Gamerscore Blog has confirmed that Ikaruga will be arriving on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday, April 9th, as it had been rumored.
“Ikaruga” on Xbox LIVE Arcade features a two-player co-op mode both locally and over Xbox LIVE. Newcomers can also easily bring their skill up to speed by using the game’s slow motion training mode. “Ikaruga” is a perfect combination of beautiful, manga-style storytelling and challenging arcade heroics, all brought to life in a gorgeous HD environment.
Gamers itching to obtain a moment of “Ikaruga” glory will be wise to master the chaining system that detects when enemies of the same polarity are destroyed consecutively. Doing so will reward players with huge score bonuses, which will be key to topping “Ikaruga’s” leaderboards.
Certain GameStooge.com contributors are jonesing big time for Ikaruga, and you’ll probably be hearing from them in the comment section pretty soon.

Selling my Gamecube copy is something I’ve always regretted I’m buying this as soon as it comes out. This game is awesome, despite my sucking at it!
