Long, Long, Long Awaited Xbox Live Arcade Port of Radiant Silvergun Dated

Another beloved Treasure shooter is almost ready for its revamped release.

Swap visuals, play with a friend and even infuse a little Ikaruga into Radiant Silvergun for XBLA.

Treasure has been talking up an Xbox Live Arcade port of Radiant Silvergun for a while now, but the revamped version of the studio's revered and notoriously difficult shooter is finally, finally on the way.

On Treasure's website, Radiant Silvergun has been dated for September 14, and it'll set you back 1200 Microsoft Points ($15).

This version of the game has spruced up visuals, but like so many retro revisions, you can choose to ditch the updated graphics. Treasure's also added a two-player mode, an Ikaruga-style scoring switch and more.

Microsoft confirmed to me this afternoon the September 14 date is worldwide, too.
