Finallybeing the operative word there. According to our friend Postman over atShoot The Core,Ikarugais finally ready to make its way to Xbox Live Arcade on April 9th, 2008. Turns out the April issue of UK Xbox magazine has been sporting an “Available now” graphic with their info on the game, and this is backed up by theIkarugaproduct details pageon the Japanese Xbox web site.
Are we looking at a worldwide release? They’d be stupid not to do just that. Shmup fans have been clamoring for this game ever since it wasannounced, and I’ve beenat the frontof the line. From the looks of things, the wait is just about over. It’s about f*cking time.
