The current top rated Ikaruga Xbox Live Arcade player has direc♒ted a white and black laser beam of hﷺate at the Treasure remake, calling the Arcade version "a horrible port".

The 🉐Japanese player, Gamertag, put up with the port long enough to get to the number one slot, but writes on his Gamertag bio (in Japanese): "The XBLA version of Ikaruga is a horrible port. This isn't Ikaruga, this is Ika🐎ruga LOL."

Apparently, the🅠 reason for the Ikaruga XBLA hate (according to the) is a number of subtle changes in the Arcade version that have pissed off the hardcore shooter players.

These are changes like different enemy placement f👍rom the Dไreamcast version, and one of the boss's lasers comes round the opposite way. You can't please everyone.
