Ketsui X and Daioujou Black Label X - Ports for Xbox 360

[Ganelon]

The fix is missing a "not"...

[roker]

I'm secretly hoping the Ketsui port sucks

that way I don't break the bank importing a PCB to play it.

^^fixed

I said "break" not "rob"

[drunkninja24]

Have there been any more updates at all about the DOJ patch?

The patch is a lie.
The patch is a lie.
The patch is a lie.

As it is now, I see no reason to spend the money to own a J360. The only good japan exclusive game might be Ketsui, but I predict another porting disaster. Even so, that's only one game. I predict that most people will be just fine with a domestic console for quite a while, possibley indefinately with CAVE's sudden change of heart in regards to export. In the event that Ketsui does turn out to be good, I hope they deem the US to be sufficiently receptive to japanese culture so I can play it.

[StarCreator]

There are quite a lot of not-Cave 360 exclusives that are Japan only. Cave doesn't represent the industry as a whole.

And DOJBLEX, once you get past the menus to the game (you know, the part that matters), is actually an amazingly accurate port. No doubt due to the quality of the port they ripped the source code from, but very accurate nonetheless. Out of all the shmups I own, I still give DOJBLEX the most playtime. Even if the patch never materializes, it will still be a good port.

Your prediction is already wrong. Lots of Japanese players played the final disc version over the past weekend, and they've said it's pretty rad. On par with Futari 1.5 in terms of port accuracy w/ close to no load times.

blasphemy!

DOJBLEX, Mushi Futari, Galuda 2, Otomedius G (yes, you heared me), not to mention upcoming ports which are predicted to include Daifukkatsu and maybe even Mushi Pork or Pink Sweets. There are lots of other JP exclusives too.

Cave have stated Galuda 2 will be the last one.

Not a chance.

Nice , Im not worried my ketsui PCB will lose value

Na TBH i dont care about that i just want a good port as i really like the practice modes , replay saving & Leaderboards

If its as good as Futari especially with all the screen options ill be more than happy

[StarCreator]

We've had reports from people who have played what appears to be the final build that screen options are similar to DOJBLEX's, which is to say it probably supplies the bare minimum sizing, rotating, and smoothing.

[roker]

maybe even Mushi Pork or Pink Sweets.

OK. People need to stop giving me hope that either of these two games are coming out. But if it is Pink Sweets, I think it's safe to say that the jizzing of pants will commence.

even if it does (doubt it), you could probably wait it out and it'll go back up in price.

Keep in mind that I'll buy your PCB off you if you decide to sell it for cheaps!

MMP destoys PS... but I have a MMP PCB so I guess I want it to be PS regardless.

I like them both, but I think at the end of the day, the play style of PS suits me more. How much time did you spend with PS?

I also enjoyed the original Ibara (to a point, that game is downright masochistic), so I guess that may be a reason why I slightly enjoyed PS more than MMP.

Well Cave said they will be porting one more back catalogue game via XBLA after Guwange and if you consider the fact that Galuda already had a port on the PS2, that only leaves PS, MMP and ESP.Ra.De. Of course if they are hoping to profit off much older releases as they are with Guwange, Ra.De has a chance but I'd say the other two are far more likely contenders.

[originalz]

Ra.De was #2 on that Xbox LIVE survey so chances are that'll be the next one. I'm hoping for Ibara Kuro, personally.

I'm actually a fan of PS, it's definitely not a perfect game but it's unique enough and can be fun if you know how to play it. It also has amazing music! Would make for a good XBLA title since most of the dialog is already translated in the game.

Could you link me that survey? I'm very curious.

Any Ibara version would make me happy but I think won't be a 3rd gen hw game.
My guess would be a 2nd gen game.

I think the reason I like it is because it's another version of Battle Garegga/Batrider/Bakraid etc.

I felt like Muchi Muchi Pork was it's own beast. Which is a good thing. I really liked how creative they were with it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is:

GIVE ME MORE GAMES!

[Trevor spencer]

just give us MMP & PS , Most people can play ESPrade on MAME

[Battlesmurf]

What I would be totally content with:

MMP/EspRaDe on XBLA-

Ibara pack (Ibara, Ibara BL, Pink Sweets) on a retail disc.


on a very oddly related note- I also hope that it is possible to take the Guwange blue label stuff and apply it to actual hardware (though I don't know if I could do that to my board).


On topic: getting pretty excited for Ketsui. I love that game- but I don't always have time to plug in the board. I could give a shit if it drops the prices- I've gotten my use out of my board and more people need to be able to play this game!

On Topic #2: This patch for DOJ needs to come out sooner than later. I like the game as is- but it really could use that little extra kick and would help me to pick it back up!

[emphatic]

DOJ BLEX PATCH, WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?

On a smoker trying to quit.

DOJ BLEX PATCH, WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?

Tell me about it. I bought it when I heard the patch was going to clear up the load times...and now it's just taking forever. Much like the load times.

[orange]

DDP BLUE ROM PORT, WHERE THE FUCK IS IT?

now we're talkin'

[Zweihander]

I don't have access to a Japanese or modded 360, but I probably will in the future. Should I perhaps pre-order Ketsui, since paying $70 now > $200 used on Ebay in a year from now? Or maybe wait a little while to order it until the hands-on impressions come rolling in, since 5pb did such a shitty job with DOJ BLAX?

All of the impressions from people who played Ketsui 360 so far have been good, so I say go for it.

[roker]

I might just purchase Ketsui so I put it in a glass case and then I can smoke cigars and drink fine wine and talk about things in life that matter to me ...
