Live stream of the game in action. Now sure how long it's running, but we're seeing some really cool stuff already. I think I also read something about a ZUNTATA performance during the stream...

As of 1:40 PST: JP-language dev Q&A

I missed the Darius Burst part, and now they're doing Darius Gaiden. I guess I'll have to wait.

[Devil REI]

Oh man live Gaiden superplay

Edit: Wow, they're dragging out all the boss fights to raise rank. Pretty neat.

EDIT 2: Oh my GOD that was the most hilariously awful death timing EVER. Now for the G Darius superplay. This is seriously awesome.

[SFKhoa]

goddamn that was some awesome runs there.

So, is Zuntata playing at the moment? I'm seeing some weird japanese trio playing punchi punchi with keyboards and a computer. Jeez, someone get that guy a real hat...

FUCK YES ZUNTATA PLAYING RAYFORCE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, shit, thank you for posting this!!!!

[Devil REI]

Did Zuntata play anything after the Rayforce bit? I drifted off to sleep immediately afterwards

I need to find someone who saved the stream because damn that was awesome stuff throughout.

The song quickly evolved into a medley of a Darius Gaiden boss theme (the one of Fatty Glutton if that was the name of the big fat mecha fish that launches its fins and suddenly "defolds" when you finish one of its sides) but before that they played a bunch of songs, heavily arranged so at times I couldn't recognised the original melodies (especially because I was at work so I didn't want to get people around wondering who the hell those weird japs were). For a moment I thought they were going to play Neon Light Illusion's theme (I forgot the name of the song, the one with the telephone sounds and heavy drumming) but no... the show ended after that. Maybe they played it before.

But it was so great when I started hearing those "bleep bleep doink doink" techno sounds that are a staple of the Ray series. Then the airy surreal overtones of Darius.

I'm really sad I missed this! Did anyone save it?

Somebody at GameSetWatch dug up a link to part of the Zuntata performance at least:
