The latest Strike Witches event has brought with it the announcement that Strike Witches will finally get a game adaptation in its natural genre, almost universally (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/06/10/strike-witches-nintendo-ds-game-detailed/) thought to be vertically scrolling shooting action.
The only details released so far are that the developer is CyberFront, the platform is the Xbox 360, and the genre is shooting. A release date is not given, but with the second season in the works (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/04/29/gonzo-redeemed-with-strike-witches-second-season/) we might think it likely to coincide with this.
For whatever reasons, the Xbox 360 is the normal platform for “STG” games, having quite a number of titles already released.
With the release of games like IdolMaster and Dream C Club, and now Strike Witches, it seems the Xbox 360 is targeting a very specific demographic in Japan…
In the mean time, the free doujin alternatives may still be of interest (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/11/02/shooting-witches-prelude-dash-plus-download/).
