I was facebooking Cacky on this. Force in his opinion is okay-ish. So sounds like it could be a lot of fun online.

Wish they'd port Too Spicy to the Wii, but that's never going to happen

Ah, so it's a port! I thought it was a new game entirely. Yes, hopefully this will prompt a larger production of the twin sticks at a reduced cost.

Fuck that, where's Planet Harriers and Border Break?

Force is indeed okay-ish, it has some very serious flaws though but it's still a lot better than Marz.

hehe, funny you should mention that I was going to write in my original post that maybe they're testing the water for Border Break, but then I realised that was retarded as they're totally different beasties.

Commercially I'd prioritise both those games ahead of Too Spicy, which will never get a port, but I can dream right

Actually, I'd heard that Too Spicy was ear-marked for a Wii port

Don't fuck with my head man. Are you serious?! It's such a natural fit to the hardware, but completely bombed in the arcades (over here anyway, not sure how it did in Japan). I think it was probably a bit too different for most people to get their head around. For me though it's a fascinating blend of strategy and lightgun action that totally shines as a 2 player experience provided both players have some clue as to what they're doing. Loved the style and setting too and the whole cyborg vibe. I need to play it again
