I just read through a machine translated version of the Story on the official Pink Label page. Erm... wow... O_O

Professor Teresa arrested. (At the end of Ibara)
Someone wanting to marry Prof. Teresa...? (That guy in the flyer with the furry collar, perhaps?)
Rescue mission involving Teresa's daughters...?

I'll let you guys have fun making heads and tails of this one. ^_-

Word for word:
Infoseek wrote:- Previous night Red moon -
Dark room which is not awoke and done yet night also, either.

The light of a lamp begins to illuminate three persons' shadow surrounding a round table.

"-- the time -- ??? and an arm -- considering . -- "
"My leg feels languid recently."

The girl of the twins who wore pretty pink dress talks to the same timing.

"An elder sister -- Please wait a little longer. She is arranged immediately. It is already a little patience. "

The big man who attached the pink mask which is sitting down so that it may receive with them.

Twins' girl arranges and speaks about a breath.

"-- it is really OK -- ?"
"-- well, really OK -- it is --?"

a breath -- exactly . A big man enjoys the sound of their voice and answers.

"Probably, there is no mistake. He is the artificial limb engineer called authority by that edelweiss. "

a person good for the darkness of night -- ??? -- the moon which also gives a person light equally.

The moon which shines crimson like the blood of tonight tends to set now.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

- Referee Rose crack -

"It was charmed! This woman and Teresa Rose are made into my wife! It decided!

It is ? out of which it comes and which is regarded as the ability of her punishment to be performed how far loosely."

The man of one person who grasps tightly and cries for a newspaper with "the violence of Rose Garden", and a title.

The half of the dark skin and a face is hidden in the huge body with the mask, and it gossips with the strong man of the shadow of a SENTOREA country.

The untouchable monster "a big ski slope" and the man called.

It will be the 19th century at the time. A place is Western Europe. people have soared by the new industry of a steam engine -- time.

Machine army corps led by the Teresa rose which appeared suddenly in the edelweiss country "Rose Garden"

Large invasion caused for covering the world with a rose (behind called "violence of Rose Garden"),

It is suppressed by edelweiss country Special Forces.

Mastermind Teresa Rose was arrested and received the judgment by "Western peacekeeping union."

Solitary island [ which appears on the Atlantic Ocean ] "filet NIUMU" Judgment is ?? through which it passes.

The despair over which it passes enough was brought to Teresa only the days which are merely valid on the isolated solitary island where one flower does not bloom, either.

One day which has already said Teresa anyhow what time now is, and cleared up well.

With the background of filet NIUMU, the matter of the marriage of a ski slope tended to be held with Teresa.

It is that ... of NINGEN disliked most and moreover such an ugly man's wife do ...

Fairly severe punishment is invented ...

The ski slope of the smile of the whole face. Teresa of an empty expression.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

- Revival Lamp of the heart -

Teresa's heart moves to a sudden word. Whisper voice which the bottom of the hand of a ski slope whispers to a ski slope.

"... by which Western peacekeeping union headquarters was taken by surprise by small ??? which attached the crest of "Rose Garden"."

In the inner part of a pupil, an again small flame is lighted. (... to which daughters were still alive!)

I do not want to offer me in addition to a rose. But, it is also interesting to make this body into ? at this man's wife, and to promise recovery.

The ski slope was said somewhat lonesomely. Teresa's "companion children or ..."

"It will not respond to negotiation considering you as a hostage ... (-- which cannot be killed, either.) If it becomes!

The Western peacekeeping Allied Forces are ? in slight ???!! My bodyguards Losey future will treat personally!! "

?? of edelweiss, a SENTOREA country. Black smoke which covers Western peacekeeping union headquarters. And shrill voice.

"?? -- ??? -- victory [ of May Day ] - [!! ] -- " -- "-- headquarters sinking ! ? -- ???- "

?, "favor or NEE of assistance of me! By the way, MAMA is where ?."

"... (Probably, it is decided that it will be the favor of children's performance which WATAKUSHI made ...) "

A race gives an order. The "May Day MIDI", "KASUMI", "SHASUTA"!

