[X360] Mushihime-sama Futari Ver. 1.5 is region free

[bcass]

I've got a japanese and uk xbox so I'll check it and post as soon as it arrives.

You don't need to. It's already been confirmed as working on NTSC-U and PAL models.

Hahaha Play-Asia upped their price from $68.90 to $74.90, I guess they're going to milk it now that they know it's region free.

I imagine it's 'cause they just sent out their Christmas coupons for $8 off $50 and $12 off $100. Futari's probably one of their hot sellers so they don't want people just ordering that w/ a coupon and losing profits. It's just like local stores that advertise "HUGE X% OFF SALE!!!" and then jack up their normal prices.

Mine shipped this morning too... I also did the Play-Asia slow shipping.

I don't remember how long it took last time. I'm in New York, USA... anyone have any estimate?

I ask because I'm leaving for a 9-night cruise next Friday... the post office will hold my mail for me, but on one previous occasion, a package got lost while they were doing this (it was something cheap and unimportant; we only remembered it months later). So I'm hoping it'll get here sometime in the next 8 days!

I remember ordering Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary on P-A using the slowest shipping.

From my experience I am probably gonna get it Monday or Tuesday.


You are living in New York, I am in Virginia, so I am not sure if there will be much difference in shipping times.

Asada posted a new blog entry about the release date for Mushihimesama Futari v1.5 being upon us. In particular, he noted that the v1.01 DLC won't be available until around 7pm JST on 11/26. That works out to approximately tomorrow morning for people in the U.S. and closer to noon for those residing in Europe. He asks everyone please wait patiently to use their DLC code

Nothing new about DOJ-patch?

[t0yrobo]

Out of curiosity, has anyone that has received their copy installed it to the HDD yet? I'm wondering how big it is.

There's a torrent around that's 6.75. I don't know how that translates to the install size though.

[mrtie]

PA has shipped mine out today, I also went for the pricey shipping so I hope I get it quickly, I'll post up some vid's of what the HD mode looks like on my cab, as DS looked great on it. Excited to finally try this game!

Some dude put up videos of Novice Original and Novice Ultra for Normal Palm.

Very good showing of how much Novice simplifies the game, and confirmation of auto-bomb. I haven't watched either full run, but an interesting note is that the player gets two bombs for the stage 2 boss.

I've run into a few people who have a passing interest in Futari, or shooters in general...or who want to support region-free releases, but are afraid to buy this one because they've been scared off by that one clip of the Ultra last boss. Show them these videos so they buy the game, because I want to play ESPGaluda II's arrange modes without having to import a 360.

[emphatic]

Wow, Novice Ultra looks kinda fun actually.

[Trevor spencer]

mine was shipped today from PA

[KisakiProject]

Mine Shipped Yesterday from PA!

Anyone know how the continues are going to work yet?

you even get a bomb when you defeat certain enemies in stage 5, and the secret extend spot reveals 2 1-ups

I was gonna say 'god that looks boring' before I read the rest of your post. You've got a point. The more people interested, the better-- and I want to see more region-free ports too

Yeah, that is 6.75 gigs. Man, COD MW2 was about that size. What the hell is on that disc alot of dummy data?

Roughly 6 gigs of awesome.

[Geezer]

Uh oh. Look at these two auctions, judging from the pictures etc. they are the same seller and two different accounts.

This one doesn't have a sticker on the case and the auction doesn't mention the DLC card.
This one does have a sticker and explicitly mentions the DLC card.

I really hope Play-Asia's stock includes the DLC card.

Wow, this looks... much easier. I kind of suck so I might take advantage, and this is probably what I'll show my friends. But besides auto-bomb, what are the specific differences? It looks like the bullet patterns are either different, slower or just plain old easier. I'm watching the boss at the beginning of the last part of the video, and it definitely DOESN'T look like Ultra!

sjoecool1991, thanks for giving me some faith regarding shipping speed =)

[Shelcoof]

both my LE and SE versions shipped today... booyaa

[chempop]

My LE just shipped from NCSX, Massachusetts is close so maybe by friday... as they say...
BE PRAYING BE PRAYING BE PRAYING BE PRAYING BE PRAYING BE PRAYING BE PRAYING

[mirkvid]

Went home for lunch and saw that FedEx had tried to deliver it already. Gunna pick it up after work and have the best 4 day weekend ever.

[TLB]

Just to add another one to the stack, NCSX shipped mine today; UPS Ground :) I wanted to change it to USPS Priority, but I couldn't get my NCSX password :/

[kemical]

I probably wont get it until monday, I bet UPS will try delivering to work friday but no one will be here

[Momijitsuki]

Still nothing on my end yet. When did you all send in your preorders?

[Rezatron]

Nothing for me either, but I only ordered it from PA yesterday (before the price hike hehe) so I guess i'm last in line.

same here!

[Dandy J]

i ordered the 18th (with slow shipping) and it shipped today

[dcharlie]

working from home , will go pick it up either lunch time or after work.

[t0yrobo]

Mine hasn't shipped from NCSX. When I emailed earlier they told me it was scheduled to go out Friday, I think I may have wound up in that 3/8th of orders that haven't arrived yet. And I had put my order in around 2 days after the region free announcement

[agustusx]

NCSX has changed my status to shipped and the UPS tracker says it should be here tuesday. If it makes it by tuesday that would be awesome since im off the last three days of next week

edit: and my order date was 9-16 for those who are curious.
