[X360] Mushihime-sama Futari Ver. 1.5 is region free

[Elixir]

Oh man I am stoked for this game to finally get out over here. Been waiting a long time for them to announce a Mushi Futari port. Also a question though. If they are doing a JP Black Label DLC service. Can I log onto my JP account on my US 360 and purchase JP points that way to get the DLC?

If by "get out over here" you mean "is not being releasd outside of Japan" then yes.

[Paradigm]

Is there any way to put Jap XBL Points onto my regular (non-Jap) profile?

I own a PAL European 360, so would the only way for me to purchase the Black Label DLC be to start up a new profile and use my one month free Xbox Live Gold membership as a Japanese customer and add Japanese points to that profile?

you need a JPN account, buy a jpn card from play-asia or ncsx and your good to go. There is help in this thread http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=23501\

btw, you dont need a JPN gold account to buy DLC, just a silver with a Microsoft points balance. You can't use non JPN credit cards, so the prepaid cards are the only option.

[Paradigm]

Thanks.

Do you know if it's possible to change my existing profile into a Jap account or would I have to set up a new profile completely?

[agustusx]

New profile. Besides you don't really want your main account to be a JPN account, once you see the marketplace you'll would understand

[bcass]

The key thing here is that you don't need to be signed-in to your JPN gamertag in order to access the items you've purchased/downloaded with your JPN gamertag. Any gamertag, regardless of region, can access all the JPN content you downloaded with the JPN gamertag so long as it resides on the same 360 (memory card or HDD) that the JPN gamertag resides on.

Thats what makes me happiest. Alright looks like I will just get some point cards from Play-Asia and use those on my JPN Silver Account to buy the DLC when it comes out. Anyone want to haphazard a guess on how much Black Label addon is going to be?

EDIT: Oh and Elixer of course I meant importing it. Just meant thank god they finally ported it to a console. I cant afford the board lol.

[Trevor spencer]

Not unless you have a Japanese credit card. You'll have to use a Japanese Microsoft Points card.

yeah , i just bought my JPN points cards from play-asia , i did have to register before i could use them tho and had to put a fake japanese address is .

[emphatic]

My main/only account is a Japanese one. And no, I don't know how to read Japanese, nor do I speak it. I don't want to be distracted by all the content I'm guessing is on Live! in Europe/Sweden or whatever I'm supposed to be logged in to.

[Momijitsuki]

It would definitely help to at least know hiragana and katakana before diving into a JP account. Just sayin'.

I buy mine via ebay as sellers there will email you the code soon after purchase (send them a message first to confirm that they will).

1200 MSP I reckon.

Could this possibly mean a new announcement from CAVE early next year?

[lawnspic]

PA just charged my Visa for Mushi, hope it is on the way soon

[Momijitsuki]

NCSX hasn't charged mine yet. *sigh*

[Dandy J]

dam nothin yet on mine, but i also ordered on like the 18th

[sjoecool1991]

I actually specifically asked if PA could charge my Visa about 3 weeks ago.
They did, so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

I did this since I didn't even know if I would have the money by the time to game came out, which is good, since I don't thanks to school payments.

[lawnspic]

What really happened is i changed my shipping from economy bubble to UPS express (could not wait, and wanted tracking) I pre-ordered at the end of Sept. It was after the ship change that they billed me the next day. Maybe just coincidence, not sure.

[Dandy J]

What does your order status say? They aren't supposed to bill you until they are 'preparing' the order.

[MADEIRA STEVE88]

so close now!

Japanvideogames have prices that are below that of ebay. All of their other shit is expensive though.

I got a confirmation about my order update, but the estimated ship date is still 11/26. I dont know why they charged me though unless they have them and plan to ship soon with and ETA of around 11/26 for overseas customers.

[spadgy]

Just so people know, the store in London's Goodge Street (Game Focus) is getting some copies in, so you don't have to bother with postage. I think they might have them on the shelf one day after the JPN release date.

[bcass]

Videogameimports will be shipping their copies out within the UK the day after the JPN release too (for anyone outside London and within the UK).

[Momijitsuki]

I checked NCSX again, and it says that their stock will ship out on November 27. The Limited Edition is already sold out, but you can still order the Standard version.

*crosses fingers in hopes of avoiding Deathsmiles LE debacle mkII*

[antron]

For SF Bay shmupers the Santek cell phone shop in San Jose (in strawberry park) will have copies.

[dcharlie]

Any confirmation of those black boxes yet?

Surely some of the people who got sent their product has it by now given they were sent out early thursday?

[Warp_Rattler]

Actually, they're supposed to charge you on the "shipping date." I got screwed over by them when the PS2 Mushihimesama came out--it was back in my single college days, where a lot more money was spent on games, with the leftovers going to giant flats of instant ramen and bulk hot dogs and whatnot. My payday was a day or two before the game shipped, which was a good thing as my account was pretty low at the time. Unfortunately, they decided to charge my card something like 5 days before the shipping date, at which point my bank proceeded to screw me over in a most unlubricated fashion with their wonderful overdraft fees for the game and then petty shit on top of it, like that $2 coffee I dared to get at school before I knew I was overdrawn, etc. The bank as usual was unsympathetic, and the person I e-mailed at Play-Asia was having a hard time understanding my complaint, as I wanted to cancel the whole order right then. I think the game ended up being something like $160 after the dust cleared.

The morals of the story were 1) you really have no business ordering games if you're at risk of bank trouble and 2) if people say they won't charge your card before a certain time they're either goddamn liars or incompetent and should not be trusted in any case. These have been helpful lessons, learned the stupid way.

God I hope not $120 for one game is pushing it already for me. I made my order pretty early on so I hope I'm alright.

Those boxes sure do look black in those photos which is odd to see now. Please bare in mind that I have the worst phone camera in the World and that photo was taken in a dark Post Office corner. Strange.

Some of these look black on camera too:



Anyway, I have no interest in Mushihime-sama Futari Ver. 1.5, do not own a copy to play and I turn my nose up at it in game centres. It was purely a cloak and dagger money making venture. Therefore I will leave it to someone else that knows what they are talking about to post the first impressions and hopefully they can answer the questions that the hardcore fans want to know as opposed to what shade the boxes are LOL.

Still waiting for Ketsui.

Cheers.

If you don't mind I would greatly appreciate if you could explain your feelings on this game. Why do you feel that it was a "cloak and dagger money making venture"?

All games should be money making ventures, as I'm sure the developers would like to eat and feed their families. So the cloak and dagger piece would be key to the question.
