even the ESPgaluda II OST which PA thought to be a very fast selling item of which they had limited stock wasn't sold out instantly. it was sold out within a week or maybe two but certainly not instantly. and this was a very limited stock with no restocking option. now i realize that an ost is not the same as dsgame but still...

anyway, i'm happy to hear that the game is still coming...all the silence up till recently had me thinking it might have been abandoned... looking forward to it.

Look at the top Play-Asia sales and you'll see that some games like Ouendan are up there as the top imported games. If something like Front Mission or Kanji Sonomama Rakubiki Jiten can get on the top 10, so can this.

Remember, Bangai-O was also in the top 10, now it's sitting in the top 20. Not bad.

Ketsui Ds will be great to have when the 360 is away for repairs

Ha ha, QFT. Maybe the biggest reason I'm more excited about Ketsui DS than the X360 port is that I have a nagging feeling that even after I've sourced and imported the game, the console and a stick, it could all go tits up.

So it is confirmed for october? are there any good gameplay vids so far?

The best I've seen so far is this. Otherwise, there's the promo trailer and a few more DOOM fights available, and nothing else I know of.

ONE PERSON is working on it.

Quality products take their time. I´d also say that this is a good sign that it WILL contain proper levels, I don´t know what else could take this much time, given that the videos already contained several bossfights. Anyways, I´d rather take a well programmed game than something that´s been rushed out the door - and we all know how perfectionistic Mihara is.

Is everybody sure that "Death Label" really means "bossfights only"?
But anyways:

Can only assume so, since DOJ's Death Label was like that.

Oh, didn´t know that.
Let´s hope that if turns out to be a bossrush game at least the whole soundtrack is included - though I don´t know in which way...

It has at least one level in it, maybe at least two. The focus will prob still be around bosses though.

Well, judging from the trailer the midbosses will be in there too, which would make two bosses per stage x 5 stages plus DOOM = 11 bosses in three (?) difficulty modes = 33 variants. Not too bad, thinking about it.

What the hell is Mihara cooking in that video? It looks like mushroom caps or something, and they just puff up really quickly.

EDIT: LOL

What is Ikeda saying to that anime character?

JoshF · Post by **JoshF** » Fri May 23, 2008 4:44 am

Whatever "ebisen" is. Look like magic pierogis.

Anyone else notice that the DVD features a really bizarre yoko-over-tate superimposed format?

Hey, Mihara, I better be able to pop that thing in my PS2 and play the first four levels of the real Ketsui!

I think it's shrimp chips.

This game looks like ass, but I'll get it for the DVD.

Haha what the hell

I predict this game to become a kind of love or hate classic

The bosses look good. They have obviously cut back a lot on the backgrounds, which makes it seem a little homebrew like.

Etrian · Post by **Etrian** » Fri May 23, 2008 11:02 am

Oh wow that video was great! I didn't even know Mihara had a Youtube account! I'm really looking forward to this... on top of the 360 release, that is.

Signed.
I absolutely crave for a good shooter on the DS.
NEODS helps at least somewhat with Viewpoint, Sonic Wings, Last Resort and Pulstar- but damn, i want some bullets!

I seriously cant stand the waiting time.
Being a console-only-shmuper, i could only experience the PS2 Ports of the Cave games. And there it is; finally an opportunity to play _the_ Cave game ever, without having to shell out 500+$

I played DDP on Mame, it's decent IMO.
