I'm happy with thinking pokepal148 is just eating a stick of butter. It seems about right for him. I don't need no stinking facts.

No, these controls are great. The game Heatseeker that nobody but me bought used very similar controls as one of the options and it worked really well.

Is Heatseeker worth $10? I saw it and almost bought it.

I would say it's definitely worth $10, but I thought Alien Syndrome, a game NWR gave a 3.5, was worth $50 so I don't know if you should use me as a judge of that.

The last NWR screen lists it as "VERY alternative reality aircraft fill the skies".  The plane in the screenshot is actual a KyÅ«shÅ« J7W1 Shinden, a Japanese WWII fighter plane. Two prototypes were built but the war ended before more planes could be built.  Although the plane looks pretty strange, I don't really "alternative reality" is a good description since it actually was built and flown.

Oh dear, when the game actually comes out I might have to rely on you for knowing what's real and what isn't. Thanks for the tip! (And take another look at the description ^_^)

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

I'm not an airplane expert or anything, I just happened to have seen that particular plane somewhere else and recognized it because it is so distinctive-looking.

New video
 It seems the cutscenes have been given an anime look. It looks nice.

Why do I feel like this game is going to include stupid anime super powers.

Ugh.....There's this arcade flight sim that moves the chair as your flying and doing insane stunts. That's all I want. I don't need the chair, just give me the game.

It's not a flight sim.

Also, that video doesn't work.

So this is getting a NA release thanks to XSeed. They are becoming one of my favorite Publishers.

Xseed worries me, I'm afraid that while I appreciate what they are doing they aren't going to make money and go the way of Eidios's Fresh Games Label which picked up more Japanese centric games as well.

That is an interesting point GP but I think if we support them they will do fine.

Off the top of my head they are bringing Fragile,Sky Crawlers and Muramasa:The Demon Blade.Those are pretty good games from what I can tell.

Yeah I know they are good games but they need to sell, Xseed is pretty new and I am curious if any of their games have sold decently.

I think Fragile and Muramasa sold well in Japan. I don't think Sky Crawlers is out there yet.

I am talking about games Xseed has published for the U.S. How have they sold? I know Retro Game Challenge bombed

This game worries me. At first I thought it looked and sounded interesting, and then I saw all the videos of "Press A to win!" and it looks so bloody repetitive and absolutely without any semblance of skill at all.
