The shmups sales/deals thread

[DoomsDave]

I bought that bundle but already own Reflex and DU2 so first person to post that they want them, gets them.

[Squire Grooktook]

I have a friend who wants them.

[DoomsDave]

pm'd the codes

[NeoStrayCat]

Well, I spot with my own eye 2 shmups on sale over at the JP Xbox store (though you'll need a JP 360, IP, and such), DeathSmiles and Under Defeat HD digitally for 1/2 off I assume only for the week of 11/17 only.

Metal Slux X 70% off

[Pretas]

Metal Slug X 70% off

It's DotEmu; not even worth a penny when MAME exists.

[DoomsDave]

Seems to have online co op which gets pretty favourable reviews from Steam users. If it's not broken then that's worth the price alone.

This is for the Metal Slug 3 port, not sure if they improved things for X: The netplay works fine, but is slightly worse than MAME clients with rollback netcode (GGPO, supercade, etc.). I ended up playing the series on emulators with others who bought the port since we always got better latency & less input lag. Such a small difference doesn't matter for most buyers though.

At least the port of MS3 is a hell of a lot better than the one for Xbox Live Arcade..

Raiden IV: Overkill is $12 this week on NA PSN, $10 for PS+ subscribers.

Masterpiece jpg above there, lol
I have to admit, this 'steam' thing largely just strikes me as paying for basic emulation, and it bemuses me the way certain people online constantly eulogise it, but then almost never play the invisible binary code they accumulate on it.

As I type right now, I noticed GAME have copies of Akai Katana for just a fiver... how long before that starts to creep up I wonder.

Huge thanks for this. I've been waiting forever for the price to get around $10, and it finally happened. Nice price as well on Gran Turismo 6 and a few jrpgs.

[zendor118]

Hmmm... GW3, NanoStray and Raiden IV, that's a good amount of gameplay there. Throw in Binding of Isaac and my winter may be completely overrun with shmups!

Picked this up today, partly because I really wanted to play it and partly because if I ever want UFO to bring over Caladrius Blaze (which I really, really do), I figure I should support them in any way possible. Really enjoying it quite a bit, though it took some getting used to the way your ship moves.

[Oniros]

Raiden III and Crimzon Clover WI for $5 each on GOG!

[nosorrow]

Where can I purchase a brand new (regular edition) Ketsui PS3 for the cheapest price? Play Asia? (I read that the game was put in the bargain bin in Japan, so why is it still $50-$60 to import? lol...)

Asia version (?) of Caladrius Blaze at play-asia for 14.99$

I'm so glad I made this thread. Thank you VERY much.

[spadgy]

Just came here to post that deal. What an offer! It is indeed the Asia version, which is region-free/universal.

Hot damn, I paid like $60 for it a couple months ago...

Please let us know when they do the same for Ketsui PS3.

I was just irritated by the cover since it showed the japanese one at first, which resulted in the question mark. They already fixed that though. If people are unsure about what they will get: since it seems to be a japanese language asian version, it will most likely be identical to the japanese one with only a chinese flyer added to the japanese manual and the symbol for the age limit on the front being different. That's at least what the asian japanese versions of other games I got were like.

[zackforbing]

the deal changed back while I was checking out

[Bonus!]

The game is still in stock, and ready to be shipped within 24 hours. It's just no longer available for that price. Shady business practice?

Unfortunately, it seems the sale is supply-constrained. If you go to the homepage, Caladrius still shows up as part of the sale but with a big SOLD plastered in front.

[zackforbing]

it literally changed between placing it in my cart and filling out shipping information. I went to the next page and was just about to click to complete the order when I saw the raised price. pretty shady if you ask me to change the price while it's in my cart and not notify me at all.
