It is, and it's fantastic. At least the Arcade mode, didn't bother with the Novice mode.
I appreciate the offer but I'd feel like a scumbag accepting, I'll prolly end up getting the game before the sale is over anyway.
I used 3 continues on novice mode :-(
My vision is pretty bad though and wearing glasses when looking at a screen strains my eyes. So I'll go ahead and use that excuse.

This is a humongous improvement over vanilla CC. Holy shit can't believe this also runs so well on my piece of crap laptop. I felt compelled to buy a gift copy to a friend. Thank you so much Yotsubane/Degica!

With STGs like this out, I ain't even mad CAVE is not with us anymore.
Just tried it on my real PC, aaand
360 TE stick doesn't work! No buttons, no directions.
360 standard wired and wireless controllers work.
Xbox One controller works.
PS3 Real Arcade Pro N3-SA works.
PS3 SFxT Fightstick Pro works.
Game seems great, but this is the first time I've seen a 360 TE stick not work with a game that otherwise supports POV hats! Patch would be super appreciated, lol.

That sounds frustrating, good thing my TE is dual modded. I'll chime back in with results for Cthulhu/ChImp board compatibility!
Oh for fuck's sake, not again!

Yargh, gotta go pick me up a new stick once the stores open up this afternoon.
You're not far off. My RAP VX-SA Kai does not work. 360 pad, no problem. Fuck me.
MadCatz BrawlStick (PS3) works 100%. At least there's that.

The TE stick works, but you need to use Xpadder and bind the arrow keys and ZXCA to the stick and buttons. I had to do the same thing with the doujin game, so I was hoping that issue would be fixed...
What you gonna go for? I'm wondering if those Kuro Hori sticks will work. That might be a nice choice.
Yeah, the TE stick was great once I set up JoyToKey. Only took a minute or two. Crazy that it's not natively detected, though.

Running out right now to buy a PS3 Real Arcade Pro N3-SA.
They really polished the game up since vanilla, damn. Noticeably harder too. I used to pretty easily make it to stage 5 on one credit, here I struggled to finish 3. It's obvious you're expected to use your reduced bomb bar much more frequently, like the gravity bomb in Mars Matrix.
I still think stage 4 is up there as one of the best overall stages in stg history - definitely in my top 5 at least. The combination of the amazing stage+boss music, the great patterns and background transitions, and Diabolos, one of the coolest stg bosses ever.

Would you guys recommend babby mode for a shmup scrub who refuses to stop loving shmups and wants to improve? This looks like something I shouldn't miss regardless.

I picked up a RAP V4 with the Hayabusa stick today and I can report it works fine with CC:WI.
One odd thing I'm finding: is anybody able to bomb in Boost mode? I tried messing with the settings, but there's no "Bomb" button per se. I mapped "Break" to the Triangle button on my controller, but it wouldn't trigger the bomb and neither would any of the other buttons. Bombing is super important in Boost Mode, so there has to be something obvious that I'm missing here...

I just tried and I see no difference from the rest of the game? Bombing works fine for me in boost mode, I don't know what could be causing your problem.
Since no one replied earlier I'd like to reiterate this question:

Just plugged in my 2P controller but couldn't get a 2P ship to join. Doesn't seem like local co-op works for any of the modes.

Is it supported on the Nesica Live version?

Just checked the official site (http://www.bouken.jp/pd/cc4n/index.html) and it says 2P Co-op was supported for the arcade version. Possibly an issue with my set-up (using an HRAP V4 and an Xbox360 pad to test).

Invincibility time is way shorter, yeah. It also feels like it takes a little longer to fill the break meter and it definitely doesn't last as long as it used to.

Oh thank God I thought I was going crazy. That's gonna take some adapting to. Do you think they changed it over the new ship? I've heard some exciting things about Double Breaking in it with some point blanking.
Nice, bought.
I will probably never play 2p but just out of curiosity, what kind of setup did you do this with? I had a 360 controller plugged in and tried to get 2p to join but couldn't figure out how to do it. zxc etc. all just controlled 1p, same as the 360 controller.

Just beware that the start button is probably not the start button.
I have a Madcatz PS3 TE and a DS4 (I tried both dinput and xinput). There is probably some sort of conflict with the keyboard (P1) and controller (P1).

I just got it working as well after seeing Nabs' screenshot. I found that I had to start the application with both controllers plugged in, then press the "Start" button on my Xbox360 controller at the Title Screen. Then went into arcade mode, and pressed Start at the mode select screen which got both 1P and 2P showing at the top left and right of the screen respectively.
xonar dg? seems to be a few people with this issue with that card. sucks.

Holy shit I gotta get my stick to work on this game. There is noooooooooo playing this with a controller. You pretty well have to keep your lock pressed to keep from oversteering and thats not doable because you have a rhythm of hold release you should be keeping to get your multiplier high enough to actually make things happen.
So hard with my oversteering being rampant. Also I LOVE the new ship...only downside is its hit sphere is the hardest I've ever seen to spot...yellow on a yellow ship in a game with flashy yellow attacks and Gold stars.
Yikes. Still dat shot and lock though...feels good man.
Also...fuck the spider guardian. Him and me got a history. If you wanna have a moment you will never forget dont spoil the last boss's pattern, keep quarter feeding and take on the last form of the final boss (not talking about the hidden one). That pattern...well I was NOT prepared lol.

Yep, Xonar DG.
I can get around it by using a USB audio adapter I got off a crappy old HP headset, but that's far from ideal. Still, better than nothing.
The boss that
bounces off the bottom of the screen
Played through arcade mode on both Novice and Normal difficulties (don't want to think about how many credits I used). Just wanted to echo a few of the issues I've seen in this thread.
First, I'm playing in tate mode but the game is vertically letterboxed with the panel taking up significant chunks of the top and bottom of the screen, and black bars running along the sides making the available screen very narrow. Seems like an awful waste as I can imagine the game zoomed and filling the screen entirely without losing anything accept panel. Am I missing something, or is that just how its going to be with this game?
Also, I'm playing using bluetooth headphones and have experienced significant audio issues such as crackling and cutting out. At first I just passed it off as bluetooth troubles (though other games sound fine), but after reading about others' audio problems here I'm not so sure.
Other than those issues, I have really enjoyed the game. Really glad to have gotten into this genre and am in a great place right now where I regularly discover a new "one of the best ever" shooters that I'd never heard of before even though I thought I had a pretty good handle on things. Hope more of these come to Steam soon.
