I voted it up yesterday, hypeee

this is the 360 version, right? wasn't that pretty bare-bones compared to the GC release? i've owned that version since release, but if it winds up on steam i'll probably wind up buying it just for the hell of it.

From the greenlight page it says they're porting the 360 version and adding new features (like the dual ship controls).

Missed trying it on DC. Missed it on Gamecube. Played it on friend's 360 because I don't own one (why are all the Japanese SHMUPs on 360?). And no Android device here so I can't play that port either, which I would hope has controller support.

Suffice to say, I voted it up because I want a legit copy. Game was pretty dope with the couple hours I spent with it years ago, and my monitor can rotate into a portrait position.

+1'd this the other day too. Please upvote for us fans, even if you don't care about the game.

I feel like I'm missing the point of Greenlight if a game that has been out for a decade and published on several systems is eligible

Same boat, though I wouldn't complain about getting to play it on PC, it's a great game.
