Shmups on the 360

[dmauro]

This is the one that 5pb made by stealing code from Arika's PS2 port.

[FortNinety]

Yeah, I know, but I was wondering who came up with the mode itself. Did Cave come up with the "script" and simply handed it off, or was 5pb the ones who came up with it? Cuz I get the impression that everyone in that company is an idiot, hence why the idea of them coming up with anything being good sounds odd.

[dmauro]

Black Label saw an arcade release from Cave which the game is based on yeah. X Mode is entirely 5pb's creation however.

Raiden Fighter Aces $9.99 with free shipping on newegg

[FortNinety]

And it's already sold out? That was fast.

[dmauro]

Ketsui has a release date of April 22nd on Amazon.co.jp.
&
Senkou no Ronde Duo is listed as April 28 on Play-Asia.

Here's to Ketsui not being the worst port ever.

Us version of Death Smiles out in July?

[dmauro]

Here's my own translation of Mihara's post:

Now, it seems that at certain places on the Internet that the release date [for Ketsui] has been announced,
and sorry to dissapoint, but this information is not accurate.
Consider this is as a leak-ish unconfirmed information.

As of now, the release date has not been officially decided.

But, I will speak here as approved by 5pb, Asada-san, and for some reason Mihara myself.

360 Ketsui will be released.

It is for that I am helping with the re-programing of crucial things at Cave,
and I am working at various locations to assist with the release.

Therefore, until there is a report that an official "release" is confirmed,
please wait like a crouching Guile.

Asada-san said that he will help me with this matter on his side as well,
so please check Cave's development blog tomorrow.

Cave did not do anything to lose the trust of Ketsui fans.

(On that matter, Mihara is coughing up a lot (LOL))

 Mihara's blog translated from a shmups forumer.

[dmauro]

Here's a machine translation. Some of it bolded for hilarious:

Rough machine translation:

Now is the net flow patterns are available in some days,
To be disappointed, this is not confirmed information.
Flying and folks say? I think I want an unconfirmed.

Now, here this time, is not officially released yet been set.


That, where 5pb. I'll have to speak with them on Asada and somehow agree with Mr. Mihara.

Ketsui 360 will be released.
Haya Sono's Cave in order to assist in the areas of critical Ripuroguramu,
Mihara, we somehow are moving in every direction and ranging from the launch behind the scenes or in the muscle.

So, I get 』to『 can officially say that the report,
Guile is wait a while longer in宜Shiku.

So as not to give him the follow-up on this thing who's also Asada
Please wait for tomorrow's Cave's development blog.

Mr. Cave is a thing like betray the Ketsuifan you are not translated.

(Mihara from that point it is Kefunkefun (laughs))

Man, that arrange mode looks pretty awesome. That red bullet one must be the Yagawa arrange mode (I think there are two this time around, original and black label? fake edit: just double checked, word is that Yagawa's arrange mode might be DLC.)

[dmauro]

I opened a post but it got locked.

Dear shmuppers,

I am glad to anounce that amazon japan sent me an email to announce me that Ketsui XBOX 360 will be released on April 22.
There is two version:
- normal at 7140 yens
- limited at 9765 yens

Normaly the limited should contain a guide book as well as an arrange cd of Ketsui and DDP DO

Another news from Famitsu 360 is the last mode in espgaluda II
ブラックレーベル、Xbox360、アーケード、アレンジ、ノービス、Omake!

Black label
XBOX 360
Arcade
Arrange
novice
OMAKE !

OMAKE! is finaly the mode that was not yet announce. It seems it will be free (no DLC).
If I know more, I will post some news

[FortNinety]

I love this line...

please wait like a crouching Guile.

Anyhow, now that Death Smiles has managed to make it over here, I guess that means the chances of Espgaluda II and Ketsui being region free are pretty much zilch, right?

If not this year than 2011 Just like they did with Death Smiles.

[dmauro]

Expect region locking bit hopefully you'll see them brought over in a year. I'd be a little more pessimistic about Ketsui coming over though.

[FortNinety]

Cuz it's so old or doesn't contain any schoolgirls, i.e. a gimmick to at least sell to the quotient that will buy anything wacky jappy?
