I'm happy that Cave start releasing their game to IOS faster than 1 game every 6 months.

[Kaspal]

DDP DOJ for iOS?? ME WANTS!!!!

Seeing this really makes me wonder how they'll handle the fact that DOJ's graphics assets aren't at 1:1 pixel aspect. The scaling that got used on the 360 version is really ugly. Given this is designed to run on a phone, I imagine they'll have to resize the assets themselves rather than after rendering the game visual...

[MR_Soren]

This makes sense, since DoDonPachi Resurrection appears to be their most popular iOS game.

However, Mushi came out five weeks ago. I worry that they are going to over-saturate the market.

Anyway, I'll almost certainly buy it.

As they arguably did with the 360 ports, not that I´m complaining.

Indeed, I think that is a big part of their trouble.

As much as the hardcore fans want them to port every arcade game and release it yesterday, the general consumers probably don't want more than 1 shoot-em-up per year.

gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrhhhhhhhhhh

Is this the part where iOS hipsters cry over a game being exclusive to a mediocre platform instead of being exclusive to their own mediocre platform?

[mesh control]

hipsters

Why won't this word die. I seriously don't know what a hipster is anymore.


Relevant.

[MR_Soren]

Oh man, that sounds just like the guy who hated Ikaruga!

Hmm, perhaps I should be more specific.

I can see a XBOX Live logo on their site actually. Let's hope they release it their as well.

It also says it's developed by EVAC Industry and supported by Cave. What ever that means.

Sounds like they might be trying to introduce Ketsui IP's into the western marketplace.

Works for me!

[drunkhobo]

Instant buy, I will start practicing on the ROM for some first week high score fun

No, that one's fine. Maybe you've dealt with so much "bad English" that passable English stops making sense. I hate when people get that way.

Speaking of which, I think some spaces would be better than the colons.

I would be more then happy with an xbox live release =]

[Remembrance]

Xbox Live is part of the WP7 platform, so I wouldn't get my hopes up based on just that...

Nope, this is the part where anybody with one of said devices looks forward to a decent portable port to play on the go in between 'proper' releases.

[Tetsuo]

Yet more Cave goodness, thank you mR asada and family

Harping on about how much you dislike games for a platform you don't own won't change the fact that Cave's ios ports are superb portable games and everyone enjoys them. They're not designed to compete with the originals, they're versions adapted to the hardware that can be played for score in their own right, and work very well within the touchscreen format.

As for DOJ, this will be interesting, looking forward to it.

[Shin]

'proper' releases.

there you go:
http://andriasang.com/comzq0/cave_new_titles/
so shouldn't be more than 10days.

The two remaining anoncements are going to be the 360 game and a new arcade title I hope. But damn why they always make us suffer like this.

[Shin]

Yeah, I know what you mean ^^''

as much as I'd love an actual arcade title I'm pretty sure it'll be a 360 port and the Vita shmup...

[MR_Soren]

The reason the announcement was delayed is because they were forced to cut back from 2 360 ports to 1 port, so Mushi and Ibara were combined into a Mushi / Ibara double pack to make everybody happy. They need the time to create new cover art before announcing.

[Last_Dancer]

Why is everything for Microsoft "exclusiv" ? Blissfull Death has no "exclusiv" marking, is Microsoft really moneyhatting games for Windows Phone7, sounds crazy LOL

Ah well, Cave really likes to stick to Underdog Hardware, are there actually any WP7 SmartPhones available, do people actually buy those things????

I have never seen one. Everyone at my college has iphones, but instead of cave games they play angry birds in class and give me weird looks or ask me what I'm playing. One guy looked up ddpr and said he couldn't believe I would pay that much for an iphone game. /facepalm
