Pink Sweets & Muchi Muchi Pork bundle - Xbox 360!!!!!

[8 1/2]

MMP was pretty pixelly to begin with, so that's not a surprise. Chunky protagonists, chunky sprites I guess.

[Exarion]

7.1. Walkthrough
Stage 1: Immediately raise your Shot frequency to #15 or #20 and kill yourself right at the first enemy that comes on screen.

That just blows my mind a little bit!

If no-missing the first stage is a bad idea, your playing a Yagawa game.

I found the caravan mode in Pink Sweets and got my ass kicked, lol...

At the risk of sounding like an idiot...what does Caravan even mean in reference to STGs? I've wondered since the first time I played Recca, I thought it referred to some event or something where the game was showcased?

The description of the menus sounds very interesting...though it does bug me that ports seem to skip over attract modes anymore

Ah well, looking forward to playing! Mine is scheduled to arrive on Friday.

If you're an idiot, so am I. Havent got a clue what Caravan games/modes are. You're not alone.

Caravan = Time Attack

Caravan = Time Attack

Oh right, like Raiden DX's timer on the bosses?

[Wonderbanana]

It's here!

And I'm stuck at bloody work, pah!

[Mero]

Caravan = Time Attack

It's a time limited mode where you have, say 2 minutes to score as many points as you can. You also have infinite lives.


On topic: I hope this looks right on 4:3, if it don't I'll have to pass on it

[cools]

You also have infinite lives.

Depending on revision

[Alfred]

I am very happy with it. Looks good to me. Glad i got it. Look for me on the online leaderboards. Brilliant!

It does. You have to do a fair bit of zooming in/out but once it's done you're good to go. I haven't got a problem with the screen settings if Cave continue in this fashion (Akai Katana) as at least full screen 4:3 is possible.

The Pork is great - arrange mode seems fun as well.

[Fudoh]

Can anybody tell me where exactly the character hitbox in MMP are located ?

(EDIT: refering to the arcade version, not arrange...)

Ive got you on my friend list. You have nearly everything. Good taste.

[Deca]

Could someone briefly summarize the arrange modes? Or has this been addressed earlier in the thread and I just missed it?

[Mero]

It does. .

Thanks for the info

PS' Caravan mode is 5 minutes in Stage 6 with infinite lives.

I did actually try the PS arrange mode for a couple of minutes. I couldn't figure out the scoring system. There appears to be a DDP-esque chaining gauge, and a multiplier that can build up, but I can't quite put my finger on how.

[Anesthetize]

Anyone tried the 1.01 modes yet? Curious as to how they turned out.

[dirge]

Argh, mine still hasn't been sent, because I ordered Espgaluda II Black Label and Mushihimesama Futari Ver 1.5 and Mushihimesama Futari wasn't instock at the time. This waiting is killing me!

Bullet cancelling?

[Chaos Phoenixma]

Still need to actually order this.

Also,

Do either of the Arrange modes loop?

[BarfHappy]

After selecting a game, you'll wait for a few seconds of load time, and then you'll have the choice of Arcade/Arrange/Leaderboards/Exit as the attract mode runs on a cab in the background. This unfortunately appears to be the only way to experience attract mode (edit: attract also runs in the background while in Screen Setting options); once you pick from the below menu, the game starts immediately.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO T-T
I love attract modes... the display of scores, the demonstration.... even though they are pretty minimalist i still could leave em run a while, during which time i plan my run in my head.

[StarCreator]

I'm really wondering if there's been some big change in the 360 devkits, or in Cave's 360 programming talent. They never used to have to resort to a "wide mode" option to provide a 4:3 mode for their games before, as recently as DFK BL - all the menus and whatnot look perfectly fine without it.

Ordered today. Looking forward to playing it.

I want this game so bad, this sounds fun Weird question, did Yagawa do Soukyugurentai? That is my only Raizing game, and I was trying to get some warm-up for PS, but it just doesn't seem the same.

Menus came up in English. If you are rotating your screen you need to do that in the main options before scrolling to one of the two games. The menus for the individual games allow you to spread the tate'd image to fill the entire screen. Each game seems to have an arrange mode. I only had a chance to play MMP for a minute, but it seemed less like a Raizing game than I had hoped. Perhaps that first impression will alter with more playtime.

[Danbo]

Yo i really like muchi pork but these fucking menus are godawful i cant believe im this mad about a menu god, DAMN.

[Wenchang]

Nope, it's Yuichi Toyama who is the lead programmer Soukyugurentai. His games(M.U.S.H.A., Spriggan, Spriggan Mark 2, Mahou Daisakusen, Kingdom Grand Prix, Dimahoo) are very different from Yagawa's indeed.

Thank you, I was always confused by their extreme difference. I feel stupid for playing Souky like it had some extreme rank
