I just paid for my Caladrius LE and AmiAmi charged me 1350 JPY for EMS shipping to Canada.MOSQUITO FIGHTER wrote:Just ordered the special edition. The cover does look nice. So about how much does amiami usually charge to ship games with EMS? I tried asking them in an email, but they said they would not know until how much it would be until the item arrives.
Oh wow! Play-Asia seems OK (as in they are still taking orders) but I am a little worried now as I was mr Johny come lately on this whole thing! :SHydrogLox wrote:AmiAmi actually sold out of pre-orders for the regular edition of XIIZEAL and ΔZEAL while they are still taking pre-orders for the regular edition of Saidaioujou.

How can you tell? I only see 'Tentative Pre-Order'. Do I have to be on Japanese Mode or something?HydrogLox wrote:AmiAmi actually sold out of pre-orders for the regular edition of XIIZEAL and ΔZEAL while they are still taking pre-orders for the regular edition of Saidaioujou.

I doubt very much that they ordered the same kind of quantity compared to "any" Cave title. So unless there was a sudden spike in sales due to any of the recent (official or unofficial) promotions, I don't think that they will be ordering any more as they don't want to have any stock hanging around. It is still available through NCSX and play-asia (ludicrous LE price though).Friendly wrote:Or maybe AmiAmi just didn't order very many copies precisely because Shooting Love 200X sold so slowly...
) who is pining for Gun Dogs, erm Raiden Fighters Aces should be paying attention to this one as ΔZEAL seems to have the same vibe (at least that is my impression). There is also the fact that numerous elements of G-Stream G2020 made it into TRIZEΔL, EXZEΔL, and Shmups Skill Test and Fujino has used all that experience to refine G-Stream G2020 into ΔZEAL.
now now, just because we're all used to paying $90 for a shmup* doesn't mean they all should cost $90.HydrogLox wrote: I also feel that "the market" has been undeservedly unkind to XIIStag (~$15 for used PS2 copy).
Yeah I also remember it being released "budget price" here in the UK so it was never going to reach dizzying heights on the aftermarket.EmperorIng wrote:now now, just because we're all used to paying $90 for a shmup doesn't mean they all should cost $90.HydrogLox wrote: I also feel that "the market" has been undeservedly unkind to XIIStag (~$15 for used PS2 copy).
I'm all for "affordable" options - the more the better. And I guess I'm putting too much stock in the selling price as a reflection of the game's quality - after all the Japanese version of Einhänder is still affordable while the North American version's price can be a bit ridiculous. But I don't recall XIIStag ever being portrayed as a "bargain" but more frequently as an average to bland (rather than straight-forward) below-average STG. Fujino seems to believe in it otherwise why put in the effort to realize it on the Windows Mobile and Xbox 360 platform (and put the XIIStag ship into Trizeal and Exzeal)? In general XIIzeal wouldn't seem to add too much to the appeal of the overall package - I hope I am wrong ...Danny wrote:Yeah I also remember it being released "budget price" here in the UK so it was never going to reach dizzying heights on the aftermarket.

I give everything shit that isn't in my top 25 (and many things that are anyway) but XII Stag is just particularly hilarious in the design departmentBPzeBanshee wrote:XIIZeal/XIIStag is actually an allright game, but guys like nZero/victolap tend to give it a fair bit of shit because of the arcade version's wobble shot which is known for wearing out joysticks considerably more than the average shmup.
I love that Fujino manages to include the ship/mechanic in every subsequent production, it wouldn't surprise me if PengoZeal had some implementation of wiggling and backfire.
That brings some hilarious images to mind.nZero wrote:it wouldn't surprise me if PengoZeal had some implementation of wiggling and backfire.
