Under Defeat HD Blasts Its Way to Retailers, PSN This Fall

Originally released for arcades back in 2005, top-down shmup Under Defeat was eventually ported to the Dreamcast about a year later. The game is now headed to the PlayStation 3 in both physical and digital formats.

Publisher Rising Star Games will release Under Defeat HD: Deluxe Edition at retailers and on the PlayStation Network this fall. The game will be priced at $39.99, and it will sport snazzy new HD visuals, destructive environments, dual stick controls, and new modes. Additionally, the retail version of Under Defeat HD will include a digital artbook, soundtrack CD, and a letter from the producer and CEO of developer G.rev.

If you’re looking for some old school arcade shmup action, be on the lookout for this one. I might check out Under Defeat HD myself. Seriously, though, it baffles me that people kept making Dreamcast games years after that console’s official life cycle ended.
