Rising Star Games has finally announced the North American release date of Cave's new arcade shooter Akai Katana. Xbox 360 owners will be able to purchase the game on May 15th. If you're interested in this game and you aren't an Xbox 360 owner, then you're out of luck because it's exclusive to that console. Why a Japanese game already destined to be tiny and niche would limit its audience that way is beyond me, but that's not important.

A cute instructional video was released for the game last week, in case you actually are interested.
