    Amazon UK have DoDonpachi at £34.99. No Deathsmiles pricing this time around. Plus a release date of November 11! :(

    Anyone know any better prices?

    It's probably a placeholder price.

    Read an article linked by Rising Star games that gave a November release date too, so that's likely.

    Will hopefully come down in price though, makes sense for Rising Star to do a budget release again. Amazon do have a policy that if you preorder it you'll get it at the lowest price it has been offered at before release though if I recall correctly?

    Haha! Not sure about the cult formation, nobody has bought a €100 poster or a €70 pencil with a red C on it yet. Though I seriously considering parting with €50 for 2 magazines in Japanese. :o

    Happy news by the way, Famitsu is reporting a September release for Radiant Silvergun on XBLA at 1200 MP.

    Yup, just stumbled across that myself. I fail to understand how the best genre developer in the world is planning on dumping the platform that really pushed them to the forefront, PS2 excluded. At the very least drop the physical distribution and concentrate on XBLA.

    I dont really think there is one that would be up to the standard we're used to now with the abundance of arcade quality stuff about.

    Would be great to mod a good stick to make it work with a Snes and MD.

    No idea! It's probably one of those cases where it was good for the time, but on reflection it doesn't hold up when compared to sanwa/seimitsu sticks.

    Personally I rather not play with old sticks like that as I find them frustrating.

    True, though I'm going to try scanning the pages in and running them through Google Goggles or similar software. See if I can rustle up some rudimentary translations.

    And anyway, people buy 'adult art magazines' and 'only look at the pics' so it's a win/win all round (just not in a pervy way). :D

    You can't access the indie games in Ireland.
    Just tried a workaround and it works.
    Go to xbox.com and set up and american account..had to google to find a valid postcode :) Then just sign into new account on xbox to see all the yank content

    I downloaded a few demos.Vampire Rage look quality.
    Do i need to buy american MSpoints to actually buy games now???

    The easiest way to do it is to set up a UK account. All MS Points in Europe are the same, so just purchase a pre paid card online or down in your local retailer and you're set. Still a bit of a pain in the arse though, it's frankly ludicrous that the service hasn't been made available in Ireland. And it's buried in the depths of the Xbox menus in the rest of the world too.

    Good idea, failed implementation.

    Yeah I agree. Some of the titles I've had a bash on are far better than many of the full release XBLA titles.
    Played Prismatic Solid and So I Made a Game With Zombies In It..brilliant.
    What type of half ass Marketing strategy have Microsoft got towards promoting these up and coming talented minds.
    If Mickeysoft picked up games on the Indie market and released them it would create some competition and a breeding ground for great games for all of us:confused:

    It's possibly my favourite Cave title, or, it's very close to DoDonpachi. I sway between the two. Stage 2 is my favourite, I love the colours and the music.

    In other news, I just paid and pre-ordered a brand new Dreamcast title due in November. This looks amazing:

    Caught my young fella playing In The Hunt the other day on the Saturn, nearly brought a tear to me eye it did, I prefer that game to the teams later Metal Slug games for some reason.

    Also had a blast of my lovely Einhander, hmmm, played it loads over the years but this is the first time I went legit and actually own a real copy of the game, no telling now, ok?

    XG Blast is, well a blast, Geometry Wars all the way but no fecking about, the gameplay is on the bottom screen and while there is some touchscreen shooting available everything says just use the array of 4 keys for the extra stick and it works great.
    Gets real hard later too!

    I really love In The Hunt. The Saturn one is great, it's just sometimes the slowdown gets a bit worse than it should unfortunately. Still, totally playable.

    I'll get an arcade board of that one of these days :)

    Have you ever played Gunforce 2? Another fantastic pre Metal Slug game by Irem.

    In The Hunt is a real gem, love that game. As do I love Einhander, both cracking games. I've an NTSC-J Einhander but no copy of In The Hunt. Wish list! :)

    In other SHMUP smutty news, I just read about this. I'm almost tempted to go for a 3DS. Just a tiny bit more convincing and I'll hop on board I think.

