Otomedius Excellent Launch Screenshots

The latest shmup hits North America

Written by punkyliar on 03 November 11 at 14:01

Otomedius Excellent (JP Ver) has been available in Japan since 2010, but was finally released in North America this week. This shmup flies under the radar for most people, so Konami has decided to release a plethora of launch screenshots to raise awareness for the title. Of course, those of you who were already aware of the title won't be complaining about the sight of scantily clad girls now either, will you?

Doesn't look like my kind of game. Big anime fans out there will hopefully like it though.

Its gradius/parodius with the ships and funny characters replaced with mecha musume, so if your into old-school shooters (which i am) it may be of interest.

Is this game in Japanese on a North American Retail? If so how interresting.

I just called gamestop and the guy said the only place he saw it on sale was Ohio and that today's shipment hasn't came yet and to call back tomorrow. So this looks like Friday is going to be the day most of us get it.

Note that the game was not street dated, and chances are that GS will have it in stock for those who pre-ordered it on the 4th or later, and for those who don't on the 8th. Although Amazon and Gamefly have it readily available to buy or rent.

And to the previous poster mentioned about release, the game is the NA retail port with JP voices with Eng. Subtitles.

My friend is a huge fan and crazy excited this is coming out soon. Me on the other hand...it just looks like typical Japanese shmup weirdness.
