For some reason I thought Guwange was this week. Day 1 regardless.

Guwange next week? I knew those exploited Microsoft points from that Bing thing would come in handy!

Yeah, really looking forward to it as well, had my points ready for a while
Just saw on Shmups that Mushi Bug Panic goes up on Nov 18 for $4. Excite!
And, the two Daifukkatsu Premium themes and gamerpics are now a available for 240 and 160 points respectively.
Went for the Premium Theme 1 with the robot boss chicks. The downloaded gamerpics are not showing up in my profile...not sure if something is wrong with the file or I'm just stupid.

That is what I finally did as well. DS->Mushi->Daifukkatsu! Something to get excited about a few weeks before Nov 25.danmaku said:Sweet! Time to change my Mushi theme
If you get some gamerpics and get them working let me know what you did. I bought the pack with the bees but can't load them. Gotta have a bee up there!

That DDPR theme is really nice.
The one in the Guwange thread is Premium Theme 2. The one with the ladies is Theme 1.

I would actually buy that second theme, which is something I thought I'd never say. But my J-XBL account only has 200 points left in it. I'm never going to find anything to spend that remaining credit on. Ugggh.
I don't mean to bump this thread without any real news (DAI-FUKKATSU THIS MONTH OMG) but I'm having a problem with my Japanese 360 and I figure someone here would have some advice.
I just bought a second Xbox Live point card from Play Asia.
http://www.play-asia.com/Xbox_Live_Points_1400_points/paOS-13-71-es-49-en-70-3y5k.html
The code arrived immediately but It's just not working. Code Not Valid.
I'm entering it into the same Japanese Xbox Live account that I used a month ago, on the same console. I'm 100% positive that I'm entering the code correctly.
I've already contacted Play Asia but they haven't gotten back to me yet.
Is this sort of thing common? Is there any chance I'll either get a refund or a replacement card? Is there a better place to order these cards from? Should I stick with a physical card instead of the digital version? Question?

I paid good money for this Dynex!
B vs. 8 is also kind of a tough one. I've had issues entering those codes before, and I'm not even that dumb.
Anyway, I should really hurry up and preorder Daifukkatsu. I think I'm just gonna nextday it from NCSX. I want that 1.51 DLC card.
So with Mushihimesama Futari, am I just gonna have to scour Ebay for a 1.01 card? Because I want it, but I'm not sure if I can simply buy it from the marketplace...

Yeah, but it's just knowing that I don't have it that's gonna bother me. Regardless of how irrational it might be to be bothered by that.
And as far as the Dodonpatch... man, I really do wonder what happened to that. The one thing that I really hoped that thing would fix is the shitty filter you can't turn off that makes the game look blurry... but who knows if we'll ever even get that damn thing.

Once you get to the attract screen, there are no load times.epmode said:
There are only bugs with the original (non black label) version. The BL version is just fine and if you want the original you can get the PS2 version. Furthermore, unless you're a chaining god that can 1cc the game, you won't even notice it.
You're probably just avoiding it because it kicks your butt.
A couple of interesting news from Cave:
- A new version of Akai Katana, called "Red Label", is going to be released. But, strange enough, it won't be an arcade release, it will be a PCB for home collectors only. It will have a stage select feature, mandatory free play (thus rendering the PCB useless for arcade owners) and some tweaks to the scoring system. While it's interesting to see Cave showing attention to home users, it's puzzling how they decided to change the game's balance, so that it won't be possible to compare scores with arcade users. What's the point of buying a PCB, then? more likely, they just want to milk as much yens as possible from crazy collectors.
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/11/09/akai_katana_general_purchase/
- The infamous DOJ patch is 100% ready, but it's currently in the hands of Microsoft and it's impossible to say when it'll be released. You can read all the details on Cave-STG (yes, it's online again).

Can't wait for that retarded smoothing filter to die!discoalucard
i am a butthurt babby that can only drool in wonder at shiney objects
Daifukkatsu is out next week, isn't it? Have they ever announced if Black Label was being made available for DLC?
I have no idea what the differences are, but while the vanilla OST is kinda lousy, the Black Label soundtrack is amazing.

