You know, if Treasure had come up with this game, no one would be making such a fuss. Seriously, look at that flier. It screams "I AM A TREASURE GAME. WHOO-HOO, WHOO-HOO, WHOO-HOO, NYUK, NYUK!"

But I'm still disgusted. Barf.

If only pigs had fur, eh?

No, the art on the girls is disgusting. I don't mind the cartoony characters around her, just the way she is drawn. Double Barf.

I'd love to hear the backstory on this one...

The word "Fetish" comes to mind.

I'm at a total loss for words, apart from the words used to express that I'm lost for words, and the words used to explain that last part and this part too.

The lunacy of judging a game by it's artwork:

Does it say something about me that the first mental image this inspired from me was some guy in a trenchcoat handing some gal a huge suitcase full of bacon and sausage patties in a darkened parking lot somewhere?

The girl (...I think) with the blonde hair and white bandana above the piggy cutey is a parody of Marco Rossi, Metal Slug's main hero.

A classic example of bad box art - we´re not talking about butchered, western-erized game illustrations though, but about the original concepts for the game. You wouldn`t judge Shiki2 by it´s M(i)LF "Charlies Angels" US cover since the original art is fine. What we are talking about now is what the game designers idea of how the game should be represented.

How can Cave make more money by using sexual themes in their more recent games? Now I know that sex usual helps sales on most games like fighters and third person action games but all you'll be seeing is an inch long sprite of a girl. Theirs so much porno and hentei that the japanese public can access why would they feel more inclined to play sexually oreinted shmups? I mean don't they play shooters for intense focused gameplay, why not just watch some hentai later after dodging some bullet hells. I mean why is their such a demand for games with T and A when it's already a culture over saturated with porno, Heck prostitution is legal.
in Japan. I can kindoff understand the urge for game makers and artists to create their fictional dream girls but why would it boost a small game developers sales so much?

Maybe this is because of the male veiw that their can never be to many hotties and no matter how many hot animated girls they see having them just look a little diffrent is enough to satisfy them.

For the record I like the art in case your wondering.

I'm getting Game Tengoku vibes from the flyer. The main character looks like the shopkeeper in Game Tengoku in a more casual state.
Wonder if MMPork! will run along similar themes and visual styles.

The PAL MM1 box art was just downright awesome. though the US one was dreadful.

the US MM2 box art was... ugh.

this was the ultimate epiphany of terrible boxart.

now, all judging aside, I find the poster isn't really that bad. also, I feel that Cave chose the artist out of the fact his art is a bit wonky, and also the girls he's drawn on his site look a bit pudgey due to lack of proper skill. wouldn't you agree?

You're just jealous because one of your legs isn't on backwards.

I really want Box Art Mega Man to be a character in a Capcom fighting game. or at least MUGEN

PS: It's epitome, not epiphany.

I like how some people are getting turned off by the explicit artwork.

Is that a chicken with a gas mask I see bottom center?

That's effin' awesome.

The official site has been updated with the "Pork Story":

Still no game screenshots yet!

The next site update will be on 2/19.

I found a screenshot on Cave's AOU page!

Looks like Pink Sweets\Ketsui or DDP(cuteness+military)

from the looks of it its not going to be 100% cute em up wich is nice.

mainpatr1 · Post by **mainpatr1** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 4:20 am

There's also a brief interview on that page.

This is what I got with Babelfish.

The latest game, it is what kind of feeling?
You callstalwart mechanic VS rod rod キャラ of Ikeda Bali Bali, it seems like whether you display the present shooting market quite of, in other words straight ball you have a match swiftly and the ちゃ are and are! Is? It does quietly, please solve.

- For you the "rod rod"?
If you mentionthe Ikeda rod rod, if you mention the fat and the fat, the lard, in other words the lard attack highest! Is? Thank you. One time please try by all means.

- Please teach favorite the meat.
Ikedaof course it is the トリ meat. The bird influenza is 憎. Perhaps doing, the air being able to read, increase it is?
*************************************

It looks like Ikeda's doing this one, not Yagawa. Also, what the heck does "bird influenza" have to do with Cave shmups!?!?

Judging by the type-face used its definitely the Pink Sweets/Ibara guy.

Except for the bomb-stock. Maybe it is a mix?

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 5:07 am

Yeah, it could be a Yagawa-Ikeda collaboration. That would rock.

I also noticed the scores are below the "1P", "TOP" and "2P" fonts, while Yagawa's recent Cave games always have them on the same line. Could mean this one is higher scoring.

Maybe Cave has been lobbied by the pig farmers in Japan to promote pork as a safer alternative. The end boss must be a giant chicken or Colonel Sanders. But in maniac mode, the true last boss is a cow. A mad cow.
