Someone needs to do some reading on Resident Evil 5 or spend some time in the south. :p
Five dollars for the game is a steal. Well, for everyone but Gamerscore whores. I'll never sniff completion, but it's nice to live vicariously through others thanks to the downloadable replays.

Poor Excellica's going to be ignored for a while again.

Punished because you've gotten 1.5 years of play time out of a game?
Welcome to the reality of economy and LAGS, I guess?
You bold your "one and a half" years statement when it's the very thing that invalidates your whine. I'd be annoyed if MS did a price drop on something a month after it comes out. 1.5 years, and then running a temporary sale where it's going to go back to the regular price is an acceptable way to generate interest in the title again.
As far as your concerned, damned if they do, damned if they don't.

This is the kind of game that should have been cheaper early on because the people most likely to have bought it have already owned it before.

psst let me let you in on a little secret
games are more expensive when they first come out, as opposed to later
you're pissed about having paid more for it when it first came out?
Go look up the going price of the gamecube version right now. Or the Dreamcast. And imagine those prices before your XBLA version came out.
Suck it.

It's the only version I can play. :(
Man, XBLA sounds like such a blessing.

I hate this game more than Yaris, for what it's worth.

I never paid much attention outside Touhou, though I got to play Death Smiles at the anime store in Rochester.
Also, as a complete aside, with the ability to edit, I could change my first post to refer to a different genre than danmaku.
"I'm guessing this is more turn-based RPG than regular shooter" -> "This game defines that genre"

Silvergun is an above average shooter but as Treasure says, it has NOT stood the test of time.

I'm willing to agree with you if you can cite a shooter that you believe is above average.

Mars Matrix and Psyvariar II fit my definiton of "above average" shooter. Im also partial to Gigawing.
Lets put this in perspective. Bangai-O has stood the test of time better than Radiant has. So you already have a great Treasure shooter that has seen re-release.

If you released Radiant as it was 10 odd years ago itd be on par with the other 600 shooters on XBLA. Ikaruga had an interesting color mechanic that makes that game. Radiant is just a shooter. A rare one but thats all. I think thats what Treasure sees also. Even Bangai-O has an interesting game mechanic. Radiant is just a shooter and, aside from helping all those poor sods getting hoodwinked on ebay into buying this overpriced import, it wouldnt bring much to the table or to XBLA.

The 6 weapons, all upgraded over time... it's like kicking some new ass each time you load it up. I have yet to find a shooter that I have played as much and I owe most of that to the weapons system.
But back to the port, this is one I don't want a half assed recycled release (I'm looking at you Super Puzzle Fighter) where some shit is redrawn and the rest is the same.
Do It! And Do It Right Treasure!

This is a subjective thing. Any game you inherently like is going to be "highly replayable" in your eyes. But the truth of the matter is if you release this game on XBLA itll attract 2 types of people. The people who have heard the hype but have either had the foresight not to plunk down a c note for a decade old shooter, OR the people who have had the luck to be unable to follow through with their misguided attempt to plunk down a c note for a decade old shooter. Both camps will look at this game and say the same thing. Whats all the hype?
