Gunvalkyrie (ガンヴァルキリー) is a third-person shooter developed by Smilebit and published by Sega exclusively for the Xbox.

History

Development

Gunvalkyrie began development in 1999/2000^[5]. It was originally set to be released on the Sega Dreamcast in 2001, where it would have used the Dreamcast Gun^[6]^[5].

Release

Gunvalkyrie is said to have performed "dismally" in the Japanese market^[7], owed in part to the lukewarm reception of the Xbox console in that region.
