Xbox 360: Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu 1.5 (November 2010)

[Phellan Wolf]

DLC remains to be seen since capcom charged previous BL modes for 1200MS point.

CAVE my good friend not CAPCOM

Sorry mi mind was on another space

It is the morning of the 25th here in Australia. Play-Asia has been "preparing order" for a few days now. C'moooon, shiiip.

BL DLC is one of the best things I've heard in ages. AWESOME!

[Special World]

How does Black Label compare to 1.5?

I don't need a scoring rundown as I'm sure there's a topic for that, but do you guys feel it significantly improves on 1.5?

I thought Futari Black Label absolutely blew 1.5 out of the water, so I was wondering how this one stacks up. At the very least, is it significantly different?

I feel it's a much more significantly different game from its 1.5 than Futari is.

I also really like both flavors of DFK, but once I got BL I rarely played 1.5 any longer.

It's still very early in Hong Kong so hopefully in a few hours they will start shipping to us Aussies.

Now I just need a J360 to play it, haha - maybe you should organise a meet for all us aussies to play.

SO happy to see Black Label will be available. Next to Deathsmiles II, that has to be one of the quickest turnaround times from arcade release-console port for Cave.

I just paid 9000yen to AmiAmi for DFK LE which includes EMS to Australia. Cant wait for it to get here. Hopefully on Sunday....if not, then definitely Monday

My total is the exact same as well, shipping by EMS to the states. Wonder if the 1350yen is standard fare everywhere outside Japan. Australia post is open on sunday? lucky bastards I hope mine comes in that soon.

Anyways this discussion should be had in the pre-order updates thread

Although normally mail isn't delivered on the weekends, the last 2 times i have ordered from HMV Japan via EMS, i have received my packages on a Sunday. So I'm hoping the same will happen again

AmiAmi just emailed back saying they've accepted my payment and they'll ship DFK out today via EMS. Once i have the tracking number, then ill know for sure that its on its way

[ex.machina]

Can anyone who already got the Limited Edition confirm if the 1.51 DLC card is included? On Play-Asia only the normal first print has a 1.51 sticker on the cover, the Limited Edition doesn't.

Got an e-mail from PA just now saying order shipped! Absolutely stoked!

I'm in Newcastle, but any time a shmupper wants to hang out and game they are 110% more than welcome to drop by or stay for a weekend or whatever (just shoot me a PM). If fellow Aussies want to have a shmupmeet I'm more than happy to help out in any way I can, whether host it or bring my stuff somewhere else, I'm easy. I don't have a TATE setup (yet, working on it), but yeah. If its something the fellows here want to happen, it would be well worth organising it. Maybe we should hit up the Aussie shmupper thread soon.

Thats awesome mate. Hope you get it soon I have a heap of stuff on pre-order with AmiAmi, great site!

[emphatic]

You know there's a thread dedicated to "my order just shipped" etc, right?

[Phellan Wolf]

I have already played the game, and to be honest it is really good. I have never played the original arcade, but I think the 360 mode has been done with care and it is a very good port even with the lack with an original arcade mode. Also arrange B mode it is a lot of fun, if you're a score hunter this will be your play mode.
By the way it is just me or the 3rd stage bgm it is from Espgaluda II?

[Danza]

You know there's a thread dedicated to "my order just shipped" etc, right?

Yeah, sorry. I had a couple of people reply to me in this thread, and I didn't want to seem rude by not replying. I also wanted to let people know Play Asia is shipping DFK.

I hope there isn't a mess up with the 1.51 DLC cards. I really like the sound of the changes, so I hope it does get shipped..

I contacted them about this issue and they said they'll not repeat the issue with Futari.

[evil_ash_xero]

Anyone know if there are any graphical differences between 1.5 and BL? The videos I watch seem to show BL having different hues for stages(ala Futari BL).

[Phellan Wolf]

I am having a blast with arrange B. Sure auto fire is on, but it so fun and the more I play it the higest score is. Also the look of it is really cool, imagine Dodonpachi in Matrix universe

[Blue_Ray]

Heh, I knew my mind wasn't playing tricks during the 4th or 5th part of that song. Does sound like slightly altered Espgaluda II character select (Fatidic) for a few seconds there.

[Special World]

God I have such a hardon for everything I hear about Arrange B

Monday can't come soon enough.

[GaijinPunch]

ZOMG

[Elixir]

So much stuff to cover.

Will "package version" play like an append disc? Or will it be DLC? BL DLC is 1200 MSP but the package version is listed in yen, which leads me to believe that it's going to a retail release. But that must mean it requires the original disc, meaning it's an append version.

[Taylor]

Conversation about fanservice and then Cave put Ketsui in DFK.

[GaijinPunch]

Generally "package version" means stand alone, not append. But, who knows.

[Animaitor]

Thanks GP. Kestui making love to Daifukkatsu BL... RAD!! Love the music too!

By the way, what's the 5,040 yen about on the BL official site? A retail version of BL???

[RetroRepair]

So pink Sweets/Muchi can have arcade mode but not DFK..

Ketsui BL looks

[Elixir]

Added to OP:

Package Version


(includes DLC and Ketsui-like Arrange mode, requires original version)

Xbox 360 DLC/Package version announcement (among other things):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9jqQ3V66Xc

- How much is the Black Label DLC?

It has been confirmed in this video that the Daifukkatsu Black Label DLC will be 1200 Microsoft Points. This will require a Japanese account in order to purchase from, and you will need Japanese Microsoft Points. Thankfully, Play-Asia digitally send 1400 Japanese Microsoft Points and 3500 Japanese Microsoft Points via email. The Black Label DLC is scheduled for 02/03/11.

- What is "package version"?

The package version has been announced for 4,800 Yen, and will be available on the same day as the DFK BL DLC, 2/3/11. It includes BL DLC, and an Arrange mode in the same style as Ketsui. It requires the full version of Daifukkatsu in order to play.








The DFK BL official site went up while I was compiling this information, which answered my own question. The package version requires the original game in order to play.

[EPS21]

Dang, another purchase on top of the original. I'll definitely get it but it sure hurts my wallet with this exchange rate.

[njiska]

This has completely made my day. At first i was kind of put off by spending 4,800 just to get an arrange mode. Then I saw the video... My god, my mind was blown. They even went as far as the put A.I. in the Ketsui pose. No idea how well this will play but from the video it looks like it will be a blast.

[NzzpNzzp]

Zatsuza is really DOOM.

You heard it here first.

[charlie chong]

YO GUYS MY PENIS IS REAL HARD RITE NOW

I DON'T LIKE DLC SO I THINK THIS PACKAGE VERSION IS GREAT


WOOOOOOOOO

[Sapz]

Dodonpachi Daifukketsui is the coolest goddamn thing I have ever seen. @__@ Getting retail for sure.
