Long rumored, and even leaked, this week’s huge Live Arcade release is now officially Treasure’s fan favorite shooter Ikaruga. Despite the fact that the official xbox.com page still states “TBA,” Treasure’s website has been updated with the game’s release date, and if the developers are not to be trusted, who is? The screen scrolling shoot ‘em up that made it’s original debut in the days of the Dreamcast is designed around avoiding geometric patterns of bullets while shooting enemies. Ikaruga changes things up by adding the capability to change your ship’s polarity to become invulnerable to certain bullet types. This looks to be the next really big game on the XBLA horizon, we just have to hope that the netcode holds up to the craziness that is Xbox Live.
