Article about 2D games from Japan (Cave, ARC system works)

[TrevHead (TVR)]

Cave posted this link on their Facebook page to an article about hardcore Japanese 2D games

As a side note Cave also posted to say that all their staff is OK. I know property isnt important as lives but I hope nothing irriplacable was lost in the quake (like PCBs and design documents / info)

thanks for sharing. Nothing really surprising here, but its nice to have Cave and Arc in the same interview.

Any article that quotes the developers and shows their mindset and dedication is cool. Thanks for sharing.

Mori literally lived at the office for 18 months? Wow.

I love BlazBlue! Sad that it gets so little attention now that SF4 and MvC3 are out.

I love Guilty Gear! Sad that it gets so little attention now that BlandBlue and Magneto vs Cable 3 are out.

Yes GG rocks-there's something about the characterisation that's perfect, unlike BlazBlue which should be prosecuted to the full extent of the Jam Kuradoberi

I prefer Guilty Gear, mostly for the sheer size of the roster and how cool the characters are. Blazblue makes the few characters it has count to an absurd degree, though, as each one seems to play ludicrously different from the next.

Both are absolutely fantastic.

I don't really care for Arc System games much, they fail to inspire me.
