Cave x Steam teaser!

[Xyga]

Doesn't have to be PC-centric press specifically, everyone owns a PC anyway.
And most of the PC games crowd essentially don't give a damn about shmups or anything looking retro.
It'll have more impact on generalist VG websites that do essentially consoles but PC as well.
Then of course every retrogaming, indie, and weaboo corner of the internet.
I'd say one important thing would be to make sure the news get translated to every non-english website and community that counts.

[Ikazu-san]

why not make Cave vs Capcom already

Why would you want DOJ/Mars Matrix crossover?

[HamidoOs]

space ships fighting ryu and ken.

yeah i think that would work out.

Well, that's not impossible, since we've seen Akira (from Virtua Fighter) fighting Hornet (from Daytona USA):

So the success of the Steam release could let Cave make more arcade games, and Deathsmiles is apparently being mentioned quite a bit.

[Squire Grooktook]

If it's Deathsmiles I will cry and then buy it anyway.

[pokemon123]

softdrink likes deathsmiles XD?

hope it isn't. not a fan of hori's

[Special World]

Maybe I'm really dense, but I don't see any mention of Deathsmiles in those pics other than [guy who isn't Cave] saying there've been mentions of Deathsmiles.

[SMC]

Deathsmiles is more like a vertical that fell over than a hori

Maybe I'm really dense, but I don't see any mention of Deathsmiles in those pics other than [guy who isn't Cave] saying there've been mentions of Deathsmiles.

Here are some of the mentions of Deathsmiles that [guy who isn't cave] is referring to.

Some retweets by cave as well:



It's not conclusive evidence of anything, it's just that Cave has mentioned Deathsmiles a lot recently, as [guy who isn't cave] has pointed out.

[Obscura]

Blackbird already confirmed TATE mode, so it's unlikely to be Deathsmiles.

It's one of the Mushis, almost for certain.

I wish it was MMP or SDOJ, though. I'd be interested enough to buy one of those.

[Squire Grooktook]

Yeah, Cave retweeting or responding to something isn't really evidence of what their doing. Their going to retweet basically anything related to them.

[awry]

SOON

But baseless speculation is fun!
[Watch out! Watch out!]

[Tim James]

No more patience! Introduce 1st title now!

[Aisha]

First game is Mushihimesama: http://www.caveshmups.com/mushihimesama/

They're also hinting at a second game.

[pokemon123]

new mode dlc, MATSURI 1.5 PLEASE LET IT BE

[mdsfx]

Yeeeeessss! Holy crap I can't believe it.

[fakeXsound]

Yay! A game I already have on 360!

[NeoStrayCat]

Yay! A game I already have on 360!

Yeah, except majority as it is region locked either way, so this is a nice surprise. No need for that angry look, lol.

Of course that "Watch Out"x2 thing though it was to be anything DDP, maybe that's coming up next? We'll see.

[GSK]

The Japanese PR says the base game will be $19.99 and that 1.5 and the OST will be available separately as DLC.

[BulletMagnet]

Nice to see that more people will have a chance to try 1.5 in particular, hopefully this does well enough to justify additional PC releases.

[brentsg]

Hopefully they'll release the Steam version of Mushi 1.5 bugged so that players can't enter high score initials without paying a bit of extra money to get the game fixed. That'll be the true Cave arcade experience.

[Shepardus]

Here's the press release. Among other things, it confirms that 1.5 will be offered as DLC.

[MrMonkeyMan]

Is 1.5 any good? I really don't like any of the modes in this game.

[kid aphex]

I wonder if they'll support OSX?

I am still bummed that Treasure's Ikaruga port ignored it.

[Muchi Muchi Spork]

Matsuri 1.5 is one of the funnest games ever in my opinion for 1CC play and there's nothing with better skill options of modes. The original game is great too. I don't really know what they are offering. Maybe the 1.5 stuff might be DLC. They need to have original graphics too, even if it's DLC.

[awry]

I wonder if they'll support OSX?

I am still bummed that Treasure's Ikaruga port ignored it.

Steam reports than only 3.22% of its users use OSX. So that would be a waste of effort. I suggest using Boot Camp.

Well, considering so few games offer OSX compatibility, that percentage doesn't surprise me.

[Obscura]

Yep, it's a game I have absolutely zero interest in.

Wake me when they put MMP or SDOJ on Steam (which, for MMP, will probably be "never").

EDIT: I'll just leave this here:

[bytestorm]

teh awesomeness! Mushi+dlc 1.5!
Now I dont need to get a jap x360 again!

(who wanna buy my unused mushi 1.5 dlc code?)

[Eaglet]

I think Mushi will be a great way to kick it all off!
Make sure to include 1,5 with review samples and try to make a push for it with the marketing. From my experience it's one of the most appealing games to newly introduced players.
Try to showcase it and it's difference in previews/trailers as much as possible, not just as a separate footnote.
This is one of the things Rising Star fucked up with the localization of Daifukkatsu where BL didn't get much exposure at all.
