US PS2 Castle Shikigami 2 rare already?

[PLECO]

What's up with this game?
The US PS2 version just came out and its not available anywhere already.
EB's had it on their site and it disappeared pretty fast.
I hope XS Games makes more copies.

Shit, didn't even know it was out. What was its release date?
Will have to hunt it down asap.

I don't know about that...the EB Games near me has like 5 copies. I don't think there were many released though. When I got mine, I had to flip a coin with someone for it...

WalMart lists it coming in 12/4/04 @ $9.82.

On a side note, does anyone know if this game offers the true vertical mode (i.e. where you would have to turn your TV sideways to play the game in its original vertical format)? I hate it when they shrink/letterbox a game like this, it ruins the look and feel of the original game. All the Saturn shooter releases were so great since they had a "Tate" mode option . . . when that option is not included, IMO the game is ruined. Anyone who has this game, can you confirm it?
