Otomedius Excellent Secretly Coming Stateside

News | May 22, 2010 10:17 am



I bet your all wondering "What japanese game does Setsuna have to talk about now". Well this time its Otomedius Excellent, a rail shooter much like Deathsmiles which was secretly annouced by Konami for the September 8th release. They claim the game is supposed to be reserable yet its not listed on gamestops website, i decided to check in the database while i was there and it turns out it is on the preorder list.

Since Konami has failed to supply us with any information about the game , i took a look at the japanese trailer and it seems we can expect something along the lines of:

4 Player Online Co-Op (I hope)
Online Versus
Special Boss Rush Mode Where you fight it out against past konami shoot em up bosses
Online Leaderboards and Game Replays






I feel as if japanese games are getting closer and closer now to complete localization, its only a matter of time. The game is marked with a 59.99 price tag , honestly the game doesnt look like a $60 game however if you want to support more localization of japanese games and you have the money to spare i say pick it up on its release in hopes that more games will come stateside, if you dont want to just wait a SIGNIFICANT price drop (maybe $20 is more fitting)

Otomedius Excellent, as far as i know, its coming out unless Konami or anyone else says otherwise.

You know I do love it when obscure jap games come stateside as there are usually a few great hits, EX: Agarest, P3, etc. Honestly not a fan of rail shooters but still nice to see them taking chances with games like these hopefully there will be more to come(Im looking at you A.C.E).

shmups are never worth a 50-60 dollar price tag. especially one that looks this lackluster.

You guys are confusing me with the use of two different terms.

As I understand it, Rail shooters are like House of the Dead, ie your character is on rails, and are usually in first-person.
Shmups are scrolling shooters where you can move your character/ship/whatever around.

I'm not saying anyone is wrong or that this is the definitive way, I'm just saying that's how I know it, and I want to know which one Otomedius Excellent is!

Either way, I'm interested to try it out! Just probably not for $60.

And I can't wait to try Deathsmiles, too.
