Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

If the Wii could be switchmodded to make that statement true, I'd do it. There are several Wii games which only output interlaced, and none which don't support the component output.

Someone, somewhere, might get inspired by the new PSP having inbuilt TV output. I dunno. We'd want independent rotation settings for the screen and the controller.

I do! I want my demon possessed violent samurai and cool disco space ships and not some pathetic 11 year old pig lolis...
Guess Cave think it's funny and cute. Crazy bastards probably even think that they can create some kind of loli shmup subgenre. Thanks, but no thanks.

Slogan for the West?! According to them, there is no West. I don't hate them, just wish they would stop creating a ghetto inside a ghetto.

With the exception of Chaos Field I wouldn't say they're any worse than Mushihime-sama.

Actually with that game I still have to exempt Chaos Field. Ugh.

It's not any worse than anyone who thinks Mushihime-sama is a good game to play. Hey guys! Let's learn how to use 4 or more autofire buttons and exactly where!

The sequel looks neat, though.

Lol, you obviously don't know much about the game. Did you know the game can be played without autofire? That's the way most people play it.

Anyway, enjoy your Radirgy and Raiden III!

What's wrong with G.rev? Not only are their games technical masterpieces, they also care about originality and diversity. Imo, Cave is just trying to hide their stagnancy with freaky artworks. Reading posts in forums like these makes one believe that by not porting Cave misses out on a good opportunity to make some serious extra cash but the reality is quite different. They're smart businessmen so they know that JP arcades are the main show for their rather small fanbase and not the "console jungle".
They revolutionised shmups with Guwange and the Dodonpachi series and now everything they do is cashing in by perfecting this formula. Nothing wrong with that but hardly the high art of shmup developing...
