Sequel to Radirgy - Radirgy Noa

[GaijinPunch]

I got a 5 bil clear in Illvelo. I played Radirgy Noa a few times in the arcade before Illvelo. Got to the end of stage 6 relatively easy. Played Illvelo for a few weeks (never beat the TLB) but was happy w/ my score so put it away. Busted out Radirgy Noa and it's taken me a while to realize that I have no shield as a default. Thus far I've gotten to stage 9 w/ about 110 million, which would make the 2nd extend at 150 mil difficult. I think I'm doing something wrong.

I didn't play the first Radirgy enough to comment on it's difficulty, but it's probably somewhere in that range, requiring more timing & practice than Illvelo & definitely more than Karous.

So can anyone clarify once and for all whether it's Noa or Noah? I'm getting tired of renaming the thread.

[Hydeux]

It's Noa for sure.
I had an email from Milestone (as I don't read Japanese I asked them what I had to do with the code in the box, I've explained this a few posts ago), they said :

Dear Mr. Hydeux,
This is Radirgy Noa development staff.
Thank you very much for checking about Radirgy Noa.

etc...

which would make the 2nd extend at 150 mil difficult. I think I'm doing something wrong.

That's exactly what I thought when I gave the game a few tries ! (my best was below 95 millions)

One of the trains I believe in the 3rd stage boss are has Noa written on it as well.

EDIT: You get 500 mil for destroying the boss on the odd numbered stages. That will likely get you there on stage 8 or 9.

Huuuum... My English is not sufficient here...
You mean the ship between the "real" stages ? 500 millions ???
If that's this ship, there no need focusing on the small fry around it, or just at the end, to get a x16 multiplier.

I definitely have to stop Illvelo and turn my TV to play this Noa !

[GaijinPunch]

Yeah, that's the ship. There's a video on Nico Nico where the guy takes out the ship on stage 7, and gets a ton of points, easily getting the extend. In his notes he mentions the difficulty of the game, specifically b/c the extends are so far apart.

[Hydeux]

Would you have a link for this video ? (I have a nico nico account, but I don't read Japanese and a search for Radirgy Noa gave nothing)
I'd like to know HOW this ship can be defeated : looks like you need ages to make its lifebar drop by a half !

EDIT :
Just gave it a few tries : indeed it's really hard (insane ! but not insane like Illvelo : INSANE !!!), indeed I don't know how to defeat the "interlude" ship (Dreamer09 is its name), indeed the second extend seems to be out of reach...
Best so far : 95 millions, stage 7 (out of 9 I think)
There must be something I don't understand !
Something to do with the sword glowing after a while and then giving you a x2 even if the multiplier is null ? I DON'T KNOW !
And it's quite irritating !

uh yeah but what about the OST

[Hydeux]

True :



Could we assume that for Japanese people Noa and Noah are exactly the same thing ?

[Plasmo]

And I thought it would've been Noir...

[MrPopo]

And I thought it would've been Noir...

I was hoping it'd be Norfair.

uh, romanization? hello?

So apparently you can download some remixes from their website by inputting a password that comes with the game. Has anyone tried this yet?

Edit: Whoops, completely missed that post.

[Hydeux]

And since I spent time to find out, here is where you have to enter the code you found in the DVD box : http://www.mile-stone.co.jp/RANOAHsnd/radirgy_wii.php
It'll allow you to download (twice, no more) a remix version of the OST.

Yes.
Only four remixes, quite long though.

I was wrong there : there are actually 5 remixes to download.

[ShmupSamurai]

What is it with Aida Tadayo? Is she the official mascot of Radigy? Do the creators have a crush on her or something?

yep.

[guigui]

Hum, just got the japanese wii version today and cant make it run on my PAL Wii. When I launch regularly via system menu, I get a black screen and that's all.
If I try to Gecko it, it is the same.
If I try to transfer it on my external hard drive, and load it via USB loader GX, it is the same.
My console plays my other japanese games (Sin & Punishment 2, Tatsunoko Vs Capcom) in any of the three ways mentionned above.

Do some of you have any advice for me ?

For information, here is my current config, just updated this morning :
- 4.1 system menu
- priiloader to region free games

[Hydeux]

You should update to 4.2e, what's the advantage of staying with 4.1e ?
No problem on my 4.2e updated Wii, neither with the original DVD nor with the game copied on an external HDD.

Wouhou Hydeux lui-même !

How do I properly update to 4.2 ? I did update to 4.1 from 3.2 just this morning via pimp my wii but I dont know how to go further... Actually, I dont like to spend time on following those underground updates. I just wanna play those stupidly region-locked games !

Since I posted my message, the games now starts via USB loader GX (I dont know what changed though), but still not from system menu.

[Hydeux]

Wouhou Hydeux lui-même !

Oui, moi je ne rechigne pas à m'inscrire "sur plein de bordels".




Now, for updating a hacked Wii, SciFi is your friend : it will do everything you need !
(you may need to uninstall Pre(ii)loader, don't know actually, never used such (crappy) things... Starpatch is the answer !)

Now it's been out and ported a while, what's the reaction to this game been like (either in Japan or elsewhere)? I like the original Radirgy a lot, and this video has me quite interested... that awesome train section reminds me of Battle Bakraid. Looks like similar Radirgy action with more interesting level designs than the original.

(Hell, that's a dead ringer for Black Heart at the video's beginning)
