[brentsg]

Are they working on the Ketsui patch yet, or are they going to wait until it's out?

Unlikely any patch will ever come.... 5pb are already moving on to Mini Xevious, i hear.

Mihara grenade order is probably already being delivered by Kuroneko express, though.

The classic arcade game, Xevious from Namco, is back! Your Fighter Plane is the last hope for Earth. Fire on alien ships, bomb their ground bases, and destroy the Mother Ship. Save humanity from the aliens in this classic scrolling shooter!

So if I understand correctly then, 5pb is the last hope for Earth.

Well, nice knowing you guys.

No new thread for this?

Why not start a new thread for every unsubstantiated claim, preorder confirmation, and tracking number? We can make navigating the boards as fun as coding the BLEX patch.

[dcharlie]

Some sort of official thread for Ketsui will be in order nearer the time, but this can surely catch all the preorder, shipping updates, drama, etc. ?

Nah, man, that's what Emph's preorder thread is for.

So, the news is there is no news? And how is that date printed in that magazine any more official than the dates listed at PA or NCSX, is it from a source at 5pb?

[SFKhoa]

And tits.

About fucking time.

10 people replying after I posted the news that many have been awaiting with baited breath for ages and not one single 'thank you', 'thanks', 'ta' or 'cheers.'

I don't expect a medal but I don't know why I bother here. This information didn't magically appear here with no effort at all I'll have you know. Were you all dragged up?

Think on people.

[DC906270]

Thanks. There i said it

But can you tell me how is this more official than other sources?

[monouchi]

Thanks JAPJAC for posting the info.
Im sure it took some time for you to find it, take picture etc, good work!

[emphatic]

Brb, sending flowers.

[evil_ash_xero]

Thank you.

[vercimber]

Thanks, JAPJAC. (I think we're all a little distracted by the fact that it's finally coming out.) I know how much you love the game, though, so I know you would have expended the effort nonetheless. But that doesn't make a thank you any less deserved.

[Jockel]

We shall praise his name.

Thanks for posting the date we've known about for 3 weeks now!

[JAPJAC]

Beg your pardon then.

Thanks all, my absolute pleasure. Let the official, all important, Weekly Famitsu's date countdown begin!

There was a 15 minute time delay from me knowing today's hot info. and this forum knowing, from one fan to another.

[velocity7]

Thanks. There i said it

But can you tell me how is this more official than other sources?

If you really must have an official source...

On another note, was reading Mihara's entry, here's a translation:

First let's talk about Daioujou 360.

The reason for this dragging on so long in the end, was merely a human error we call a "careless mistake".
I really could care less, just hurry it up. lol

As for Ketsui 360, go check the Weekly Famitsu. lol
Information updated there should be written in stone.

(fixed a bit of this post on request)

"Fixed a bit of the post on request"? I think he posted the date a bit too early and Famitsu wanted him to let them have all the fun...

[Phellan Wolf]

Now comes other question, when are they supposed to release the fucking patch for Daiojou??
I have lost all hopes to see it soon, maybe by 2011 when they announce a ketsui pacth

[Vyxx]

Never.

[agustusx]

I just had a bad dream about playing ketsui's on release. Dream sequence begin

• The game had an input glitch where if you moved in the same direction for more than an instant the ship would start to move in random circles.
  The game implemented a racing game checkpoint system where instead of having to destroy the boss you could "dive" past the line before the timer ran out to clear the stage.
  The game only played in tate, forcing you to ghetto tate yourself to play on standard screens.

I don't know if I should blame 5pb, all the negative speculation, the single can of Steel reserve i had last night or the fact I needed to get up extra early this morning for work to QA a live build. *sigh*

WHERE IS THAT MOTHERFUCKING PATCH!!!??

[SFKhoa]

WHERE IS THAT MOTHERFUCKING PATCH!!!??

[Udderdude]

I ate it. Yum.

[DC906270]

WHERE IS THAT MOTHERFUCKING PATCH!!!??

quote from 5pb : to lick, it is impolite!

engrish to english : best to let a wound heal over than to lick it, enabling it to fester further. in other words, no patch. best just forget BLEX has flaws. this is all unofficial of course . (ie in my head. im just winding you up )

You do realize that it basically is only playable in tate right? No HD modes, so it's going to look terrible on a horizontal LCD.

Good point... Guess my 360 will be getting more use out of the crt. I was just getting used to how lovely Futari looked on the 32inch tated lcd.

why do you think it matters if a 320x240 game is displayed tate or not, when you have the ability to send it to the screen at a much higher resolution. your statement only applies to people running SD, and people running 480p might see some scaling affects.