"A mama is already the Atlantic Ocean filet NIUMU island. us -- from now on -- "!! which carries out Teresa Rose recapture duty""

"The yes ! rose"!!

Do four sets (blade) of ?? which shine to ?? tear apart empty again, and they dye the world a rose still more?

Jiji, I'll never forgive you for banning my gay accounts from IC.
Icarus wrote: I assume the bars at the bottom of the screen relate to the charge attack, right?
That's right. It's not an attack exactly, though.

The game uses 2 buttons. The first button is the shot and the second is the option. You hold it down and a small shield appears in front of your ship. Meanwhile, the shield gauge (that's what it's called) charges. While it charges the shield gets bigger. When it's fully charged you press the shot and you unleash one of those attacks you see people use constantly in the videos. The attack depends on the girl you have selected. One of the girls has this huge fat beam that stays in one spot for a few seconds and fries everything, another girl has this expanding shield that covers half the screen, kills everything inside while at the same time it protects you... the other two I don't remember right now.

I took some notes, I'll be back later with more details...

edit:
If, on the other hand, you have an empty shield gauge and you keep both buttons pressed at the same time, then you fire off some sort of constant beam the shape of which, again, depends on the girl you have selected.

I like how the player ships are heavily based on the boss machines from Ibara.

Yeah, I noticed that. Like Shasta's ship looking like a mini version of her bat-winged monstrosity from Ibara. I'm not quite sure how they'd do all the mini versions for each girl though, since Midi's original vehicle was giant tank, and it would look quite strange to see a tank floating across terrain (or better still, high up in the clouds) ^_-

The game does look good, I'm getting excited all over again -_-;;

By the looks of things, all five girls are in there, except Midi and Meidi are double-teaming, piloting Meidi's twin-propped airship. The ships are pretty dinky though, Kasumi's ship looks pretty funny ^_^

Look at all those lovely homing missiles! My guess is that the little numbers next to the character portraits are RAPID-FIRE settings, like how the rapidfire is numerically displayed in Bakraid.

Someone, please be at AOU with a nice camcorder! I'll willingly stump up some hosting for the loketest footage and snapshots ^_-

You know, I'll be there, but I don't have a nice camcorder. Just a Cybershot camera. Also, do they allow filming at AOU? Because they never do at location tests. I was just lucky no one caught me.

Those shows depend on the booth -- most don't. Cave didn't at the AM Show, but I got a good bit of video. I will be in town that day -- you want to head out there together? Do you still wake up at 15:00?

I went to TGS in September, and while at first I thought that I'd need to go twice to see everything, in the end one day was more than enough. AOU is much smaller, I doubt you'll want to go back a second day.

I am up for meeting anyone who wants to go, and I am flexible as to which day.

I always go on the business day. Far less people to deal with-especially if you want to make a killing on the free promo stuff.

Oh! Gotta make time for the booth babes! (Cave's Reko/Midi will forever hold a place in my heart)

I am fine w/ just going on one day. While there are way fewer people on the business day, I never seem to sort out a pass before hand (I didn't know I'd be around during the show until a week or so ago). I'm also likely going snowboarding w/ my borther-in-law on the Friday as well.

I'm sure we'll bump into you out there. I was able to spot you at the AM Show.

I finally finished that Exelica+PinkSweets article I was writing. It contains my impressions on both games as well as a lot of side stories and little things that happened during the events. Myself, I find those at least as interesting as the details about the system, power-ups, etc.

It weighs in at over 3000 words, so you've been warned. At least that page is not just a collection of pics and videos anymore. It looks better with words I think.

Sorry, I posted it before that's why I didn't include it again. Here it is. The videos are now mixed with the text, but look for red font and you'll see them.

You now, I made a video of her (I mean actually playing the game--I wasn't stalking her:), but then I had to delete it to make space on the memory stick for the other guys who were playing better...

I bought a larger memory stick for Ibara Kuro, but she wasn't there.

I'd imagine that is simply a promotional video (much like the ESPGaluda II one).
