Xbox 360: Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu 1.5 (November 2010)

[moozooh]

Yes, in January. It's awesome.

[nZero]

It's awesome.

I still need to try the post-patch version! Same mechanics just rebalanced, right?

Honeslty, Arrange A and Arrange B are the only reasons I'm holding onto ver1.5.

[moozooh]

Not sure; I didn't play it pre-patch. So far it seems to be: grind rank as high as possible in green mode, use red/blue as necessary, get high scores in the process.

[whoozwah]

So to give you an idea of my skill level at shmups, today I 1cc'd Black Label novice for the first time after practicing it on and off for like a week. Wide shot, bomb style, autobomb on. Next I'm going to work on doing that with autobomb off. Then using strong style instead of bomb style. Then moving to Black Label mode.

So earlier this week I got a "version 1.05" patch for DFKBL retail. What does this affect?

I haven't downloaded that patch yet, but I think that's the one that fixes broken arrange mode replays, and possibly a few other bugs.

apparently you can no longer move the camera to the up skirt position, thus making your 85$ shooting fodder absolutely useless. xD

Was there any particular reason for not just releasing DFK, BL, and ketsui-mode in one disc? Just now getting around to buying it, but why do I have to pay 110 dollars for 3 versions of a game? ;_; Seems kind of silly :s

(this is correct, yes? 1.5 isn't available on the black label retail, right?)

It's more money that way...

DDP DFK Black Label Package Edition contains three modes: Black Label 360, Black Label Novice and Black Label Arrange (Ketsuipachi, Daifukketsui... whatever you wanna call it).
The BL 360 and BL Novice modes are identical to those that can be purchased as the DLC for DDP DFK ver 1.5. The bonus to purchasing the package edition is getting BL Arrange as well as another 1000 cheevos instead of an additional 250 (in the case of the DLC)... and having the content on an actual disc. With all of this, your mileage may vary. But most people who purchased the BL Package Edition did it to play the Arrange Mode.

I received my copy today as it was going for a decent price and was quite surprised to find that I actually have the DLC code for 1.51. I'd have though that given the age of this game that the first print stocks would have been exhausted by now.

All I need now is an Asian 360 to play it on XD

Finally starting to get the hang of this. The hidden route is awesome, now that I can finally get in.

Stage 5 is giving me the smackdown every time. I usually get there with bombs and 2 lives, but those laser-shooting pods are just nuts.

Stage 4... there are so many things to blow up! Even the boss has extra stuff to blow up (her... booster rockets!)

Oh yeah, love that stage 4 boss. Such a dramatic fight.

I think I mighy hyper too often for my own good.

[Raiden Gekkou]

I've been wondering something. I've noticed that the commander of the DonPachi Corps is known by 2 names. I hear him called Schwarlitz Longhena, or Longhena Gottvin. Which is it?

[moozooh]

Godwin Longhener, isn't it?

[jammiejay85]

I received a DLC card with mine do you need a Japanese account to activate the code just wanted a confirmation on this? I am keen to try out Black Label Mode. There might be an expiry date aswell just wondering as i've only had the game a couple of months.

[ptoing]

The DLC you get with the game is version 1.51 which is meh. I do not think the codes expire if you do not use them.

Black Label is separate DLC, not passed out with a card.

And I am fairly certain you need a Japanese account for both in this case.

[roker]

And I am fairly certain you need a Japanese account for both in this case.

Nope.

No Japanese account needed at all. The DLC can be found in the US Marketplace.

You can enter the code online on your computer (through the XBOX 360 portals) or through the system itself.

At least that's the way I did it.

Are you confusing Daifukkatsu for Futari? Futari Black Label is available on non-Japanese stores (since it's region free), Daifukkatsu Black Label isn't.

absolutemente.

I guess I'm allowed one goof.

[jammiejay85]

Yeah I did think I would need a Japanese account to play it. I might set one up at a later date and try it but i'm still enjoying 360 and Arrange A too much at the moment though. Thanks for the help anyway.

hey guys, im new to the forum and this is my first post =] just have a question about dodonpachi daifukkatsu for xbox 360. Does TATE mode fill the entire screen? or are their still bars around the game window?

The PAL release is coming out soon and I'm wondering whether or not i should get it!

If you are on a 4:3 display, it'll fill the entire screen (though some zoom manipulation may be necessary). If you're on a 16:9 display, there will be artwork on the top and bottom. If you're on any other sort of display, black bars will fit it to the nearest of these two.

Probably should have shoved it into the PAL DFK thread instead? ^^;

[BulletMagnet]

I doubt that this will mean much to very many here thanks to the PAL version, but apparently Japan will be getting a Platinum reissue of this one.

[mirkvid]

Dang, i need to get on the ball. I got this the day it came out (JP Vers) and still don't have a JP X360...

[Casper<3]

I love this game!

You deff need to get on the ball. Coughing up the cash for a J360 was the best gaming decision I ever made.

[Jeneki]

Platinum reissue for 1.5, Black Label, or both?

[BulletMagnet]

I'm not sure, I only heard the Platinum existed when I got an update email from P-A. If I had to guess I'd assume that it's just a straight reissue of the "regular" game, but then again maybe they'll throw BL on there like they did with Deathsmiles - not sure if there's much concrete info out there for it yet.

[Dazzyman]

I bought the JPN version and BL when they came out and rebought em to play on my UK machine other week
