[QUOTE="HunkUBCS68"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Because you can't play those anywhere else. :roll:DarkLink77
Not really, I see you fail to do research, or aren't up to speed on the whole story. The PC does have some BH games if you like TouHou or Crimzon Clover, but there are far more of those caliber shmups on the X360. However... quite a bit of them are region locked requiring you to buy a Japanese X360 :( DoDonPachi Resurrection (among many others) is one of those games.
For older systems I gotta go with the Philips CD-I. It wasn't MEANT to be a gaming console but more of an education tool (hence why it had lack of buttons on its controller). The Dragons Lair series weren't really games per say but interactive cartoons with quick time events. Just because a system has a few good games in its library doesn't necessarily equate to it being a success.
What I meant was that there are a good number of shmups on the 360 and PC. :PThats still wrong, lol. The PC barely gets squat outside of Shanghai Alices developed TouHou. We used to get Raiden of all things but no more. Yeah, the X360 but the ones on the XBLA are only a select few in number. Region locks and a lack of branching out to other consoles/platforms are whats keeping the niche genre down. For example the NDS currently has very few like endless ocean and Ketsui (I own it for the nds) ;/ Bottom line iphone is not that bad, and it could be doing substantially worse. The game library is still growing, its a bit premature to judge it right now. Ya sure its no NDS or PSP, but I reckon it doesn't have to be for what it can do.
