I think it might be a nostalgia thing, as with it being a game I played in the arcade many a time.......having it on a home console is just a bit mystical to me.
Never the less, it is freakin awesome anyway, the frenetic but not too over whelming bullet hell, the whole bullet soak in/deflect mechanic is so much fun and I love the sound design of the game as well, adds a lot.
Glad you like those 2 covers, let me know if you want anything else I have (check my thread linked in my signature down below)
