    Alfa System / Arc System Works Talk Castle of Shikigami III on Wii
    Interview by Adam Riley :: Friday 14th December, 2007


    Nintendo system-owning shooter fans have been eager for more insane action goodness since the days of Ikaruga early on in the GameCube's lifespan. So far the offerings have been few and far between. Now, however, Aksys has revealed Castle of Shikigami III will be coming to the US in early 2008. Cubed3 was lucky enough to get the chance to speak with Japanese developers Alfa System and Arc System Works, via the help of Michael Manzanares at Aksys Games, to discuss the project in more detail, plus talk about the potential of a DS shooter...

    Oh yes. I can almost see her panties.

    What? Yeah, great interview, thanks for posting it up!

    It's great to see Aksys bringing the Wii version over to the US. Hopefully 505 Games will pick this up for Europe as well like it did with Hoshigami Remix on DS.

    It'd be cool to see what they could do on DS...I wonder if they'd be able to come up with something stronger than Nanostray 2, though?

    Seriously, you have to wonder why Treasure hasn't turned out a space shmup on DS yet. The market is seriously WIDE open right now! Smilie

    By the way, Alfa System is the same dev team that just completed the fantastic Tales of Innocence for Bandai Namco on DS...so clearly it's very capable of churning out stunning DS graphics!

    Wow, this looks interesting. I like the name of the game and the anime characters. Sweet. Thanks for the info, no other website (I think) has info on this game, weird...

    It's because the game has only just been confirmed for Wii in the US. The game launched in Japan last Thursday and is getting quite a quick turnaround for the US.

    Most sites haven't had chance to learn more about the project yet. I approached the developer independently as I had an interest in the game...and Aksys replied saying it was bringing it to the US and would sort the interview. Good timing with my emailing, I guess Smilie

    Oh and the character art was something I specifically asked for, which again is why other sites haven't put the shots up Smilie All part of the C3 service Smilie

    Great interview. These guys are very kind to hold Shin'en so high in quality. Shin'en put a lot of effort into their games, making them very graphics heavy. I think they do so too, since he said Wii-version was more or less the same as X360 - except resolution, which is okay.
    Ikaruga (being a port from Dreamcast!) looks very beautiful, I hope they stay graphics heavy to this game as well and maybe others realise, how great in graphics Wii is if only effort is pumped into! (weird thoughts, I hope anyone got them... *g*)
    I find your lack of faith disturbing!
