Sisters Royale (new shmup from Alfa System, of Shiki fame) now confirmed for a western release early next year. Naturally it comes just after I pre-ordered the Japanese version. Not sure if we're getting a physical as well as a digital release though, so maybe I'll keep the order.

Remember a company called Qute? And that they had a shooter in development ever since...uuuuhmm...years? Well, their Twitter account sprang to life with the news that said shooter, Natsuki Chronicles, is available for preorder on the X Box One. Release will be on Christmas day, the price seems a bit too high though...
"Shoot 'em up" evolve to a new level... Dramatic side-scrolling shoot 'em up! You play as Natsuki, and carry out the missions! Do you believe her past or future?

I like that the "Official Site" for Qute linked from that MS page is actually for a Health tech company
Hoping a physical release materialises, as I'm not particularly excited by that digital price.

I'm about 5 hours into a playthrough of the original right now. I'm actually really impressed by what was done with the cutscenes given the limited technology they were working with.

Namco always had a love/hate relationship with Xenosaga. Probably it didn't help that the director wasn't particularly good in managing finances and had incredibly lofty goals for the Xenosaga series. For example: the intro to Xenosaga I? That should have been its own 40+ hours game.
Then Namco tried their best to screw up the series, like completely changing the character design for Episode II because "anime style doesn't sell well enough". In fact, I'm even surprise they squeezed out Ep. III at all.
[edit] And Ep.III IIRC was my first First Play thread on NTSC-UK. Ah, good memories.

Out of interest, which part do you mean by "the intro"? The bit on the battleship at the start?
