Ikaruga.......DC or GC?

Kpj · Jan 25, 2003

Looking to buy this game, but not sure what system to get it on.......

Gamecube offers a better possible picture (progressive scan/component video)

but.....

some games are/were still better on the Dreamcast.

Please help me out with this guys!

Come on guys.....

I just need some info.

The original game was made for the naomi GD rom so I think the Dreamcast version is a PERFECT port. I don't know what the GC has to added (or removed) to it.

DC = perfect arcade port.
GC = offers a new mode [i forget what]; no new levels or anything. and a password ranking system, so you can compare scores on the net.

I'd get the dreamcast one. Its just so nice...

From what I read about it, it's supposed to be near identical to the DC version (maybe a couple of slight differences though), so I don't think it matters too much which system you get it for.

This shoulda been posted in unrelated really you know

Okay,

Now onto gameplay.

I have an HDTV that I play my games on, so I want the best graphics possible; BUT I do NOT want to sacrifice gameplay, sprite size, animation, etc.. (Capcom VS SNK 2 was WAY better on the DC than the PS2/GC ports. This is what I am afraid of.)

Which one is superior?

I haven't played enough. Did the DC have the mode where you can watch a small section of a level in demo mode, then play in slow-mo to learn? I think it splits a level into like 8 pieces. I'm describing a feature of the Gamecube version.

If that exists in the DC version I never tried it.

Seeing as DC has the sharpest picture output on the market (through RGB Scart) anyway, plus VGA support, go with the DC version. And the hand-drawn artwork's a plus too.
