We have our reporters and community keeping an eye on Mushihimesama Futari Ver. 1.5 for you, and we'll keep you up to date with the latest developments as they happen.

Mushihimesama Futari Ver. 1.5 is a 2D shooter exclusively released in Japan for the Xbox 360. This region-free arcade port harks back to the days of Ikaruga with the insane amount of action onscreen at the same time and the colourful visuals and addictive gameplay will keep you coming back for more. With the option to choose between the arcade and Xbox 360 graphics mode, stunning backgrounds and three challenge modes, Mushihimesama Futari taps directly into that old-school arcade vibe and is a tremendous experience that few will dare to experience.

If you're anything approaching a fan of old school shoot 'em ups then Mushihimesama Futari will scratch that particular itch until you bleed. It not only brings back memories of playing 2D shmups in the arcades but it shows that the genre still has a place on modern consoles, even if that place is only in Japan. The theme of Mushihimesama Futari is distinctly insect-like with the literal translation of the title meaning 'Together with the Bug Princess'. This gives the backgrounds of the game a very distinct look, with grotesque, yet beautifully rendered monsters and scenery portraying this theme. It's hard not to be distracted by these visuals and the new Xbox 360 graphics overhaul looks immeasurably better than the arcade version.
