Rez and Ikaruga to XBox Live - A Black Falcon - 12th September 2007
On the Nintendo front, Bangaioh DS was also announced... :)

What's that?
Rez and Ikaruga to XBox Live - A Black Falcon - 12th September 2007
Bangaioh (Bangai-O!), N64 (Japan) and Dreamcast (all regions) shooter from Treasure. I'm not sure if this is a remake or sequel to the original game, though, but it's awesome news...

What I'd love to see is a modern version of this game.

I love that game. It's an overhead space shooty thing only you can actually explore places and it's all set up like you are beamed into the internet and all the levels are the folders on your hard disk, and the currency is whatever icons are in those folders (appearing AS those icons), and you join various factions with special attributes and there's a lot of interaction with other "people", except they are NPCs and you'll see people call for help and you save them and sometimes befriend or make an enemy out of someone that way. Also there's races, and every now and then you get arrested, and sometimes you get pulled into your inner mind to fight your inner demon to gain ultra powerful weapons, and oh yeah, you can make your own ship at the start.
I love that game. A modern version with more than just one boss and actual online play to mix with the game's own "pretend online play" would be awesome.

I still don't have a good idea what sort of game it is. Multidirectional shooter could mean a lot. Is it anything like Fury3?

It's like a modern Thexder.
Rez and Ikaruga to XBox Live - A Black Falcon - 12th September 2007
I haven't played Thexder... heard of it though, when Sierra released a version in the mid '90s.
Oh yes, did you notice that it keeps track of the number of explosions on the screen -- that's the number in the top center. :)

Screenshots of the DS version! It's looking great.

Sierra also released a version in the 80's, and that's the one I played. Apparently on the trip to Japan to get the PC distribution rights for the game, they picked up a few new tricks for programming that they put into the updated engine for KQIV.
