“Rez on Wii with the Wiimote doing the targeting and aiming could possibly beat that. And since the graphics are heavily stylized and abstract, I think the HD will benefit it less than many other titles.”

I disagree. If anything, due to the fact that Rez is mostly of vector-ish graphics, the higher resolution will make a huge difference. Look at JSRF on the Xbox, then on the 360 – *BIG* difference, even though the graphics themselves are relatively simple.

This is great. Two games I will absolutely pick up for XBLA. Rez is awesome but I no longer have my Dreamcast; and Ikaruga – I was just playing around with emulators trying to get the DC version working but it was far from perfect.

Ikaruga is my favorite shooter ever, well actually tied with Einhander.

it looks like the ‘effects’ on rez (glowy bits in the background) are using a low res version still so y’know, i don’t see it looking that much better. although the widescreen aspect looks neat.

why everibody keeps saying Radiant Silvergun is Saturn exclusive, when its available for arcades and fully playable in MAME (with some minor sound bugs). in fact, i prefer the arcade version because its less than 5MB, while the Saturn version is almost a CD ripoff (5MB x 100 )

I hope this means I’ll now be able to get a copy of Ikaruga for GameCube for less than $30!
