The official Strike Witches shooting game planned for the Xbox 360, Strike Witches – Shirogane no Tsubasa (Silver Wings), has finally been detailed, with plenty of 3D pantsu well in evidence.
Superb graphics (assuming this were a PS2 game).
The actual shape of the game is an arcade mode with free character selection and a fully voiced story mode with set characters; in each case the witches operate in a team of 3, with a leader and two in support. Xbox Live features are mentioned, but it is not clear whether this is just a leader-board or includes actual coop.
Release is sometime in 2010, presumably to coincide with the anime in some fashion.
The limited edition (coming with the sukumizu Yoshika Nendoroid available nowhere else) comes in at a jaw-dropping ¥11,529 ($120+), the normal edition being some ¥7,000… Apparently all that money will be going on the seiyuu bill, as it certainly doesn’t seem to have gone on the graphics.
Those wishing for some immediate Strike Witchery can tide themselves over with the free doujin game already released.

This is CRAP and you know it.
The only good shooters are in FIRST PERSON. Halo 3 FTW
If you're going to attempt to troll, could you at least put some more effort into it? You know, make the trolling a bit less obvious. People can't respond to you seriously if it's too obvious, and it's no fun if people don't take it seriously.
So far this looks god awful calling this ps2 equivalent is being fair because in the later years devs learned how to make the most of it and make relatively okay looking games... this THING reminds me of my days playing 64. It was loads of fun but that's in the past and that game won't pave anything good in the future looking the way it is now lmfao
It kinda looks like Acceleration of Suguri.
In any case and if they don't end up fucking it up big time, it must be a hundred thousand times better than that fucktarded Heavy Rain über-casual suckfest, "kewl gr4ph1c5" or not. And who knows, maybe it'll turn out to be better than PC's and PS3's Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer.
Just about any other game out there plays better than Heavy Rain, since Heavy Rain isn't really a game. It's more like a real-time 3D visual novel with QTEs, relying more on its graphics and story (how very post-modern). As for Soldner-X, it's a crappy euro-shmup. Gulti won't have much trouble making a better game than that.
Call of Duty: Strike Witches. That would own!
SANYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!
Must buy game for my X-360 :3
You just know they're going to make a better version of this game for the PS3 though
By the looks of it they've completely missed the mark. From what little I've seen of Strike Witches, a more appropriate game type would be, like shiroki said, Ace Combat style. And since they use guns, I'd say shooter controls would suit it just fine.
Wait, what is with the title?
The 360 isn't in any marketing danger (that would be the PS3).
The perspective should be from behind the girls not from the side :)
Sanya on my Xbox... if only I could read Japanese better I'd import the game and a Japanese system just for this. OR! I could buy the limited edition blue-ray Strike Witches box set for $300... so many choices
if I recall,they are going to release a PS2 shooter game of Strike Witches in May
You wanna save the XBox 360..? Then start bloody making loli games and release them to the world...
I guarantee a high spike in profits...That is, if you can get past EN, UNICEF and other haters...
Well, Agarest Senkai is being released worldwide, along with Death Smiles. Death Smiles has the loli content, not sure about Agarest.
Good. But can it save X Box?
When are they going to release a Strike Witches game that plays like Ace Combat?
The screen caps are too small to actually make out any details, so I'll just wait until I see better caps before buying the "bad graphics" argument.
Also, being as popular as these kind of shooter games are in Japan [unless it's an exclusive phenomenon of Touhou] I expect it to do well, for an X360 game, that is.
I haven't seen any Cave STG (or hell, even all of them summed up) amass such an amount of fanart as Touhou does on Pixiv, so yeah, I guess it must be an exclusive pehnomenon.
And yeah, compared to the lushness of Mushihime-sama Futari's visuals, or Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer level of detail, this game comes out as rather drab and bland. Take it down to 480p and it could even be a NAOMI game.
The reason Touhou is more popular is because : they're PC games, they're cheap, all the characters are lolis, have a very distinct/recognizable/consistent visual and musical style, have a strong focus on story, and get attention because they're created entirely by just one person.
Cave games on the other hand : only their older games have been emulated, not all of their games have lolis, only people who go to arcades or own arcade cabinets or the specific consoles their games are ported to can play their more recent games, their games tend to cost much more than the average Touhou release (especially for those who collect the arcade boards), their games are developed by a group of people which doesn't attract as much attention as just one person, their games don't always follow a specific style from one to the next.
So basically, it all comes down to : accessibility, cost, and consistent style/characters/story.
The Perrine and Eila images are enough to put me in awe..
What's Mahoro doing on that last image?
holy crap, i didn't even notice her. Maybe she's a secret character.
It's plugging an artbook by the character designer. No relation.
360 cannot be saved.they are just delaying the end
Your comment kinda reminds me of the appeasement policy during WW2 or something..
Is that stockings on the head of that black figure in the first picture?
Lucchini stole Perrine's precious thing again..
That is Yoshika you philistine.
Yea.. my bad. Got mixed up since both are panties loli thieves.
aaah if only the hacked 360 could play region locked games like the ps2 do i.i
i thought it could
jtagged xbox could.
Will one good game help to save one wretched console?
Japanese X-Box 360, isn't that kinda pointless though?
doubt that xbox260 will be saved.
It was never alive in the first place.
Indeed.
Reviving a corpse is futile.
With bullet-hell shooter? I think japan is their intended demographic.
This just in: Japan isn't the only video game demographic.
Actually, it's the smallest of the prominent ones.
That leaves Europe (also, it's not a country, Mr.Lardbutt), Africa and last but not least, Australia
Delusional PS3 fanboys >.>
360 is the most active console in the western hemisphere, so i dunno where the fuck you've been, because clearly if you're reading this site you aren't in japan.
Unless you create a zombie-xbox, I think i'll call it a zomb-box
Damn! Why is the 360 region-locked ? I want that game !!
360 is region locked only if the makers choose to put region coding in their games. There are plenty of games that don't have region coding... just... not many of the interesting ones from Japan >_>
MOAR PERRINE!!!
Agreed! I know who's derriere I'm fapping to tonight. :3
I hear ya, comrade~!!!
I'M WITH YA BRRRRRRRRROTHER!
@Delicious Flat Chest aka DFC
LOLZ! Dead consoles don't play! I think that 360 will need moar than a tsundere loli pettanko to revive it....
Tsundere yuri French loli pettanko. :3