Boy, those DOJ patch notes sure don't make it sound like the bugs are only confined to BL...
The load times are a pain but the menus alone are reason enough not to play the game. I don't think I've used any software in the last decade that has a GUI as confusing as DOJ-EX's. It's simultaneously insulting and hilarious.
Also hasn't the patch been in "Microsoft's hands" a few times now? And it was rejected each time? God I hope that doesn't happen again.

Apparently (from what I've read on the Shmups forum) it won't work on the iPad until iOS 4.2 is out
. I bought it anyway for the launch price.I'm kinda torn on DOJ BL. I wouldn't mind owning it, but the only real reason for me to buy it is to be able to use my TE sticks with it rather than the Hori T5 PS2 sticks.
EOJ's review of Deathsmiles IIX has me considering the port. I'd probably rather just have the x86 executable somehow though. :x

Yeah, I was just reading that too. I never got around to buying it. I know the game may look better in person but all the videos I saw made the game look incredibly low-rent. I'm usually a pretty accepting guy but I just couldn't bring myself to spend $80+ on an iffy port of such a homely game. I was also holding out for the slim chance of it getting a US release but I just can't imagine that happening now...Maybe I'll buy it for Christmas.Tain said:
Not gonna buy Bug Panic. It looks very iPhone. Screw you, virtual dpads!
Eurogamer did a pretty nice article about Cave: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-11-19-caves-story-interview
Lots of neat pictures from the office as well!

The only note I can see that's vaguely related is "Bees would randomly disappear on screen". It doesn't say what mode that applies to, although I've never seen a bee disappear in BL mode.Rummy Bunnz said:

Frankly, I'm just glad that the DOJ patch is going to turn off that awful filter. Game looked hideous with it on...
So DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu is being released tomorrow, where's the hype?
Here's a nice video showing the options and some gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCoYCePTEE0&feature=player_embedded
Also Black Label is confirmed for DLC:

Nice, looks like I need to buy a Japanese points card.
Got my copy pre-ordered from NCSX. Hopefully they ship it soon; I live very close to them, so shipping is always super fast.

I'm only half-hyped because we've been spoiled with so many CAVE releases over the last year that I feel like I've only started to explore & there are so many other games out right now too. Will definitely be ordering this when I get my next paycheck though.
Fuck yeah on Black Label news! Gotta get me some more points!
No hype because it is J-360. Importers are not going to get it till later next week, sadly. I'll hopefully be in the leaderboards next week as I've gotta wait for it to ship to europe from NCS. They are planning on shipping friday morning if all goes well.
And I'll say what I always say: a real shame there is no official themed stick release for this one.
Amazon Japan is shipping the new EX stick released for this title, though. I got shipping confirmation a few hours ago.

My hype is just getting built up again. Having Black Ops and GT5 as big distractions this month means I'm getting myself back on the Bullet Hell hype train
Constantly checking my emails to see if my friend in HK has managed to get a copy. I don't fancy having to wait on PA shipping him a copy then onto me. Even after Guwange, I need my Cave fix!
hipgnosis said:So DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu is being released tomorrow, where's the hype?
Even though I'm very glad there is a console version, I'm not really hyped for this because I feel the iphone early release already took away that exciting-new-cave-home-port hype. Now it's just the delayed-release-superior-version hype, which is not as great.
That plus after paying $10 for the iphone releases, the $75+DLC+shipping = ~$100 price feels a little less of a fair price.
Basically the iphone versions have ruined my Cave importing excitement :lol
Still getting it though. But since mail is closed for thanksgiving tomorrow, it won't be until next week for me.

Arrange Mode B sounds crazy as hell. Hardcore score people are going to absolutely hate it though :lol

I won't even be home when it arrives. :[
I'm pumped, but I kinda feel like I should clear Mushi Futari 1.5 Maniac before getting into this. Whatever! I'll play it and see what I feel like.
This is one of the reasons why I wouldn't buy the iPhone Cave games. I don't like watching full playthroughs before playing, either. Don't want to spoil much!Bebpo said:
