anyone knows how to play this without japanese cellphones? the combo between ddp and doj bullet pattern + hyper makes me drool.

No idea, but that's hella cool. I also would totally play that on my cellphone if I could, though I can't imagine any cellphone game ever controlling particularly well, and so I think I would get frustrated pretty quickly. Besides, no phone is ever going to match a cab, console or PC, though games like this come close to handheld gaming platforms...

you need a japanese telephone and then you subscribe to the game on a weekly (?) basis.

From what I've heard, I don't think you're missing much. Though the new Cave cell phone game 'Switch' sounds intriguing, like a cross between a browser RPG and a shooter.

The so-called "micro transaction" buzzword is where the big money to be made...and if it fills Cave's coffers, that's good enough for them. ^_~

i wonder why they dont realize that there is quite a lot of ppl overseas that would pay good money for what they make, and so, they should release some of those babies on platforms that are used around here!!... shit, even tho i know that playin those on a cellphone's gotta hurt, i'd love to have at least one of those with that quiality.... now, if its not possible, well, i still have a PS2 and a NTSC-U X360... but well, thats too much to ask for them anyways

sometimes i evny the jap. market.

you actually have to pay for CREDITS on the cave mobile games, I was gonna get espgaluda for my s0705i and read the ridiculouosly long terms and agreements and thought 'fuuuuck that'

joeboto · Post by **joeboto** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 10:33 am

how much per credit you havta pay for cave cellphone games?
100yen per for arcade as we all know.

Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?
hacking the phone, RGB out to monitor and connect an arcade stick

If we lived in Japan.

considering how those vids looked i dont think we want to see what that would look like on a 20+in monitor

still.....i wouldnt play them, but i would like to see them available to western markets.....same goes for caves whole line up.....

The cell phone screen must be pretty big for a cell phone screen.

i cant be bothered logging on to the site, as the agreement terms are ridiculously long but you buy them in groups of something.. you get some credits when you get the game, but it doesnt seem worth it as keitai vursor keys are just as bad as any other celphone.. looks pretty but just not worth it for the money...

They are all crap.

However, you have options. If you're going to play the games regularly, you can pay a monthly fee and play them all (as long as they're compatible w/ your phone... lots of compatibility issues though).

Once again, they all suck massive dick. Nobody is missing anything.

Just out of curiosity, what makes them so bad?

For its platform, the keitai port of ESPGaluda 2 looks (and for that matter, sounds) relatively good in action from the Youtube videos. It's a shame about the cursor keys however- shame there's no special Neo-Geo Pocket Color type mini-stick for cell phones.

Paying a monthly fee to play them all doesn't sound too bad. It would be a far cry from having 360 or PS3 (hell, even PSP) versions, however. PSP has the same 32 MB RAM limit as PS2, so I'd be willing to settle for some graphics compromises and downsampled sound there as long as it plays the same as the PCB.

If Ketsui were being ported to PSP instead of PS2, I think the required compromise would've been a less bitter pill. You'd expect more of a console version- which has to be what made Mihara can the PS2 version.

Games run at like 3fps. And of course, the keypad controls.

Ewww. Shame on you, Cave.
I expected the keypad controls to be an issue (along with hard to see bullets because of the small screen), but 3fps is so lame. >_>

If the GBA SP and the GBA Micro can play some games at 60fps, wouldn't be better to develop such a cool Cave portable shmup app for said hardware? They both already have dedicated d-pad controls and action buttons in place. (Of course, overclocking the GBA's CPU will result in shorter battery life...that is a given.)

they wouldnt develope for such machines, since they need to milk users with their fucked up microtransaction shit... and even then, the PSP and the NDS are capable of doing it (the microtransaction thing, i mean)... so its just that they dont fuckin care about those plattforms.

Mobile phone user base is about 100x that of either handheld.

Do you think there's any chance of these ever being hacked and emulated??

Just seemed like it might be a way for me to play ESP2 sooner than 2018 when it is emulated in MAME
