It's from 12/28-12/30. Apparently Cave is renting out the 5th floor of the Hey Arcade for those three days. You'll be able to play DDP Campaign Version (they say it's a "special arrange version", not sure if it's different from the normal DDP Campaign PCB), and compete for Mushi Futari version 1.5 high scores-- the winner of the Mushi Futari 1.5 hi score competition will win a PCB and other goods (!!!). They will also be selling rare Cave items, including a fresh reprint of DDPDOJ/Ketsui and Espgaluda OSTs, and lots of arcade posters! If you're in Japan, don't miss it. Once in a lifetime event.

i guess they heard i was coming

Holy! I hope IcyCalm and NTSC-J takes some pics/movies.

If anyone is going and would be willing to pick some things up for me, send me a PM.

Whoever goes needs to buy us shirts and stuff

and every cave fanboy on the boards is going to be going "hey sven"..

Guess I gotta reschedule that Osaka work trip.

Hey Sven, we're buddies right? haha

hehe i hope so, i'll sure be easy to spot atleast

Bring some hot-fanboyz stuff to London sven!

it is funny to think cave is holding a contest about a decade old 1 in the world PCB.. cave fanboy must see event if there ever was one
i would gladly pay full price for a DPP campaign or even DOJ black label low res tate barebone port. nay, i would buy several.

you bet mate ill try to get a hold of as much loot as possible

i wonder if theyll allow me in if i wear my Batrider tshirt

Remember one thing: I like Mushi A LOT. I'm ready to buy almost anything about that (the first Mushi)
Good luck for with that shirt (though I think you'll receive some heavy hugs from Yagawa)

I can't believe I'm going to miss this. Say hello to Yagawa for me sven!

Wouldn't mind some old-school Cave posters.

Do they make model kits of the ships from various Cave games?

Damn, well, I now have plans for the 28th thru the 30th. A competition for a PCB?! Fuck. Guess I'll have to break some thumbs.

I forgot to add: I will pay you for your efforts.

I need some old school DoDonPachi posters!

Someone should sneak in a gun and steal DDP Campaign version to rip the ROM.

Like that will ever happen...sigh, we'll just have to be happy & content with the standard Dodonpachi arcade PCB till that day comes..... ^_~

Security will very heavy and it'll a take a small covert group of highly organized & armed to the teeth in armored-piercing laden weaponry endowed sexy 'n' busty femme-fatale hotties aka the "DDP-Special Campaign Liberators Front" to pull such an armed arcade PCB heist -- wanna bet how that's gonna be pulled off? Plus, a little revealing T&A won't hurt to get 'em big boys all hot 'n' flustered, hmmm? (Wink-wink) ^_~

PC Engine Fan X! ^_~

So anyone know if they are talking about a reprint of Dodonpachi II/Dodonpachi OST or the Dodonpachi/ESPrade OST? The latter would be tight.

They're not talking about either. Only DDPDOJ/Ketsui and Espgaluda are getting reprints. All the OSTs from the games that came after those (Ibara, Mushi, etc) will be available there for sale as well.

I will be in your cheering section. I suck at DDP. I'm supposed to go to Osaka that weekend for some work bullshit, but I might blow it off (or go a day or two early). Thursday will probably be the best day.

like i said, i will lay my hands on all the loot i can i never make promises on something i dont know i can fulfull so youll just have to wait two weeks and see

GP> i suck att DDP too but i will still give campaign version a good go!! i'll proboably never have a chance to play it again so..

Umm...so no garage kits?

if anyone is going, please pick me up any posters you can! happy to pay

that's good! especially the ESPgaluda ost as i refuse to pay 15k to 20k yen for a cd. hope they will make their way to play-asia as well so i can buy one, too.

regardless this seems like an interesting festival. to all those who are going there: have an indulgent time!

~eretsua.

Seconded. You hear me, people! Grab all the Cave posters for me (and any Raizing ones lying around) and you will have a nice wad of cash and my eternal gratitude in return. ^_-

And pics! If you can sneak a camera in, some photos of the Mushi Futari compo and general stuff would be pretty sweet.

Pics of the DDP Campaign cab and flyers/stuff would be more than nice
