You can't just take a shmup and make it widescreen without making it an entirely different game. These games aren't even 4:3, and yet, there were plenty released at retail last generation for PS2 (in Japan). It's a shame that only a handful of those releases made it west.

It would make little difference to the games mechanics in reality. (you would just have a wider area to shoot in and more enemies on screen)
Obviously you are a purist in that respect, but I would sooner see a proper remake with HD sprites.
Also how do you know it would make the game entirely different ? when its never been done, the reason being is that these devs are too lazy and want a quick Yen/buck.
All it would take is a new background and a wider area for sprites to move in, the game would remain the same.
YESSSSSSSSSS i can,t wait for more of these games.....
been playin Omega Five all day ..... not really sure wot to think of it. LOOKS GREAT. PLAYS all right. kind of feel the guys are alittle on the big side >.< still
