[Machine]

I already preordered it!

[waxHead]

punq, that looks awesome! I just picked up a complete Thunderforce V (for $5!) about a week ago, so I'm fiending for more shooters, esp cheap :D

while I'm talkin about cheap ones, how is Mobile Light Force 2? keep thinking about picking it up, just not sure if it's worth the $10 or so.

[punqsux]

mobile light force 2 is awesome, it was brought to the us by the same guys that are pulishing this game. if you keep an eye out for it, eb has is used for $6-coupons often

[daphatty]

I ordered it but YOU KNOW this is going to be a price mistake. NO ONE is going to get this at this price.

Let the "I'm gonna bitch if they cancel my order/don't sell it to me at this price" whining begin!

[Nirvanaguy777]

wow that looks cool, im preordering

[Strider Turbulence]

Those FULLSCREEN shots are beautiful. I'll never go back to Mobile Light Force 2 now.

[epobirs]

Looks a winner. I wonder if it will have another of their guaranteed to kill sales covers on this one, too.

Actually, I was just wondering if I should I order it or not. I still have to cancel my order of the Donkey Kongas from Media Play....

[maxflight]

mobile light force 2 wasn't that great, it lasts for like less than 2 hours.

[steveovig]

Actually, MLF2 is the prequel to Shiki 2.

[punqsux]

this is being published by XS games, most of their titles are 9.99 or 14.99 i doubt this is a wrong price

[psiufoxx]

As a point of information, Mobile Light Force 2 IS the American version of the original Castle Shikagami. It's not the best shooter in the world but worth the $10-$15 you'll pay for it.

Pre-order on the way then.

EDIT: Thanks!

so how does the original PS Mobile Light Force fit into this?

[punqsux]

mobile light force 1 is gunbird 1 (gunbird 2 came out in the states for dc)

[BigHow]

Damn, might have to drop my pre-order for this one.

[waxHead]

mobile light force 1 is gunbird 1 (gunbird 2 came out in the states for dc)

holy god, I have about ten more shooters to buy!

I just picked up Gunbird 2 for DC at TRU about two weeks ago, time for some Mobile Light Force action ;)

[maxflight]

so gunbird 2 = MLF2 or something totally different?

Actually I think media play cancelled all of those orders automatically.what ever happened to that thread anyway??

[Magician]

Nice find... Those screenshots look awesome (even though I'm not a fan of most shooters). This might be my first preorder...

Hey, you're right. I guess I should check my inbox once and awhile. Thanks.

[punqsux]

nope mlf2 is castle 1

XS did a really bad job of titling these games

The titles are a minor offense compared to the 'Charlie's Angels' cover art. The character descriptions are pretty whacky, too but those might be direct translations.

[YOUR BASE]

MLF2 is hilarious, I had to laugh at they way the story has nothing to do with the game. It says to find the murderers. It's great when it's showing the intro which has nothing to do with the name then all of a sudden MLF2 comes onto the screen. I'll definatly have to get this game, I hope they don't take tate mode out this time, that was a dumb idea to take it out of MLF2.

[BustaUppa]

Oh wow, I had no idea this MLF thing was THAT game. Wow. Honestly, I completely blew that game off just because the cover was so bad. I had no idea it was a shooter.

[Mishimaryu]

looks sweet...Ikaruga is one of my favorite shooters btw.

MLF2 review:
http://www.kidfenris.com/mlf2.html

Before ordering this, you might want to wait for a review or two to make sure the localization didn't butcher this title too.

Also of interest: the review of the "prequel" that has nothing to do with it.

http://www.kidfenris.com/mlf1.html

[maxgle]

this looks sweet and I am getting mine! thanks for the deal!

[SneakyPenguin]

Thanks dood! I'll try to pre-order in-store Friday!

[Duo_Maxwell]

I think I posted a thread about this a while ago when it came up in the ol' CAG-O-Matic, but it wasn't really a deal thread. Anyhow, I didn't see an xbox listing. I still hope they plan on publishing the xbox version here in the states. I want to put my scores up on Live and what not.

And yeah really all they had to was use this Japan Box art and slap an english title on there. Instead they release the craptastic messs that is the MLF 2 packaging. Here's what the female version of the Xbox JP cover looked like:

[Spaceboy176]

Castle Shikigami 2 is a phenomenal shooter! I have played a burned copy for the Dreamcast and was TOTALLY impressed. I would suggest that anyone who enjoys shooters should pick up this game! :D

[floormat]

a bit off topic but hey call me crazy or wouldnt the dual screen set up on the Gamboy DS be the perfect set up for games like raiden and this game ¿?

btw thanks for bringing this title to light.

[WarrenGekko]

OK. I picked it up. Let's see if this actually goes through.

[xzafixz]

Oh my god, i can't believe that XS actually had the balls to realase 2 completely different games with the same exact art. Especially when the art is so bad... maybe i'll pick up the first and see if i like it enough to get the second, and make my own cusom art or something, because i couldn't even stand that in my collection.

[ViolentLee]

This game looks a whole lot like Mars Matrix (for Dreamcast) from the screenshots, with coins instead of gold boxes. I loved that game.

[Jive3D]

I just pre purchased it at EB games. its 10 bucks in change and they said that they will have it on 11.15

[epobirs]

I've never seen MLF1 for sale anywhere but I did really like Gunbird in the arcade. (Yes, I have the Dreamcast Gunbird 2.) Even with its flaws I'd be tempted to grab MLF1 if it turned up for some throwaway price likr three bucks.

[rodeojones903]

Damn, and I paid $70 for the LE import. :D

[PaulEMoz]

Mobile Light Force 2 was/is $9.99, and as that is the prequel to Castle Shikigami 2, I don't see why that price would be a mistake. Basically, these shooters are unfortunately limited to a niche market, so selling them cheap might encourage more people to make an impulse buy. I love these games, so I'll be getting it on the day of release, without question. It was supposed to be out yesterday, but they pushed it back, to my disappointment.

[Duo_Maxwell]

Damn, and I paid $70 for the LE import. :D

Where'd you get it from? Cuz I'm pretty sure play-aisa had it for like 62 shipped. I thougth about importing it for Gamecube until I saw that XS gaes would bring it here, then I knew it was gonna be much cheaper.

[Magician]

You know, where the box art is supposed to be, doesn't the blurred picture somehow resemble Oni?

[GuilewasNK]

This looks pretty cool.

[-Never4ever-]

That is teh sequal to Mobikle Light Force 2, I believe. The screenshots are almost identical.

[Drakken]

Wait a minute!

This: http://kidfenris.com/mlf2cover.jpg

Is this?: http://kidfenris.com/mlf21.jpg

I always thought it was some stupid all-girl FPS or something. Every time I see it in stores (always for $9.99 or less), I think, "Mobile Light Force...that sounds like a shmup I've heard of," but then I look at the box art and think, "Nah....." :lol:

yes ;)

[lain21us]

I called XS games and confirmed it. 9.99, just like its prequel.

[Richter]

I called XS games and confirmed it. 9.99, just like its prequel.you ask them about the XB version?

they need to update their site, they still have it listed as coming out 3 Sept

[maxgle]

I called XS games and confirmed it. 9.99, just like its prequel.

same question as above..
so.. they are definitly goign to sell this sequel for 9.99 only??

[pimp tyranny]

gotta love the shooters

[Masterkyo]

Japanese Cover ART is ROCK but US Release Cover art is HOrrible. That's the reason why the game didn't sell well enough !!

[H the 8th]

I already have the Japanese version for DC. Not the greatest shooter I've ever played but solid nonetheless. Worth 10 if it actually comes through at that price.

[punqsux]

bump.

i know im pimping this game, but XS seems to be good at bringing these games over here. if the pre-order numbers are high that might get them a message that people enjoy their shooters and they might try to get more of them!

[pachi]

The Gamecube version is great, I got it right when it was released, sure I paid $44.00 for it, on ebay, but it was WELL WORTH it. heres xsgames website: http://xsgames.biz/
as well as there marvelous message boards: http://xsgames.biz/messageboard/

Yeah but did you read that review of MLF1 linked earlier? They butchered the Gunbird storyline and renamed a decidedly unsexy battle robot as MILF 2000.

true but the gameplay was still there, and would you rather have a poorly localized but still playable version of gunbird, or no gunbird at all?