    Imagine Darius Burst or Axelay on the 3DS for example! *wibble* :o

    Omega Five was due on 3DS but Konami cancelled it when they took over Hudson. Such a shame. Still on XBLA though.

    I'm torn, I'd like to try a 3DS after such a huge price drop but I reckon a wait until nearer Christmas will do the trick. Grab a bundle then or buy a Vita. Depends on who has the best collection of SHMUPS. :)

    well since they're going cheap just get a 3DS and by Christmas when Vita comes out you'll have enough money to get one of those also, just don't let Mrs Pyongyany aka Da Nang see you with too much shiny goodness or she'll kick your ass:pac:

    Hey is there any likelihood of Cave releasing region free versions of it's NSTC-J 360 shmups do you reckon?

    Have you got Mushihimesama Futari 1.5? You can get the platinum version on Play-asia for about €30 delivered. It's region free.

    Absolutely loving it. I'd imagine you'll really like it too.

    Haven't got it but heard it was region free alright. I'm just lamenting not going for this Cave bundle since I'm getting an inkling for this shmup lark now. For all the games and 360 £600 seemed like a great price. :(

    Now that, is what the 3DS is sorely lacking. The game itself may look mediocre Andrew, but take it from me (a launch day shmuck)...it shines bright in amongst the existing 15 year old games lineup for the 3DS :cool:

    Ah yeah I can appreciate it's something to be applauded if it's new IP for the machine alright. I just thought it looked a wee bit boring slowly going round a tiny planet shooting stuff, just a short clip I guess.
    Even with this price cut and rehashing of Mario titles later this year, I'll be sticking with my DS Lite & R4 for my Ninty fix. ;)

    Wise man :) The potential of the machine is massive, I can't help but feel its not only a blow to the 3DS, but to 3D in general. Walking around in Zelda, the sense of perception is jaw dropping, the cutscenes almost make you flinch with things heading for you.

    I do wonder what a proper shmup, or fps would be like on it. If Nintendo carry on neglecting it though we may never see :(

    I get that James May 'fizz' when I think of the 3DS SHMUP possibilities. Darius Burst being just one of them.

    Imagine a sequel to Einhander... or Deathsmiles III even! Adding depth to the game alone by utilizing the exact tools 3DS has to offer could pave the way for a whole new SHMUP niche, a new way of playing!

    ...but it won't happen will it?

    Where's the imagination? The risk taking? The new frontiers of gaming?

    There are none. It's just remakes and rehashes. I think that 3DS SHMUP title has serious potential. It looks risky but that's the point. It'll probably be brilliant.











    ...and it'll probably never see an NTSC-U or PAL release.

    Social gaming is good when it's done right. I'd stand by Xbox Live being the finest example - the leaderboard obsessions of Geometry Wars or NFS: Hot Pursuit are endlessly addictive. It's nice to be able to see how you're measuring up to other players.

    3DS stuff I'd agree seems a bit pointless. All these 'metagames' and stuff. Sure, it's nice on one hand to still be 'playing' even when you're not if the rewards are interesting enough. But having seen a friend obsessing over streetpass hits, I honestly just fail to see the attraction in it myself.

    I was kinda aiming that more at 3DS type stuff really, the success of XBL & PSN speak for themselves. That mobile crap though where it involves people on the streets, way over my head.

    Also seems this Vita dev agrees with some sentiments mentioned here lately regards ios/android... http://www.tomsguide.com/us/PlayStation-Vita-Handheld-Lyle-Hall-Matthew-Seymour,news-12174.html

    Streetpass has zero use unless you're walk commuting through a really heavily populated area every day.

    I do, and there's a nice little buzz when you take your 3DS out to find the green light on to signify a hit - then using said person to help you along in that mini streetpass quest thing.

    And this is coming from someone who also normally has zero interest in social gaming and hates facebook :pac:
