusive GameCube features.  The GameCube port will be developed under the Atari brand scheduled for completion in January of 2003 in Japan.  

Ikaruga, which was released in late 2001 in Japan, is a vertical shooter well received by arcade shooting fans.  Depending on the type of enemies and situations, players can transform their vehicle from white to black or vice versa.  For example, white projectiles will fly through your vehicle when you are white, and when dark projectiles get fired at you, you can switch to black to avoid them.  

Ikaruga will be first released for the Dreamcast in September in Japan.  Visit Treasures website for more information on the game.
