The Xbox 360 is quickly becoming the console of choice for shooting games with a spate of exclusives (for now) that haven't been ported to other platforms thus far. Want to play Raiden IV or Death Smiles at home without a coin-op cab? Xbox 360 is your ticket to ride.The latest shooter to be announced is DoDonPachi Daioujou Black Label Extra which is a vertical shooter that features glossy visuals, a host of new modes such as the Racing Mode, and a Replay function so you can view your performance after a stage has been conquered.
A distinguishing factor of the DoDonPachi games has always been the streams of bullets which emanate from enemies. Basically, the streams of bullets serve as moving mazes which gamers have to twitch through in order to survive. Enemy bullets radiate in spray patterns, in direct streams, and even in radiating blooms which criss-cross the path of other bullets for cramped and tricky situations. As a bonus for fans of the series, Cave includes the original version of DoDonPachi Daioujou (which has heretofore only been released for the PS2) on the DVD. Preorders are welcome to ship on December 25, 2008 at JPY6800 or US$65.90 from NCS

This is one of two major shmups we're waiting for. The other is Ketsui. Of course having the ps2 version of Dodonpachi DJ is a nice bonus.
