In a perfect world, which cave game would u like to be porte

PsikyoPshumpPshooterP · Mon Mar 06, 2006 11:12 pm

Ketsui or Espgaluda 2

and why?

I voted for Ketsui becuz its the only game i have ever regret selling but never possibly be able to afford it..unless its ported!

Ramus · Post by **Ramus** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 11:15 pm

Ketsui because I have Galuda II.

Progear.

MadSteelDarkness · Post by **MadSteelDarkness** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 11:50 pm

ESP Ra De / Guwange double pack!

But, given the two options available, I'll say Ketsui.

Now that would be nice!

esp ra de yes, i would pay $100 for a 1:1 port.

Yes, a port of Progear would be beautiful! A horizonatal (for once) manic shmup, and by cave, would do wonders if ported.

Either way though, I'd choose Ketsui. Since I can't afford the PCB, I really, really would like the chance to experience Ketsui properly on a console.

Another vote for Progear.

Uo Poko.

I'm pretty sure Espgaluda II will be ported to the PS2, so why bother voting for it?

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 12:48 am

Yeah, ESPGaluda II is almost guaranteed a sub-par port, like it's SH3 brethren.

Progear!

And, admittedly, the Cave/Taito Ports are getting better!

ArrogantBastard · Post by **ArrogantBastard** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 1:04 am

Ketsui and Progear.

LSU · Post by **LSU** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 1:27 am

ESP.Ra.De !

Progear. Being a horizontal shmup, it's incredibly well suited for consoles.

Dandy J · Post by **Dandy J** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 2:55 am

Which would I rather play? That's a tough choice. But from a realistic standpoint, ESPG2 is going to get ported, and Ketsui might never be. So I'll choose Ketsui.

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 3:15 am

Judging from the ESPG2 replays I've seen, I am really going to like this game if it gets ported to the PS2. From the music, to menacing enemies (they just look more aggressive and so much better in this game than Galuda), to the backgrounds, this game is shaping up to be a Cave masterpiece.

With that being said, I am siding with other members here and saying its a probable port to the PS2, so I would rather have Ketsui. I really want to play this game! Is there someone in the St. Louis/Kansas City area with a pcb???

gameoverDude · Post by **gameoverDude** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 3:33 am

I'd like to see them both on PS2. Even if I have that PCB, I'd be interested in a PS2 Ketsui for any arranged modes or extras that turn up in it. ESPGaluda II is less of a longshot and will probably happen anyway, so I'm voting for Ketsui.

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 3:56 am

This poll is rather silly because Galuda 2 is a sure-fire port for Summer 2006 (I'd expect to hear an announcement of the port within the next month), while Ketsui is a 4 year old game which as time goes on has its only chance of a port being either as a "CAVE SHOOTING COLLECTION" combo pack or perhaps in 10 years some "CAVE MEMORIES" collection with all their games compiled on a Playstation 4 MAROON-RAY disc.

A better poll would be Ketsui vs. Dangun Feveron vs. Progear.

I would Second that some time ago, but with a Progear PCBs laying within my room now, I wish them to port something I haven't got yet.

Post by **BulletMagnet** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 6:17 am

I haven't played Ketsui or Galuda 2, so I can't really compare them to the Cave stuff I have played...offhand that Ra.de/Guwange pack sounds nice though, heh heh.

Ord · Post by **Ord** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 7:32 am

I voted Espgaluda II, ideally ported by Arkia. It just looks more interesting than Ketsui, which is WAY overhyped.

Lone Deranger · Post by **Lone Deranger** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 8:48 am

Dangun, then Progear, then Ketsui and while they're at it Esp.Ra.De. and Espgaluda II.

Come on PsikyoPshumpPshooterP... add a few more Cave options to that poll.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 8:49 am

I guess this is as good of a forum as any to bring it up... if the same crew that ported Mushi (and presumably Ibara) do ESPGaluda II, it will suck donkies. Those that have played it know --- the slowdown is CRUCIAL to the gameplay. Not just the actual slowdown by kakusei mode, but I mean real slowdown, due to a bazillion bullets on screen at once. If it has that "strobe" effect that Mushi has, my heart goes out to anyone that wants to clear it.

hi all, first post from newbie / lurker / past member here

all the people that want to play ketsui (includes me) should just chip in and send a board to The Guru (its on the 'wanted' list), that way the game will eventually be available in mame. just my 2 cents, as the port probably aint happening...

Skyline · Post by **Skyline** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 1:18 pm

Another vote for Uo Poko.

Even Mushihimetama would suffice.

well if he gets the board and dumps it, it does not mean we will see the game soon in MAME

he is also looking for galuda 2 und ibara PCB, but these game will not see the light for a long time

ill6 · Post by **ill6** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 2:16 pm

But PGM hardware (Ketsui, Espgaluda, DDP DOJ) has not been cracked yet has it so even if he had a board it would take a while I guess.

I don't think that the typical Mame PC could cope with the above games.

My vote is non of them as whichever one will only result in the usual low res 10 page discussion and I will eventually get Galuda 2 on PCB.

Zweihander · Post by **Zweihander** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 9:05 pm

ESPGaluda 2. Because Tateha and Ageha (female forms) are even sexier this time around.

sffan · Post by **sffan** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 9:40 pm

Ketsui, because it's not in MAME or console.
...And Espgaluda II will be ported anyway, even in a non-perfect world.
