1. Exactly.
2. On the whole, Japanese games aren't as hard as the Western equivalents simply because there is a much larger base of gamers to satisfy out there, with more casual gamers, so games that are really hard would be given up on by a large proportion of gamers. Obviously though, Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun and other shooters like that started life in the arcades, so only hardened fans would be buying them anyway.
3. Now go and complete Ikaruga on the hardest mode. I would, but my brain has long since turned to pate after trying.

I'll try and do that. I'm gonna see if you unlock another Duel by killing The End before your battle with him (makes you fight the Ocelot Unit, supposedly). After I do that, I'll post another set of pictures.
