If anyone has a Dreamcast set up just for Ikaruga, they are a fool and deserve no special treatment.
NFG, taking the kids to school.

I think intentional slowdown is usually achieved by pushing the hardware beyond it's limits. And yeah, I think the "you beat that boss so hard it almost broke the game" effect is a good way of describing what is nice about it.

You have seen Ikaruga on a Dreamcast-VGA monitor TATE setup, haven't you? Gamecube version is a POOR substitute, but it'll do until I get my own..
This is why I hope any XBLA version takes advantage of HD. |
I run my Dreamcast through a VGA cable into a 50" HDTV. Yeah Ikaruga looks fantastic, but there are so many other awesome games for the system that to say you have it set up only for Ikaruga would mean you are wasting a Dreamcast.

I wouldn't want to do tate on my 52" back at home...and I have no VGA cable. D:
I really should invest in one. Can one find them at say, a Best Buy? |
Go to eBay and you can get the cables for something like 15 bucks. It is very much worth it especially since using the composite cables might cause a delay in the video on an HDTV. After switching to the VGA cable I got the benefit of no perceptible lag and perfect image clarity.

When the bosses arrive it presents you with a Warning screen that says less about "poetry" and more about "you are playing a shmup." I mean, I realize the second boss is a big 'ole yin yang and all, but I don't think that excludes Ikaruga from the typical shooter cliches.

I don't know if I buy it, man. I mean throughout the entire game you're going nuts not just dodging bullets, but also trying to make sure you're not breaking your chain (my roommate likes to play a little Fleetwood Mac for me when I play), and it's makes you a little too anxious to get any sort of emotional impact beyond "hell yeah, I'm kicking ass right now."
