What happens when Ikaruga’s director remixes one of Sega’s all-time greats? • Eurogamer.net

There’s something else that’s really special about this restoration. A while back, Hiroshi Iuchi, the designer of such marvels as Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga and, most recently, Gradius 5, took up employment at M2. He’s working on a new shooter that’s slated for the PS4, but first he helped with a bonus Special Mode in After Burner 2, unlocked after seeing the end credits for the first time.
