Noob-like question about ESP and Pink Sweets

Sorry if this is a really noob question to ask, but did ESP Rade, Espgaluda II, and/or Pink Sweets-Ibarar Sore Kara ever get a home conversion? I've recently been back into shooters after only casually following the genre for the last few years and I'd love to play these...though I presume they are all PCB only. Which is a bit odd especially for ESP since the 2nd ESP game got a console release but seemingly not the first or last.

None of those did, but I wouldn't be suprised if you saw some of them (or maybe something newer like MMP) make it to consoles in the future as Cave seems to be reaching out again to console manufacturers with the release of Ketsui, Deathsmiles and DDO DOJ BL.

I was afraid this was the case. Oh well. I agree though the recent announcement of Ketsui, Dodonpachi, and Death Smiles is encouraging. Actually that's partially what got me wondering about the games I mentioned.

PS Cool avy. I wasn't award of any Gunbuster SD figures being released...or is that a garage kit?

To play such an ESP.ra.de PCB the way it was originally meant to be with a Japanese candy cabinet is the best way do to so. Much better than if you were to play it on Mame, Mame32, etc. ^_~

Or you could get a Supergun along with a cheap-ass RGB monitor and take your pick of any of three PCBs your heart desires...doesn't get any better than that. ^_~
