Live Wire will delist the Switch version of Mushihimesama from Nintendo eShop on August 10 due to the expiration of the licensing agreement with original developer CAVE Interactive, the company announced.

Mushihimesama originally launched for arcade on October 12, 2004. The Switch version launched on June 15, 2021.

There's no similar announcement regarding the Steam version, which also appears to be currently on sale.

Which port is better PC or Switch?

 

[Katatonic]

Which port is better PC or Switch?

Switch a respectable 3 frames of lag where the pc version can be brought down to 2 by disabling v sync

 

[Tarin02543]

also better buy espgaluda 2 quickly then, that one doesn't even have a steam version

 

[Evil Calvin]

Muramasa?

 

[Dacvak]

Bought this when it came out. It runs great on the Switch for anyone on the fence. It's a classic. Plus it's great in portable tate mode.

No reason not to buy it on Steam, eShop, and Switch Physical.

Haven't thought to look up on Amazon JP for the physical version for NSW so thanks for that! And I see that the CERO release comes with English language support, which is perfect.

Supported Languages: Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese.

With all the useless shit that could be quietly delisted with no one even noticing and not a single soul caring, of course they're going to delist a masterpiece.

 

[Tarin02543]

or sometimes I play it like this (framerate tripled to 180 fps via LS on my 360 hz QD OLED)=

 

[Katatonic]

this is how i play my copy=

I use my FlipGrip for TATE on my OG Switch. Feels like one of those old school mini arcade machines.

 

[Wonko_C]

Not good enough if you don't put that oled in vertical mode.

 

[Porcile]

That's weird but I have a physical version on pre-order from Amazon Japan.

Will any other games be delisted?

I'm not sure, but like I've mentioned in another thread, there's this website where they keep track of games that get delisted in the near future.

They even have this neat calendar: https://delistedgames.com/watch-list/

Will any other games be delisted?

Live Wire published games on Switch:

Mushihimesama - Release Date: 6/15/2021 - Delisting: 8/10/2024
Espgalude II - Release Date: 9/9/2021
DoDonPachi Resurrection - Release Date: 11/25/2021
Radiant Silvergun - Release Date: 9/13/2022

I'd be pretty concerned about Espgalude II and DoDonPachi Resurrection following suit.

I probably wouldn't worry about the Steam release for now as it has a different publisher (Komodo) and was released 11/12/2015.

or sometimes I play it like this (framerate tripled to 180 fps via LS on my 360 hz QD OLED)=

Bought a seperate monitor that can rotate especially just to play tate shmups but it's useful for a load of my mini consoles as a lot of arcade games use that orientation.

To be honest if anyone is even remotely a shmup fan they really should be proactive in picking up as many of them as they can while they are still available as they tend to go out of print quite often, sadly i missed the boat with a few so i refuse to pay like £100+ for certain titles don't even get me started on retro systems like PS1.

This kinda came out of nowhere. I'm gonna grab the PEGI version of Mushihimesama since it will be a tad cheaper getting it locally than importing a copy through Amazon Japan.
