Somebody needs to inform the fine folks over at CocoEBiz about this.

No use, Cave strictly forbade CocoeBiz/VGM World to provide Cave STs for international fans since Mushihimesama pre-orders got cut short by Cave.

They couldn't get Ibara, ESP 2 and Pink Sweets. We'll have to hope that Play-Asia will have it eventually. Hopefully they will be more timely in their delivery than Pink Sweets. Otherwise.... if you have connections in Japan

I got my ESPGaluda II CD & DVD through them. Cave can't forbid Cocobiz from buying shit. They just have to wait in line like everyone else. Cave traditionally allowed each Ge-sen Yokocho customer to reserve 5 copies of whatever item they were selling. I assume Cocobiz had a few people do that.

I might join Ge-sen Yokocho to reserve some.

GP -- Put me down for 1pc.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 1:05 am

I'll see what I can do. There's no official announcement from Cave yet. I got the scoop from Danmaku-gata who got it from someone else. If they have the standard Ge-sen Yokocho members can preorder 5 pcs, then I'll join. If it's just one, I will probably just test my luck when orders for mere humans start.

Alles Gute. Let's see how they roll it out this time.

I'll just get it off YAJ.

The last few items traditionally went through the roof a few days after launch.

It seems someone has finally finished the game on one credit. The 2ch forums have numerous posts on the subject. If any of the Japanese speakers are bored, maybe they can translate some of the details.

Can we still trust 2ch?

I assume you're referring to Ultra mode?

zlk · Post by **zlk** » Thu Mar 29, 2007 9:01 am

Yes, I am talking about finishing ultra mode. Finishing the other two modes would not be newsworthy.

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 4:16 am

It seems SWY did the ALL in Ultra (not a big surprise). Apparently, here are the new high scores:

Original mode: 505,956,758
Maniac mode: 950,569,417
Ultra mode: 2,706,177,212

Pretty sure all were done with Normal Reco. This info is still just coming from 2ch, so don't take it as set in stone. Will have to wait for the new arcadia to confirm.

I'm still lost on how the scoring system works with this game, but at the minute I'm too busy just trying to 1CC it on Original to worry about it.

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 8:04 pm

Scoring in Original mode is simple: whenever possible kill stuff with the C shot when the 100 digit on the multiplier in the upper left of the screen is between 0-4 (it's colored green during this time), and kill stuff with the A shot when it's between 5-9 (it's colored blue during this time). This will give you large gems, which make your multiplier go higher faster. Try not to die, and you rake in big points as you go along. Every time you die your multiplier goes down by 25%.

Also, try and kill enemies when you're close to them, the gems will glow green and will give you twice the value of normal gems, increasing your counter even faster.

I soon as I wrote that last post I clicked on the other thread you made in the strategy section, all very useful thanks! I'll drop a couple of credits in today and try it out.

I have to make a new strategy thread for ver 1.5 though. There are some big differences between the two versions.

Damn I want to play this so badly

, but I would have to start on Maniac first, since I still can't 1cc the first one on Ultra

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Sun Apr 01, 2007 8:00 pm

SIN has posted stage 3 and 4 Maniac mode vids:

http://sinmoon.sakuraweb.com/movie.html

Stage 3 is 142mil, stage 4 is a whopping 150mil.

I haven't downloaded the files yet as right now his site is down due to the heavy downloads of these files, but keep checking it today and tomorrow and it should pop up again.

EDIT: Link is working now

1.0 seems to have been completely replaced with 1.5, so I guess thats the standard now. I noticed a sign stuck to a few 1.5's that said "this is in answer to those who think modern shooters are too difficult", so presumably they made the update easier?

I was surprised by the gentle learning curve in 1.5, at least compared to the first level of (say) Esp2.

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 4:25 am

Yeah, 1.5 is more balanced and Original mode is easier overall (though stage 5 is actually harder in 1.5 than 1.0). Maniac is a little easier too (but not much). The extra Ultra mode thrown in (absent from 1.0) is the definition of "hard as hell" though.
