RSG publish DDP Resurrection in Europe

[Erppo]

The proper official way:

Omote: 35 bees OR max 2 bombs OR max 1 death
Ura: 45 bees AND max 2 bombs AND max 1 death

Normal stages have 7 bees each, and the Ura versions 9, so getting all the bees from the normal stages is enough to loop and you must do every stage in Ura route if you want the Ura loop. Obviously the death part in Ura conditions is only an issue with Power.

[Klatrymadon]

What are the conditions for getting onto the Ura route in stages 3-5? During my last run I fought all of the alternate midbosses, but the first was the only one I consciously tried to trigger.

[Bananamatic]

Just realized czech republic also has GAME, except I haven't realized it(and I've been buying games there for a year now)

except DFK isn't even announced while they already have MW3 clothes. I don't even think they had DS.

Just get all the bees.

I think if you die it has some effect on it, I remember trying to suicide after getting all the bees to avoid it and it didn't work though :/

[Klatrymadon]

Cheers, chap. I didn't think I picked up that many bees (I still haven't learned most of their locations), but I must have done alright!

Are the requirements for the loops the same on Novice mode?

Loops? I was under the imperssion that Novice Mode had no Ura loop. Or was that just for the iPhone players? (why the hell didn't they have separate leaderboards on that one anyway...)

[Moniker]

Gaah I'm on the fence about getting this. I like DOJ and sorta like DDP, but not in love with either one. Although the prospect of playing a modern Cave STG featuring spaceships instead of flying girls appeals to me. Anyone care to sway me?

@Deca - we seem to have similar shmup tastes. Do you recommend?

Anyone have their copy ship yet from NCSX?

Mine shipped from NCSX today. Wednesday.

Novice Mode has the exact same loop structure and requirements as Arcade Mode. Get to the end of the Novice Ura loop and you'll still fight both Golden Disaster and Hibachi.

My wallet hates you.

After receiving MMP/PS, I promised myself that Japanese Santa wouldn't be coming back for some time. But now that he's delegated to EuroSanta, well, that's different, right?

[Illyrian]

I 2-alled novice mode, omote style and got golden disaster but not hibachi.

Also, you can lose more lives than you think and get omote, I got through the first loop with only 2 lives left and got omote 2nd loop.

The second loop on arcade mode is really good fun, I got to the 3rd level and I reckon that 2-1 is equal in difficulty to 1-4 roughly, 2-2 to 1-5 and so on and so forth.

Hi,

Did anyone try to run this Pal Version on a Japanese Xbox 360 ? Did it launch the game ?

Thanks.

[the.borg]

I'm really losing patience ...
Amazon.fr sent me another mail saying "blah blah we cannot ship the item in time... the new shipping date will be november 16"
I'm wondering if I should remove my order and buy from an UK vendor (shipping takes 5-7 days) because if nov 16 comes and I get another email saying they don't have it I'm gonna burst.

I believe it's already been established that it does not work on Japanese and Asia NTSC consoles. The game can be run on European, Australian, and Asia PAL consoles, as well as North American NTSC consoles.

[bcass]

Asia? Are you sure about that? Asia might be PAL but it also has its own region code.

[xbl0x180]

Asia? Are you sure about that? Asia might be PAL but it also has its own region code.

Not all Asia is PAL and, yes, they have their own region coding for discs. However, I have an Asia NTSC console, which is compatible with Japanese 360 games, but not with North American NTSC and European PAL games (which is why I have a refurbished North American console as well).

Anyone from India or the Middle East who can confirm the compatibility of their consoles? I assumed theirs were Asia PAL consoles, which are essentially the same ones from Europe and Australia

[deexor]

Novice Mode has the exact same loop structure and requirements as Arcade Mode. Get to the end of the Novice Ura loop and you'll still fight both Golden Disaster and Hibachi.

Just FYI, Arrange A also has the same loop requirements and omote/ura loops.

[Deca]

BL doesn't loop right? Does it have the alternate paths or whatever?

[O. Van Bruce]

Well, I finally played today Black Label.

Played it on novice mode just in case...

WTF did my eyes see? Is that really novice mode? i had to burn 3 credits to complete it on strong auto-bomb mode...

And no sight of Ketsuipachi... I suppose is the Omake...

but WOW... just WOW... I supposed this would be awesome but not at this level.

[Klatrymadon]

You choose Strong for a harder game in BL, mate - the patterns are from the second loop, IIRC.

It still has the alternate routes, aye.

[Muchi Muchi Spork]

Strong is not the easiest choice for 1CC on the Black Label. It supposedly is on 1.5 but I have never played that version. The easiest 1CC on Black Label (to me) is Bomb mode with autobomb on, and even that is hard as hell. I'm just speaking from the pcb, I suppose they could have changed some difficulty stuff on the port.

[O. Van Bruce]

Oh boy... so that was why... XDDDD... Didn't know you choose difficulty that way.
But man, now I fell proud after 1cc all the way to the 5th stage (even with autobomb on) .

Fells good to know that i will be able to get ketsuipachi sooner.

PD: You mentioned "routes". what is that?

[StarCreator]

Fells good to know that i will be able to get ketsuipachi sooner.

Huh? Black Label Arrange (Ketsui mode) hasn't been announced for the European version at all. It was part of the Black Label disc release in Japan only, and back when we asked about it, it sounded like making it a DLC mode wasn't even on the table as far as CAVE was concerned.

No ketsuipachi then? On Espgaluda Black label the omake unlocks after you beat black label if I recall well, and Ketsuipachi is the omake, right?

It's confirmed that it isn't or it's just an speculation?

[Illyrian]

Cave have said that in BL, Bomb style is easy, Power is medium and Strong is hard. I've played it and they're right.

And they're right, strong style with full red guage is fucking mental.

The requirements for Hibachi and Zatsuza are pretty mental as well, for Zatsuza you need to beat every second loop boss with full red guage, losing no more than 1 life on the second loop, collecting all the bees, and then no miss Strong style golden disaster!

LOL

[brentsg]

BL doesn't loop right? Does it have the alternate paths or whatever?

Correct it's just the single loop. It does have the alternate paths for the old DDP bosses, just like 1.5.

[Elixir]

Ketsuipachi is not a bonus, no. It was never included in Daifukkatsu 1.5 and it was never released as DLC.

someday i'll have the money to buy a NTSC-J 360... or maybe I can glitch the one i have now

[Himself]

Just got mine from NCSX!

I haven't opened it yet though because the back specifically says "For use only with PAL XBOX 360s". Do they all say this or is there a region-free version and a PAL only version? I want to make sure it will work on my American Xbox before unwrapping it.
