Review: Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury
May 10th
In ancient times, long before any of us can remember, the N64 was graced with two of the weirder titles in the entire catalogue of Treasure games. One of those was Bangai-O, a stage based shooter where you piloted a large robot capable of firing hundreds of retaliatory missiles towards anyone foolish enough to challenge it in battle. For Treasure, it also contained a surprising amount of character dialogue although plenty of it was fantastically non-sensical. The fourth release in the series, Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury has just been released on XBLA. Can revisiting the series again improve on the already celebrated formula? More >
Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury delayed until 2011
Oct 5th
Treasure’s upcoming XBLA game, Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury, has been delayed to 2011. Although the news is disappointing it’s not all bad as Treasure has given a great reason for the delay, cooperative and competitive multiplayer. I don’t know about you but I’m willing to wait a few more months if it means I can play some Bangai-O with a friend. The amount of missiles and projectiles with one player is already ridiculous enough that I can’t even imagine the insanity of having a second player in there as well.

Pax Hands On: Bangai-O HD Missile Fury
Sep 7th
When the series was birthed on the Dreamcast, Bangai-O, a different kind of shooter, became a cult darling with its Ikaruga meets Robotech game play and visual flare. When the next iteration in the series comes out as an XBLA exclusive in November for 800 MS points, fans familiar with the original have something to look forward too. Hit the jump for my impressions of the game from PAX Prime.
