Depends on alot. If Cave are investing heavily in new technologies those share prices are going to fall. It all depends on where the money is going and how many bad decisions are being made.

If Caves arcade division is the most profitable division, then you won't see any change there.. Unless someone buys them out of Cave, like Playmore

Or not. If ports were actually worth it (i.e they made enough money to justify the operating expense that goes into creating them) they wouldn't have stopped doing them. They clearly did, so...

Also without any real info you can't say anything about the state of the company. Plenty of really solid companies report losses (sometimes extraordinary ones...) due to various one-time charges or massive internal infrastructure/technology investments.

Cave is actually somewhat diverse, so maybe they had to spend a bunch of money to re-tool their bead making facilities!

R&D for the new Ibara Love Bead set. I think they might even have thorns on them.

No offense, but as someone who sells custom made superguns on the side, isn't your opinion a bit biased? I mean, ports=no need for $300 guns, right? And its not like Cave makes any revenue off of the used market, who are pretty much the type of people who would be interested in a supergun in the first place.

just FYI, I dont sell superguns anymore and I havent sold one sine about 6 months ago.

Looks like it's not worth commenting on this stuff anymore, definitely a sore point for some non Ketsui owning gamers on here :/

I own Ketsui and I would still like to see a PS2 port.

Well that's because you're a normal human being who doesn't buy games in the naive hope of retiring to a remote tropical island on them.

This is what I tried to say... can only be a good thing to make this accessible for a greater number of gamers. I will still buy a port since it's a damn worthy game IMO.

Then again I got my PCB relatively cheap, for less than what zakk paid even, but it's not like I am about to sell the board at all. Market value is only meaningful for items potentially entering the market. Not all Ketsui owners are geek stock market traders. Some of us actually play the damn game!

Anyway, this is getting a bit off topic with flames coming from all sides. I honestly can't even tell which side some people are on.

RyanDG · Post by **RyanDG** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 4:18 am

^ Yeah. When it comes down to it, the more people who get the opportunity to share Ketsui love is better in my opinion. That's pretty much all I'm trying to say really, so I'm going to just leave it at that.

I'm all for a PS2 port myself. Even if it was on MAME I would like a ps2 port.

wtf...i said nothing about jealousy. sounds like people are just upset that the game isnt a reasonable price yet (which is understandable). geeze, relax ppls.
