Where are the side-scrollers for X-box?

[Jeremy Anderson]

I'm a big fan of the 'Box... but I miss having an old-school side-scrolling shooter to play. When are we gonna' get something like Gradius or R-Type for the 'Box? This is my biggest complaint about the game selection so far. The closest they've come is Hunter: The Reckoning, but I want a good ole' scrolling spacecraft shoot'em'up, dammit!

Sorry... just ranting.

5 seconds after never?

I seriously don't think there is a chance... I just don't think it would sell well in todays gaming market (where 1 title eats up all the sales and only the strong survive).

You are better off with GBA or NES

Yes it is. That looks pretty interesting. First I've seen of it.

I'd go for a Dreamcast or Gamecube with Ikaruga.

I'd get a Saturn or a PS2(for the PS1 games and the upcoming Gradius and R-type). If you get a Gamecube, Ikaruga is about all you'll have, and it's not nearly enough. You could also get a Dreamcast and play:

Ikaruga(great)
Zero Gunner 2(decent)
Mars Matrix(very good)
Giga Wing 2(very good)
Giga Wing(decent)
Bangai-O(best to be had anywhere)
Gunbird 2(crappy)
