Will Shiro 2 get a PAL release ?

[VR46]

Either on PS2 or Cube ? couldn't find anything anywhere saying it would but in the light of Ikaruga's success (no pun intended) prehaps the previously unthinkable would happen ?

Any body seen any news/rumours.

Pretty certain (like 90% of shmups - a made up stat, ladies and gents) that it won't get released over here.
Bite the bullet and buy import, since it's seems the only way if you're a shmup fan.

Really have no idea how Ikaruga got a western release.
Though the words 'Treasure' and 'internet hype' most probably had something to do with it.
Oh... and it's an okay game ;p

Did the first game get a PAL release?
If you're impatient, the JPN PS2 version is only around $40 if you look around.

Yes... as Mobile Light Force 2

I just can't wait to see the box art for Mobile Light Force 3.

Please will someone with greater photoshop skills than I knock one up for a laugh...go on i'll buy you a pint.

They actually managed to make the artwork for Mobile Light Force 1 even worse by using the MLF2 cover and resizing it without maintaining the aspect ratio so it looks all squashed.

BTW if anyone's interested MLF1 (aka Gunbird) and MLF2 (aka Shiki 1) are available cheaply in seemingly plentiful supply in most Asda stores.

Fingers crossed then for MLF3 they decide to vertically stretch it to fit a DVD case and make the Charlies Angels on the front cover look like anorexic models.
