I wanted some Cave games on Vita so bad...
It almost happened as they were listed as devs in the initial Vita dev listing. But after the subpar launch in Japan, CAVE said "Nope, nevermind." And cancelled their Vita plans. It was too bad and I was hoping to have a version of Bug Panic with physical buttons and a port of DDP Maximum.

We really got the worst Deathsmiles cover in NA.

One of these is not like the other.
yeah the dfk bl is used because I didn't want a cave the best cover. Everything else is new though
Can't you run emulators on Vita? I was playing Progear and Dodonpachi on a little PSP. The Vita should be able to do much more.

Not actually that important
Lol you killed the last boss of the 1st loop a nanosecond before you were about to get killed again.
Super impressive run, congrats!
...why is this game so beautiful and sooo good but without a home port? -_-
Progear has my fav Cave's aesthetics too, probably above Ketsui
Thanks man!
Haha, I think I would have been OK at that point, but you're right that I wasn't really paying full attention, after that disappointing death I started looking at my score and the gem/ring count and was doing the math in my head whether I'd hit the final score extend after the fight. ;-)
With most of my 2-loop attempts before getting the ALL, my basic requirement was to have at least 8 (as I can pick up the extend in 2-4) or 9 lives before hitting the second loop to have as much resources as possible. Otherwise I'd trash the run.

dodonpachi saidaioujou finally came in!
Again. Waifu shit be damned going to play the hell out of it
also since i dont understand a lick of japanese, what do the costumes do? Are they just aesthetic pieces and don't really serve a point? Or do they actually change some property to how i shoot/move/or a score enhancer

The outfits select the difficulty level. The more skin, the harder it gets. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean?

And one important question.
I would like to buy Mushihime-sama from the japanese xbox360 store. Before I get these Microsoft points will I be region locked out before buying this game or any game for that matter?
i remember way back certain things were region locked like No more heroes stuff for some odd reason

That I unfortunately don't know. From what I experienced region lock-out on the online store has been totally arbitrary. One region locked physical release I was able to purchase and download, while another was blocked.
Edit: The good news is that they don't steal your points/money/spacebucks. The transaction never takes place, you just get an error message.
Check out this sweet Mushihimesama Futari remix that the composer of Eschatos made:

It would be crazy if he did the whole OST!
edit: ah crap, he only re-blogged it, he wasn't the one who did the remix - my bad guys. still pretty sweet though

Haha it's all in good fun though. I'm sure Ikeda is getting a kick out of it.

Honstely, I'd even be happy with a port of Deathsmiles IIX to PC. And I really don't like IIX.
I just hope that it means people who love making shooting games get frustrated and leave Cave to start their own thing.

A glimmer of hope for us Xbone owners, perhaps? Would be nice to not need my JP360 anymore.

That's nice of them. Finally, a (possibly) region-free way to experience all of Cave in the 360!
Wow. I was not expecting them to be on-board with 360 emulation on Xbone. Although, the silver bullet in that cloud means they've truly given up on consumer games. "Here are all the games, we don't give a shit anymore."

Nice!
Looking forward to a Black Friday sale to get an X1 & replace my busted 360.

Sorry, is this just bc or the availabilty of the games to purchase digitally on xb1?
I'm assuming this was Cave saying that they were asked, and allowed their 360 games getting emulated on Xbone. Since Spencer mentioned that the emulator can ignore region coding, this could (maybe) lead to the region locked 360 games being playable on all Xbones. That's what we crazy Cave fans are hoping for at least.

Just to be clear, all that tweet says in Japanese is that they've heard the request from a fan (the tweet quoted) and they'll report it up the chain.

So, this is going to be quite possibly the most stupid question ever, considering i have owned this game for years.
EspGaluda 2, how do you go into Kakusei Zesshikai while youre in Kakusei mode? I always thought it was one or the other, and was watching a video the other day and saw a player go into zesshikai mode while in regular kakusei. i tried every single button press, hold, and i cant do it.

That is the strange part. Holding the button will put me in zesshikai mode, pressing it will put me in kakusei mode but i cant seem to go from kakusei -> zesshikai, if i try to hold the button or press it again it takes me out of kakusei mode. SO WEIRD.
Do we have any further conformation as to if a Xbone play region locked 360 games through BC?
I'm pretty sure you need to hold the button to go into kakusei mode when you don't have any gold, then kill something to cancel the bullets in to gold. Since you're still holding the button down you'll enter zesshikai mode now that you have enough gold.
I haven't played it in years though, so maybe I'm wrong.

Sounds right to me. The only way to defer the switch is to not meet all the requirements, then change it so you do meet the requirement while still holding the button.
It's been a LONG time since I've looked in the thread or any STG thread for that matter, and I'm interested in rounding out my iOS Cave collection. Right now, all I have are Bug Princess, Deathsmiles, Espgaluda II, and DDP Resurrection. Are there other essentials I'm missing? Thanks.

Definitely DDP Maximum, the best iPhone shooter.

May I suggest Danmaku Unlimited 2? Even though the Steam version is superior in every way, it controls like a dream on smartphones.

I look at DOJ and 'luda on PS2 and I get sooo salty Arika couldn't swing Ketsui on PS2. Would look so sick in 240p on my RGB setup.
Thinkin' 'bout getting the PCB lol.

Does this thread serve as the center of STGaf? Because Steam is doing a doujin games sale and there are tons of neat STGs, like the Alltynex trilogy, Platine Dispositif's games and motherfuckin Crimzon Clover. XIIzeal is also at 50% and I finally bought it, I played it for 20 minutes but it has some really cool mechanics.
If this is OT I apologize and I'll go back trying to 1cc Dodonpachi, I'm playing the last three stages like crazy but every time I try a full run I do really stupid things in the first or second stages. ;_; One day I'll learn how to not choke when the second boss shoot the blue round bullets at lightning speed.

Well it seems like I didn't make my homework, thank you.
What's the opinion on the easiest CAVE's games to 1cc? Without considering the second loop of course. Dodonpachi is proving to be a challenging but fair 1cc, and the game gives you so many bombs I think it could be cleared without even trying to dodge anything in the last two stages if one manages to play well in the first four.
I heard Mushi original is quite doable, but what about the other games?

deathsmiles
dodonpachi daifukkatsu (resurrection)
mushi futari black label original
espgaluda (except for the final boss pattern)
I found akai katana and progear very easy to 1cc/1all once you learn the scoring systems.
