I gave a playthru on each of the games.
omg very hard, I credit fed them waaaaaaay more than any other Cave game I played on my first time.
they also both feel very different from all the other Cave stuff I played, but reading the reviews in the OP I understand why... I definitely needa check out Battle Garegga one day.
the scoring systems seem simple, but the games are so hard that there's definitely a lot I still needa learn

Awesome. I plan on buying each and every one, it's a project of mine to have all this Cave 360 goodness.
What's the difference between DDP DFK and DFK with Ketsui mode? If I just get the version with Ketsui mode, is that include everything that vanilla DFK offers, but more? In other words, is there a point to owning both?
Also how is the Ketsui port? I've heard bad things about DDP Daioujou, and I know that port is by the same people.
Also what is the best way to play these games? I have an old HD CRT that I think the non-HD games like MMP/PS and Guwange would look best on, and an LCD to use for the games with high res assets. Or I may just use the HD CRT for everything since I can tate it. What do you think?

DDP DFK 1.5 is the original game, which has the Black Label release as separate DLC. Black Label is vastly different from the original game. I like it more (like, at the moment, a lot more), and that usually doesn't happen with Cave arrange modes/black labels! The other disc has ONLY that DLC version, as well as the Ketsui-based bonus mode. So, yeah, the version with the Ketsui arrange mode does not contain the original game. If you really want everything, get both. I don't think I'd care about the Ketsui mode, so I got vanilla and bought the DLC.
The 5pb Ketsui port is really fuckin' good. Don't worry at all about it; it might be the most accurate of all the 360 ports. The Daioujou port gets a bit of a bad rap, as the Black Label portion is actually pretty good.
Well, no matter what, you'll be running through the 360, which means the games will be upscaled. CRTs in this case will only help by adding that natural CRT blur. Use whatever you can rotate that has the least amount of input delay and is in a position for you to get your face and your joystick all up in.

Wow, I completely misunderstood MMP's scoring system when I played it earlier. Now that I know what I'm doing, I fucking LOVE it. This is quickly becoming one my favorite Cave scoring systems, right up there with Ketsui and Death Smiles. So fun.
MMP is so god damn good.
MMP is so god damn good.
Yeah, it's great. It's the Raizing medal system mixed with Ikeda's "fill a counter then unleash hell" system. And being able to automatically suck in all the medals on screen makes much easier to keep your chain than in Garegga or Ibara. I still don't know the difference between MMP 1.00 and 1.01.
I noticed that sometimes the lard meter suddendly drops to 0, even when I thought I had a lot of bar left. Maybe switching to A shot to pick up the medals resets the meter?

Kinda OT, but Guwange had a patch that fixed it's 4:3 issues. I was unaware of that.
Yep, patch works well enough. I was a bit concerned assuming Pink Sweets was gonna be similar...but Guwange looks fanrastic on a tated CRT post patch. Planning on playing this week's new release like that exclusively. Gonna be a little bit of a chore with the elaborate menus but once started will work great.

Ketsui port is one of my favorite Cave ports along with Futari. Near zero loading times and it plays great. I'd say best way to play is definetly through a tated CRT. Set the 360 to the lowest resolution and the games look great, even the high res ones.

Finally made it to stage 4 in Pink Sweets... Game's still pretty hard, even though I'm playing v1.01. Managed a 3.1 million score too - I've been trying to break 2 million and get to stage 4 for the past 10+ credits, so I'm glad I finally made some progress.
Both of these games are so awesome. I just wish this port had as many options as the rest of Cave's games. Everything just feels kinda bare bones.

That version 1.01 of sweets actually sounds like something I could get into. I've never been good at yagawa games, except bakraid

It should, Futari's Black Label (er, "Hutari's Black Lavel") DLC worked on the US store.LiK said:

The DLC card doesn't work on US accounts. Gotta redeem it with a Japanese one. I'm surprised it's not just an unlock key too, it's real DLC (12.18 MB).
Also, I just want to reiterate: Muchi Muchi Pork is amazing. It's already in my top 5 Cave games. I love it.

I remember reading you need to sign in with the JPN account on a second controller to get it to recognise DLC. Was a while ago I read that though.

Buhwhat? That's a shame.
I don't have a Japanese account, how hard is it to make one?

Do you think it's possible that they just forgot to add it to the US marketplace and that they could add it and have the DLC codes still work?
I probably wouldn't mind the workaround, but if I ever change over to a Slim (J-Slim?) I'd still like everything tied to my one account for transfer purposes.

That almost seems likely, since the DLC card isn't much different from the 1.01 on Futari. I've got a Japanese account if I need to use it, but it seems a little odd.
Actually, was the code tried on both the system and the site?

Don't worry, I'm still waiting NCSX's next shipment which arrives sometime next week. Then I've got another week's wait due to UPS ground shipping to California. I bet we'll both get our copies around the same time.Princess Skittles said:

Mine hasn't shipped from NCSX either. Supposed to be getting it with DFK Black Label.
Maybe I wasn't in that first 80% of shipments

Mine is bad too. NCSX ships to New York City, then the government ships it to Frankfurt, then it gets trucked to my location in southern Bavaria. Local heavy snow slows everything down. I've been lucky and gotten priority packages in a week but sometimes they take 15 days. Hopefully I'll be playing by next weekend.

Heh, it was a no-brainer buying this, but at $80, anything to put the cost up any more was slightly horrifying._dementia said:curse our cheap asses

How is NCSX these days? I stopped buying from them so long ago because I received two or three GBA games squished because they shipped cardboard box games in envelopes (and I hated how expensive UPS Ground shipping was for how slow it was).Reluctant-Hero said:

I feel sorry for you guys having to wait potentially weeks to get it. I'm biting my nails tracking my EMS package from AmiAmi, and it got into customs in Chicago this morning at 11am. I'm hoping they don't hold it for too long, I'd like for it to maybe get to me tomorrow.
