Region Free Shmups for XBOX 360

[Josh]

Quick question,

Which 360 shooters are region free?

Thanks!

[hwl]

[...] All versions of Mushi, and all versions sans the LE of Esp2 are region free (and all versions of mmp/ps)

[Zero Gunner]

Japan:

Mushihime
ESP Galuda II (Standard Version Only)
Pink Sweets/Mushi Muchi
Eschatos
Bullet Soul


Europe:
Dodonpachi DFK

[Moniker]

ESP Galuda II (non-LE)
Mushi Futari
Muchi Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets
Eschatos
Deathsmiles (available for all regions [PAL?])
Deathsmiles2X (Games on Demand)
DoDonPachi DFK/Resurrection (JP or PAL/NA)

Hrmm.. I think that's it for Disc-based.

Japan version of DFK isn't region free. Only Euro version.

Raiden IV, Raiden Fighters Aces and Otomedius Excellent have all been localised for NA also.

Don't forget Guwange (xbox live arcade)

Japan version of DFK isn't region free. Only Euro version.

Technically the EU version is only "partially" regionless - it'll work on US and PAL consoles, but not JP ones.

As further reference for region free/non-region free japanese games, Elixir has a sticked thread on what you need to know with the Japanese Xbox 360.

Is the Black Label version of DFK included/available as DLC for the Euro version of DFK 1.5?

[Klatrymadon]

It's DLC, aye. 800 spacebucks. Well worth it, IMHOtep!

[dunpeal2064]

Black Label is definitely worth the money! I love picking strong and dying, and I love picking bomb to get to stage 3 and 4, because the BGM is fucking PRIMO

[Blackbird]

Black Label is worthwhile just for the soundtrack alone, haha.

Don't forget Asia consoles (I own one ).

What region games do asian consoles usually play?

If it's NTSC Asia (i.e., for Corea, Hong Kong, Philippines, etc.), then it runs the same games as Japanese consoles; the only difference is that it comes with a 240V AC adaptor/"power brick" instead of the usual 110V, so if you import it, you have to buy a power brick that goes for your area. I think there are also Asia 360 consoles for the Middle East and India, which may be PAL-based (i.e., Asia PAL).
