Sounds like they're only closing down the consumer division (responsible for console ports). It doesn't mention anything about the arcade division, which is a separate business. Hopefully they'll still make a shooting game every once in a while, and let Arika or 5pb publish it for the PS4/XBone.

oh well, if SDOJ will be their last shmup, it's not so bad.
sucks though.
oh what really? no wonder it was taking a while for pre-orders start, this sucks, i really wanted one.

This thread had a good run.
Well, we can still play them (is that Akai Katana artbook competition still going?
)!

you play cave games too? you like all the good shit ^_^

regardless, I still have my doubts about SDOJ being the last shmup from CAVE.. and if it truly is, I'm sure the ones responsible for all the awesome games we've gotten from 1995+ will continue to create great STGs even if it's elsewhere.
and damn NCSX hasn't shipped my SDOJ yet. looks like I won't have it for the chicago shmupsmeet today
Also, Play-asia has the SDOJ Super Limited Edition in stock.

There's a Chicago shmupsmeet today? I'm in Naperthrille, I feel left out
There's a post in the news thread that what's referred to as Consumer is console/arcade. So if the report is accurate, it does appear to be over.
But like Boss said in that thread, they made a lot of wonderful games, many of which I've barely scratched the surface. Sad to see it end but there's a lot of play left, including this afternoon when I pop in SDOJ.

My RE+amiami book card showed up a little bit ago. Can't wait to get home from work and play it!

If that means shmups.system11.org, then I'm totally an existing/active member, but I didn't rsvp
I'll go to one of these things eventually. I'll show off my mad skills of buying shmups and then not playing them.

So tempting.
Like Mark Twain said, rumors of CAVE's death have been greatly exaggerated.
I'm would not be. I'm really expecting another two years out of the system for releases. At the very least we will see more things like Shooting Love 10th or Ginga.

I know you wouldn't be! but there's a lot of people who think the news of multiple port related blogs closing down and CAVE stating that SDOJ would be their last port meant they were done with the 360.
for all I know, it might be their last 360 ported title...
but I remember a near dozen times when X title will be their final shmup, Y title will be their last region-free title, Z title will be their last port.

still have G.Rev, Moss, Grasshopper coming out of the woodwork, Treasure who may come out of nowhere with project RS3.. etc.
even random indie devs creating games like sturmwind.
but to some people, the death of CAVE could mean the death of shmups for them if they never branched out.

Are you liking it enough to recommend it? Maybe I should buy it too lol.
NCSX hasn't shipped my copy yet D:
But you should buy it because it's cool as hell and TS are swell guys.
Fuck Triangle Service, Yotsubane will save us.

I kid, mostly.
Post impressions when you get your Shooting Love 10th Anniversary. I'm really interested in the G-stream port.

Well the Cave closing?/restructuring thread reminded me to look into how much I can get MMP/PS now, and a 3rd Party on Amazon is selling Cave the bEst for $33 after shipping. So that's a plus.
And for anyone curious, various 3rd Parties are selling Dodonpachi Saidaioujou LE for as low as $160~ after shipping.

Cheaper to go through Play-Asia (they have the LE in stock as well).
Depends. Usually about a month for me with free shipping. Not that bad.
Did their orders get caught in customs? I had a P-A order get caught for nearly a month.

I don't know how you guys swallow Japanese video game pricing, yet cheap out on the shipping for what amounts to like $5-10 in difference. You're already paying way more than you would be for a domestic release, just a little more and you have your game in a matter of days, not months.
I AM NOT A PERFECT PERSON
Totally agree with this, especially b/c with FedEx you get a lot more tracking information.
distance makes the heart grow fonder something something
Ha ha, true. I do do it so save a few bucks though. If I just dropped $80 on a game, I'd rather not add another $15 to that total.

If you're not in the US, more expensive shipping methods seem to have a higher chance of being charged with customs fees.
US buyers got no excuse though
We have a totally awesome and sweet general shooting game thread here:
