Otomedius Excellent is available Friday (confirmed)
UPDATE 2: Konami confirmed that Otomedius shipped yesterday (Tuesday, November 2) and should be available at all retailers on Friday. It's almost here!
UPDATE: It would appear that the game isn't available yet. Some of our readers were quick to inform me that they can't find the game anywhere. Amazon.com and BestBuy.com list the game as releasing today but neither have any in stock. Gamestop.com lists the game as releasing on 11/8/11 and Gamefly.com lists the release date as 11/3/11. There appears to be some miscommunication. I've reached out to Konami for a confirmed date and will let you know what I find out.
Otomedius Excellent is now available on the Xbox® 360. It features stunning visuals, thrilling multiplayer action, and a classic shoot-em-up 2D side-scrolling-Gradius-style.
For us Yanks, this is actually the sequel to the 2008 Japanese hit Otomedius Gorgeous. With nine stunning characters to choose from and eight all-new stages of heart-pounding action, Otomedius Excellent presents an exciting world full of intense 2D side-scrolling shooter action.
