I'll just cut and paste what I said in a different thread -

Elevator Action Returns (also know as Elevator Action II) is a VERY awesome game... I'm very psyched I sold my Saturn copy at a premium now, and will definitely pick this up at launch just for that one game. It is an extremely good action game that was one of my favorite games on the Saturn.

Only the first level is themed like Elevator Action... other levels have you going through a Plane Hangar and some other locales. The graphics and animation are top notch too.

Especially if it's bargain priced, I'll be there.

LOTS OF PICTURES!!!

This is worth money for Elevator Action Returns alone, everything else is just a nice bonus.

The article I read just said 2nd quarter, so anytime between now and the end of June.

I posted this in the Shmup thread in the General forum as well. This compilation is a STEAL at $20. There are games on that list that I would pay $20 each for.

ebgames. has it released on 5/7/07

Gamespot.com also says May 7th. Definitely picking this up after glancing at the sheer number of great shmups on this.

No rayforce? :(

But I will pick it up for g-darius.

According to taitolegends2.com, it does have Rayforce.

I didn't realize the sheer quantity of good games on this until yesterday, so I'm also excited about this. I'll pick it up on day 1. I've wanted to play shit like G Darius since 1998 when it hit the PS1.

It says for the xbox and pc version. :(

Glad a publisher finally came through for a U.S release.

I know i want it for the legend of kage among others.

GameStop can't seem to to pre-orders on this one because it's not Madden 08.

What a bunch of bullshit, a game that's actually going to be limited release and you should want to pre-order to gauge interest, and they can't even do it. What a joke.
