You're just racist against American televisions.

Yeah, it's a homemade stick. Found a BBS with loads of pictures. Some very fucking cool ones, but some plain ones. I've got mine well-designed, just gotta figure out how to get the plexiglass/lexan cut. I have no garage... my wife refuses to live in a house.

What is it that some think it's indicated that Cave isn't doing the port themselves? I am confused.

EDIT: and yeah, i wouldn't worry about no TATE screens on the back of the box, same for DOJ as someone else said.

The fact that Mihara's blog is the only source, and that the way he stated it was vague at best. He kind of round-aboutly stated that Cave are the obvious choice to port a Cave game. He seems to be willing to answer questions though, so someone should email him to ask for clarification.

Just to be on topic, got mine pre-ordered with the figurine. Something tells me this will be worth it later...

Heh, I think a couple of months ago and many pages back in this topic, I said I'd pre-order this game ASAP but I didn't.

Well, I finally went and pre-ordered this along with the two PSP shooters too, but that means my order won't ship until the PSP games are ready, which should be a week after Mushi is released :\

Metal Gear Okt · Post by **Metal Gear Okt** » Tue Jul 05, 2005 12:30 pm

Yeah, i chose to p/o this instead of Star Soldier or Sengoku Cannon. I think I made the right choice.

I think you can edit undispached orders and get them to post when items are available, if you dont mind paying 2 seperate postings

I don't think they would include a DVD demo/replay disc in the package, at least for the regular version. Since the "DVD Video" label is missing at the backcover. If a DVD demo/replay disc is included, it would be considered as a big bonus, and the marketing people would not be so foolish to omit this point at the backcover. Check the backcovers of DDP DOJ and ESP galuda and you will found both the "DVD Video" and "DVD Rom" labels.

But we won't know if they include "Super Replay" on the game disc this time to be playback using the replay freature. But that won't make up to the loss of a replay DVD. Hope they would include a replay DVD in the limited version.

Ghegs wrote:Don't judge tateness based on that - there aren't any images in TATE in either DOJ or Galuda's backcover either.

And as Ghegs said, the screen shoot shown on both DDP DOJ and ESP galuda are of the yoto mode. MushiHimeSama might just also have Tate mode, dispite not showing that on the backcover.

But don't bet on that, as backcover of PSOne DDP does show screen shot in Tate mode.

I don't either. As I've said in about 4 times in this forum (once or twice in this thread), regardless of what the back cover says, the product information page that's been up for like 2 months clearly states it comes with 1 DVD-ROM.

This is probably a long shot, but do you remember what the Arika games listed as their contents? I sure as hell don't.

EDIT: Also, there is no mention of a replay disc whatsoever on Amazon Japan's Mushi listing.

I don't know when this was posted, but the [url=http://www.arika.co.jp/product/espgaluda/index.htm]ESPGaluda page] has it listed as including a DVD. There is no real "product page" for DOJ.

Ouch. Didn't DOJ get something like a 38/40?

That actually worries me a little.

If it's as good a port as galuda then I'll be happy, but if they gave DOJ 38 and galuda 26, then I wouldn't read to much in to the score.

Anyone have a link to old Famitsu scores? I'd be curious to see what some of the recent shmups like the Psikyo collections have gotten.

brand1bil · Post by **brand1bil** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 2:56 pm

This is what I found on Gamekult.com

Dodonpachi DOJ - 34/40 (not 38 )
Espgaluda - 29/40 (not the same as Mushihimesama)

others:
Border Down - 29/40
Trizeal - 25/40
Metal Slug 5 - 25/40
Giga Wing Generations - 25/40
Psyvariar 2 - 27/40

High-scorers:

Shikigami No Shiro 2 - 34/40
DDPDOJ - 34/40
Gradius V - 32/40
Ikaruga - 36/40

Haven't found any scores for the Psykio collections, sorry...

iatneH · Post by **iatneH** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 4:14 pm

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but there's a mushi page up at Taito's Japanese site now. Can anybody glean any information from it?

Ord · Post by **Ord** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 4:30 pm

Oh frig! Looking at those Famitsu scores has got me all nervous now!

Metal Gear Okt · Post by **Metal Gear Okt** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 4:37 pm

Do we have review text?

If it's just "this game is the same as their last two", that's fine.

If it's "this game has crippling technical problems", we have to start to worry.

jiji · Post by **jiji** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 4:50 pm

Please don't use Famitsu scores as any sort of indicator of any game's quality, especially shooters. They're pretty much irrelevant, really, and the mag tends to give high scores to games with large production and advertising budgets.

Kron · Post by **Kron** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 5:10 pm

Depends if the review score was reached due to the quality of the game (in their opinion) or quality of the conversion.

famitsu scores = irrelevant, especially for shmups.

Metal Gear Okt · Post by **Metal Gear Okt** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 7:18 pm

I had a friend take a look at it.

He said he couldn't read the top entry (the 6), but the 7 basically says it's a run of the mill shooter, which is to be expected. No mention of horrible technical problems or anything. He's going to get back to me with the other two.
