It's over, CAVE is dead... or maybe not...

"bancho" teaser site

Enough retweets will unlock more clues (until 12/9). The first clue says that it's a new STG app from Cave.

Edit: clue #2 suggests it's called "Ichimen Bancho".

In the current background, you can make out faint words like doom, evac industry, Hibachi, daioujou, and daifukkatsu, among others. They could just be decorative, but they give me the impression that this game (or whatever it is) will be some sort of meta thing.

[GSK]

They already did that once with DDP MAX, didn't they? I guess there's no reason they can't do it twice.

My hunch (based on absolutely nothing) is that it'll be an endless/procedurally-generated game that pulls bosses and enemies from past games.

Well Ketsuipachi is the only title i can think of off the top that features all of those elements kind of.

From twitter:

CAVE's new STG is called "Ichimen Bancho (一面番長)" (1st-Stage Badass), a term for ppl who master the beginning of a game but suck at the rest

[Formless God]

The same text was in the SDOJ regular edition cover, above Maria and Hikari

[GSK]

Oh, right on! Yeah, it's totally SDOJ-related.

Maybe they'll try releasing SDOJ PC and a SDOJ smartphone game simultaneously to see if one bolsters the other. Maybe I need sleep!

[Cagar]

The green ring on the right is also on the SDOJ cover. It's totally SDOJ related. Yay!

I can't believe there's actually a term for this.

[Shepardus]

Maybe it's SDOJ for smartphones but with only the first stage.

I'm totally an ichimen bancho. my list of first stage clears is insaneeeee

[pixelcorps]

Compilation of 1st stages of numerous cave games. easy recycle job. calling it now.

[Shepardus]

Promo site's been updated, I can't read any of this but it appears to be an iOS app with SDOJ waifus called "Dodonpachi Ichimenbanchou." I think the thing at the bottom says that they're releasing their OSTs on iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon?

Edit: Here's some more info, if Google Translate is reading this correctly the app is going to be free w/o microtransactions.

[Tatsuya79]

It doesn't say much more except for the release of those different games OST...
But it says "shooting" and completely free... the hypothesis of a promotional game with a demo of every cave game first level seems possible.

[Satan]

At least I know who I am, now.

[Strikers1945guy]

Maybe it's SDOJ for smartphones but with only the first stage.

First stage only, no ship selection, insane rank right out of the game, extra bosses and TLB, leaderboards.

Who am i kidding cave wont do that

[zeomax]

F2P. Well, it will be the same crap as the f2p version of mushihimesama.

[Cagar]

That wasn't made by CAVE

[CMcK]

The teaser video is up and features no game footage. Looks like we will have to wait until Monday to see what the game is like.

[Tatsuya79]

That video... do they think it appeals to anyone?
Perhaps one director ran away with the marketing budget.

So this is what IKD, YGW and Co. have been doing since; not video games, but a harem in the company's basement.

[Muchi Muchi Spork]

They've made silly videos like this for years and years.

[1up]

waifu bullshit teaser is IKD's doing isn't it?

[Muchi Muchi Spork]

This forum is so pointlessly negative I might bite a hole through my tongue.

[Formless God]

People forgot Akai Katana's first teaser that quickly?

And it explicitly said on the page since yesterday that it isn't a gameplay trailer

It even features no cute asian girls. Only voices and legs. WTF.
