Daioujou BLEX and others will be localized

adversity1 · Post by **adversity1** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 4:35 am

Yes.

That's according to the 5PB rep at the DDPDOJBLEX and Thunderforce VI event today in Osaka. He says they haven't signed on the dotted line with the company yet but it will be officially announced 'at some point'. He said they will be trying to do the same for Ketsui and Deathsmiles.

Also, DDPDOJBLEX has slowdown reproduced within it (noticeable after destroying the rotating tower thing on the first part of stage 1) and they are working hard to maintain slowdown and not get rid of it.

Finally Piper is super easy to chain with given that she's always hypered. Full chained the stage with little effort.

did you play em adversity? hows the graphic looks like? or did they demo it with yoko mode?

adversity1 · Post by **adversity1** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 5:18 am

Yeah played both.

DOJBLEX felt the same as arcade Black Label. Only thing that felt a little different was the EX shot, which felt heavier, like if you tapped shot it seemed like you would get 2 or 3 hits whereas in the arcade version you could tap shot and get 1. Maybe that will get ironed out.

TFVI looked fun to me, and the level design was pretty well thought out. Could not really see what Famitsu was bitching about...but I guess we'll all be able to judge for ourselves on the 30th.

I took video of both games and will try to up it in within the next week.

If this is true then it'd be quite an event, in one way or another...if memory serves, these would be the first Cave ports to make it out of Japan, right?

Guess we'll hafta wait and see...if they are brave enough to try and get these over here intact, good luck to 'em.

get a chance to notice the display options on DOJ/360?

adversity1 · Post by **adversity1** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 5:39 am

It was a demo, so unfortunately there weren't any options that I could see.

Wonder if it's Aksys doing the localization, they'd seem like the type to do it.

I have the same feeling it's Aksys doing the localization.

Aksys did (in my estimation) a pretty decent job of the Shikigami no Shiro III Wii localization, so I'd be pretty keen on getting a 360 if they were behind the releases of these games.

Then again, after Castle Shikigami 2 by XS Games, anything looks like a literary masterpiece.

I'm afraid I'm still going to have to consider my NTSC-U 360 a failure until I hear that someone is bringing over Otomedius

Hey, at least you have Geometry Wars 2, Ikaruga HD, Rez HD, and Earth Defense Force 2017.

Went back and confirmed with the guy. He said the contract has not been signed yet and the announcement may not happen until next year. Still, he said, 'sometime soon'.

So...unless Otomedius is really worth it to you, don't jump the gun on a J 360.

Strider77 · Post by **Strider77** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 7:52 am

so how did it look as is then? was it tate'd when you played it? my major concern is did it look like there was a bunch of filtering going on?

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 7:59 am

This is the most pants hunk of shit release in the arcades in years.

antares · Post by **antares** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 8:34 am

Still if these games get localized you are missing out on RFA and Raiden IV. Also you will have to wait even longer to get them.

For Otomedius, I haven't played the game but the gameplay-videos on the jp marketplace look very nice imo.

Aegis Wing is awful and Earth Defense Force is a shitty FPS

The best original shooter on XBLA is Omega Five imo.

I'm still going to be getting the JP versions, since that's what my console is and since there isn't really any point in waiting for the localization when it'll be released in Asia first.

Not to mention the current Raiden IV and RFA.

EDF isn't an FPS.

Hm, will believe it when it gets official. The only hope for us in PAL lands is 505 Games, but they've been quiet lately with new shooter releases.

Jockel · Post by **Jockel** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 11:29 am

I'm hoping that when they release it in the US, it's region free this time around.
Totally looking forward to this, perhaps i don't have to get a foreign 360 after all.

505 games might be slow as well. For example Aksys have released Battle Fantasia in the US already but it's not due out in PAL regions until June next year according to Play.com

The US versions wouldn't be region free either so that they don't step on 505 Games' toes. Just like the US version of Battle Fantasia which works on US and JPN 360s but not PAL.

Yes, but 505 publishes lots of obscure JP titles that never end up seeing US market. Earlier this year they published A Train HX for 360 in Europe which gives me hope they might be on some other exclusive JP 360 stuff aswell.

E. Randy Dupre · Post by **E. Randy Dupre** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 12:50 pm

Although the A Train localisation was really poor - they cheaped out on the manual, which effectively made the game unplayable for anybody who hadn't already played a previous game in the series.

Not such an issue with shmups, obvs, but a sign of how 505 have really gone downhill over the last couple of years.

ChurchOfSolipsism · Post by **ChurchOfSolipsism** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 1:12 pm

Actually, in a crooked way this isn't such good news. Now I'm totally having doubts as to getting a Japanese xbox and games (this shit is expensive, after all), but what if they don't release them in the US (and even then, do I have to get an American xbox?) after all? Plus I don't want to wait another year or more until I can finally play Ketsui and Death Smiles cuz I'm a filthy consumer whore.
