Looks like Espgaluda II is coming to 360 aswell

Post by hirounder »

In a fiscal report Cave published today there's little bit on planned releases for so called consumer market, along Mushihimesama and Deathsmiles II they mention Espgaluda II aswell...no platform, but it's safe to guess it'll be Xbox360 again.

I really hope this comes to the 360 and that the port is as good as DeathSmiles was.

too bad I can't read the language, but I'll take it as gospel ;) If this is for 360 that's one more reason to be happy with the investment. I want DFK moreso, but for Cave to reach back and pull this out would be nice as well. give me MMP in 2010 and i'll be in heaven.

This is awesome!

Mushi Futari and ESP 2 were the two Cave PCBs I wanted to buy this year. I can save a lot of money now :)

That's what I'm thinking. I had been strongly considering buying one of these, but I'll gladly settle for a console port. So can we expect a DFK 360 announcement sometime in the next year?

Now someone needs to bump the Esp II thread so we can revisit what people said about it. It's been so long that I only have the vague memory that it's hard and pretty well liked.

Holy shit, that's great news.
I haven't actively browsed/used this forum in many years and it's no longer an accurate representation of me.

I have retired from genre-specific content creation after 13 years, but I'll always love this little genre in my own personal way.

Well, I have a feeling a lot of J360s will be shipping to Shmups Forums members soon.

This is hard to resist, here.

Hopefully the whiners will stop now and just buy that goddamn 2xx bucks x360 thing. Get a Japser unit an it should survive at least 5 years if you only shmup on it make it 7 years...

I'll just go ahead and buy the games as they come out, and maybe by the time I get around to getting a J 360, it'll be more long lasting.

All 4 games I was wanting are now coming out on this. Heck, I was even thinking about getting a cab until I realized I would kick myself for spending so much. Good thing I waited.

It would be cool if they packaged the original Espgaluda with Espgaluda 2. I guess one should be thankful 2 has a good chance of coming out.

Also, I wouldn't fret about the j360. A few bad experiences doesn't mean it will happen to all units.

Yep. This is the title that would get me to buy a jp360.

This is definitely the best game related news I've heard so far this year.

PS2 games don't exactly translate to the 360 easily. It would have to be a near-complete rewrite of the port.

DFK better be 110% perfect since they seem to only want to release it last.

Or just emulate it. If it was on the disc as some kind of bonus extra, I'd happily put up with that.

Emulating a Sony licensed PS2 game .. on the 360.

Yeah, that'll happen.

Kool, I guess Deathsmiles being a success really had Cave see the potential ¥¥¥ that can be gained for CS releases. I suppose that they're slowly getting the older and desired titles out before announcing DFK.

This was rumored last year (along with Mushihime), but it's nice to see that it's coming true. Now where's ESPRade, ESPGaluda 1, and a proper version of DDP?!?! Keep it up Cave, you are my old school new heroes!
