Watched a bit more last night. Have to say I liked the huge coin items you get as your coins increase in value. Do the coins function like medals?

The size is dependent on what you kill and if you are at max count or not. I think the value is +500 for tiny, +1000 for normal, +2000 for huge, with your current count factored in somehow. You get nothing but huge ones once your count is maxed out obviously.

It's not really like medals because it never goes down. It's very similar to MBL.

Two secret characters have appeared. Also, difficulty modes have returned but only a harder difficulty:

Now I will be extremely surprised if nobody counter stops the game.

What's up with this game? Everything active is covered with white squares, and it takes about a minute to load. I messed with the config but it's still the same. I can't even take a screenshot, it's just a black screen.

I had a lot of graphical issues with it back when it first came out but nothing since it was patched. It might not like your video card or drivers or something. Also make sure you didn't fuck up a patch or something, that all the datafiles are in the right place.

Too pastel. isn't it

I might suffer from visual disorder during the gaming.

The main thing is how it make us excited.

It's interesting that it can run on such a low end machine.

The game itself is a lot harder than the PC version.

Sorry I have no idea how this game was received in Japan.

I found the official web site http://www.bouken.jp/pd/tw, can anyone tell me if there is any info there about the activation of the 2 extra characters ?

I don't see anything on the website about unlocking hidden characters, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough or something?

I doubt this game was a big hit in Japan, I only saw it at a few arcades and it wasn't exactly that popular, although I'd imagine they weren't expecting huge results from the game either way (hell, there's a list on the website which tells you where the machines are located, and it ain't exactly a long one). Oh well, I had never played the PC version so I had some fun with this.

Wow, that would be amazing news. I just hope Playmore doesn't screw up the release. I only yesterday played the fabulous Garou XBLA port while shortly after that crying at the terrible Metal Slug XX conversion.

There were only 50 kits made so they obviously didn't expect it to do that well.

Trouble Witches 2? The poster art looks really nice.
Google Translate tells me that Unlimited Mode "is for people who like festivals."
