Dodonpachi Resurrection for android?

Post by asdronin »

Hi all,
I have to confess i never liked much android games, mainly due to controls but well you know its many things, the other day a friend mentioned Dodonpachi Resurrection which was released on android, i never tried it nor know anyone who did try, so i thought well lets see, but i see no evidence of it in google store, in fact Cave only sells shmups music there and jn Steam its Pc version, anyone know where i can find the game? Not even lite version can be found but Cave still do exist so its a bit odd. Thanks for any clue about this =)

You're out of luck, for now at least. Years back Cave had a selection of ports for iOS and Android including Resurrection. They all went defunct after a while, iOS being stuck on 32bit devices and Android were pulled from the store entirely. A few months back Cave updated some of the iOS ports, so there's a slim chance they'll bring things back to Android too, eventually.

Unfortunately, lost forever.

You can, however, play Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu, Mushihimesama etc on android if you have a high end phone, through Retroarch and mame(2014) core. I made a topic detailing how this can be done.

Thanks for the information Reckon luck =), I had no idea it was like that, maybe there is luck and they decide to put them up again, makes me wonder why they pulled them out, i mean even though some devices might have troubles running these games they could still set a certain type of device as valid

El_rika, thanks for the information, I will have a look at the topic you made, will be very useful =)

For whatever reason, Cave didn't do their own ports to Android. Those were by G-Gee, who closed up shop a few years ago and delisted all their apps when they did. Pretty sure that means Cave never had the code/rights to the Android versions to begin with, so they'd probably have to port them fresh instead of just updating the apps like they did with the iOS versions. :/
