--- Quote from: satoshi_matrix on April 06, 2009, 07:13:30 PM ---Yes, import both games. Keep in mind that Shikigami no Shiro 1 is a much shorter game than Shikigami no Shiro 2. I recommend picking up the japanese copies of course, but if you can find it do check out the American version of 2, "Castle of Shikigami 2" for PS2. Its subpar translation is great as a drinking game; everytime a character says something that MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE, take a sip. You'll be drunk by the second stage! --- End quote --- sorry i seem to be hijacking this thread. was looking at the JP versions of XBox Shikigami. There also seems to be a Shikigami No Shiro Evolution. Is this a better/different version to either 1 or 2, or an entirely new game? |

Oh yeah, sorry I forgot about that. Shikigami no Shiro Evolution is a Japanese only Xbox exclusive remake of the first game, which also got ported to the Xbox prior to Evolution's release. Evolution features new and improved enemy AI, a few new playable characters, and the new Evo.Mode game mode that remixes some of the stages. If you've got a TV that can support true shmup aspect ratio, it also includes a vertical mode. Other than that, it comes in a very attractive package where the kanji, 式神の城 shows up in really cool shiny letters (the kind a scanner would ruin if one tried to make a scan of). It also has a mini artbook the size of the manual which is really cool. Still, Evolution is just a enhanced version of the original. The sequel is longer and more fun to play. |

Theres also the Gradius Collection and Salamander (LifeForce) Portable Collection on PSP if anyone needs shmups on the go ;) |
| satoshi_matrix:
Add to that the Parodius Portable PSP collection. |

I got a few shooters for pretty cheap. Raiden 3, Castle Shikigami 2, and R-Type Final all for $25. Shikigami is really fun, but my PS3 doesn't have full-BC support so will hang at some points. |
