Thanks for the bump; I was going to do it 8)

No announcements have been made yet but you can bet your ass one of the scalper bros are going to sink their fangs into big cotton pantsu and have some nice collector's edition junk for all of us. I'm importing right away, as soon as I can.

New Trailer released for TGS!

This is starting to look like the Cotton equivalent of Ninja Warriors Once Again. Redrawn sprites, new background, new elements... practically a whole new game. Everything about the trailer shows off a great deal of promise, from the reworked UI to the expressive new sprite animations and backgrounds.

Look at that arrange mode, and the absurd multipliers you're wracking up! Cotton 1 with a scoring system? Now that's pretty wild eh :wink:
The Strike Witches font on the new scoring elements is kinda cute. You see who's lending their helping hand.

Has this gone up for pre-order or anything anywhere yet?

I'm worried about those multiplier emblems filling the screen. Is that going to cause issues where bullets get obscured in that mess?

NGL, when I saw the trailer, the UI looked very "Trouble Witches Origin", despite Cotton herself being DLC on there, lol.

Info on the limited edition. I don't see it up for preorder at Play Asia for pre-order, but it says Japanese retailers.

When I posted that, I was tired and distracted.... There is a link in that article for the retailers who are. Thanks tho, I'd probably get it from there.

That's a pretty cool limited edition. Gonna sip whiskey out of that tea cup while I play the game.

That article states ININ Games is doing the localization. Does that imply (or confirm) the physical release is by Strictly Limited?

Unless otherwise, Strictly Limited does their own publishing/printing. An example, The Ninja Warriors Once Again (The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors) had separate physical releases by Strictly Limited and ININ games.

Play-Asia have the regular and LE up for pre-order now as well.

I appreciate them releasing a new teacup... it's a nice throw-back to the MD Panorama Cotton release.

I pre-ordered the regular edition on Play-Asia just yesterday myself!

A new short release trailer just dropped showing off more redrawn graphics, voice acting, and stages.

I'm guessing there'll be a massively delayed and overpriced SLG release alongside a budget regular retail release. That seems to be ININ's M.O. by now. :P

That's why I went with play-asia. There is no reason to shell out for muh-teacup when I can actually have the game a month after it comes out, as opposed to 7 months.

Besides is English truly necessary? I remember the script to Cotton 1, on the pc engine. It's all

WILLOW~ GEH HEH HEH HEH HEH.....
IKU ZOO!

For similar reasons, I got the Switch Japanese version, if a US version comes out, my Japanese one will update with the English translation.

Pre-orders have gone up on SLG, and as expected it's a doozy at €129.99.

Better off just buying the Japanese LE and nabbing some store tokuten like the alternate cover at BEEP.

Just got the notification that my order from Play-Asia has shipped! Just the normal version (I don't need no tea cup*). I'm looking forward to giving Cotton n' co. some proper attention in hopefully a few weeks. Game looks so good.

Yep, just got my shipping confirmation from PA as well. I went with the LE, so teacup inbound.

I'm 90% into this just for the teacup. Excited to play the Japanese PC version of the game.

Is this a totally new Cotton ?

Ohh, it's a redraw of the OG cotton.
Never played it.
Just the Saturn (loved them) and Dreamcast one (beautiful but not as great as Boomerang).
I assume the 1991 OG plays almost exactly like Cotton 2 and Boomerang ?

It includes the Sharp X68k port as well as a remaster of Cotton. The Sharp port is an enhanced version of the arcade release.

I wouldn't say it was massively overpriced (€39.99), but nothing but silence from SLG today while you guys are getting your Asian orders shipped...>_>

Have fun. I'll chime in in May or something.
