Dariusburst: Second Prologue (Android)

[ProcoTaito]

So, I accidentally stumbled upon this yesterday: http://zuntata.jp/index.html (The first article mentions DBSP being released to Android through a service in Japan.)

Also mentioned here as well: http://darius.jp/dbac/news/index.html

Does anyone else have any info on if this is obtainable through means in the US? Or do we just simply have to hope that Taito decides to let this game out on the Google market?

I've been wanting this game for awhile and was kind of annoyed that it was only an iOS release up to this point, but this is just a taunt....

Any info would be helpful, Thanks!

It's only available for iPhone/iPod touch/iPad, but can purchase the english version:
iTunes official app page
Taito's official app page

of course, i'm terribly happy that it's finally spelled right (thanks taito), and i still don't have an iDevice

get rid of the colon, i guess

I suspect if it's anything like Taito's other stuff, it'll come out in the US but will support limited phones. Getting a hold of the Space Invaders Infinity Gene phone compatibility list would be a good lead to start on.

Has anyone played this yet? How is it compared to the PSP port?

There is an SP mode which is kind of like a "Remix" mode of the PSP Dariusburst. It changes some stages and bosses and also adds new tracks from Zuntata. Not to mention it adds Silverhawks from AC as well.

I know there has to be a way to obtain this version for Android, for as much research as I've done on this, I already have found that Taito did indeed do a version for Android, but it's not very easily accessible. I'm thinking it's only for a few special Japanese phone services from what I'm reading here.

But, I figure what's the point of working on an Android version if you have no intentions of making a full release at some point? I might expect that from a small doujin company that made a neat little cell phone game, but this is Taito and Darius we're talking about.

Anyone else have any further info? Thanks!
