CAVEs next event...

[rancor]

ooh! Speculation! They're having another matsuri event on Feb. 19th, and have reserved the first floor of this place:

http://www.bellesalle.co.jp/bs_akihabara/

They also say that they have a "major announcement for 2011" to make.. any ideas?

I think I'll def. be going to this one. Bellesalle is large and roomy whereas those affairs they have at HEY are cramped, crowded, and ridiculous..

[njiska]

All the announced ports are pretty much out by that point aside from Dangun, so i'd expect to get a heads up on the spring/summer line up. Maybe the three games Cave claimed they'd announce soon.

[Skykid]

My vote is for a 360 exclusive.

[Despatche]

My vote is either for a 360 exclusive or some "retro bundle" with things like Espgaluda, Mushi, maybe Esprade, etc.

Pretty sure this is a press conference and not a pedo-goods pedalling party.

[rancor]

That may very well be. They didn't actually say "matsuri" - that was my assumption. Damn the unclear nature of Japanese.

[gameoverDude]

WRT porting of older games, it looks like Ibara Kuro, DDP Campaign, Uo Poko, & Mushihime Tama are the only ones unaccounted for. Hopefully these get taken care of sooner or later.

So what could they be holding back for this...
A new arcade board based on 360 hardware? (would be nice, for the sake of easier porting)
Maybe the Akai Katana 360 release date?
Ibara & Ibara Kuro compilation?
Dodonpachi Campaign for XBLA?

How about a source link?

You know, this would actually make complete sense, but I do feel that such a thing would be greatly overpowered for their purposes unless they're actually planning on having Espg2/DFK Arrange bullet counts in HD in their regular games, in which case, well, holy shit.

Quite an interesting idea nonetheless, I'd be all up for it.

Judging by the venue size, the announcement(s) will indeed be something big. Definitely not just a new line-up.

[dcharlie]

some new Ipad/iphone games i'd suspect?

Ketsui for iphone/ipad ?

[undamned]

LOL @ arcade boards dying all over the place.

I doubt the 360 boards would fail at all if you kept the rank down.

[moozooh]

Supposedly the recent 360 hardware design addresses all the hardware faults that made it fail.

[Skykid]

EOJ has confirmed Rancor's info, a Matsuri it will be, with announcements for a new game for all the platforms they develop for.

So a 360 port/exclusive is on the cards. I'm hoping for Akai Katana.
