Wish that you could play classic Treasure shooter Radiant Silvergun on Xbox Live Arcade? Looks like Microsoft wishes you could too.
In an interview with Gamasutra , Treasure CEO Masato Maegawa said that Microsoft has requested Radiant Silvergun for XBLA. But unfortunately for shmup fans everywhere, he says it's not as easy as simply dropping it on the service.
"Microsoft actually asked us if we could put it out," he says. "We're thinking about it, certainly, but it's not as simple as just saying 'OK, let's put it up.' I mean, sure, with Ikaruga , we released it as-is without having to do or add a great deal to the game, and it was popular and well accepted for what it was."
