Xbox 360: Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 (November 2009)

[rancor]

Thank you Dr. Obvious.

Not everyone knows, or even cares to know the ins and outs of katakana.
You only reveal more about yourself with snarky comments such as those.

[PsychoGun]

Wife in Katakana is "waifu."

That's how a real Japanese person would say it.

[NzzpNzzp]

Wife in Katakana is "waifu."

Wow, what is it in romaji?

[prismra]

Can someone explain to me how I play 1.01 mode? The main menu has 1.5, Arcade and Black Label showing as options. I have downloaded and installed the 1.01 DLC.

Are you signed in on the account you got 1.01 from?

[prismra]

Is it supposed to appear on the main menu?

[drunkninja24]

Yes, if you have it, it appears on the main menu.

[prismra]

Thanks, got it sorted.

All right then. Updated the OP with the following:

- Will the game work on my console?
All versions of the game, including Platinum Collection, are region-free, meaning it works on any Xbox 360 console.

- Where can I buy it from?
The following sites ship internationally.

Play-Asia - PLATINUM COLLECTION (Located in Hong Kong, affiliate linked)

Also, removed all the broken cave-stg links, as it's now a dead site.

[apatia77]

Is the Platinum version any different to the full priced version? Do you still have to pay for the Black Label DLC as before or is it included?

[Domonic Cobb]

From the official Cave Facebook page.

A bit of bad news!!!!!!

Random Facebook user: do you know if the Platinum Collection for Mushihimesama Futari going to have the Black Label version included just like you did with the Deathsmiles Platinum Collection? Thanks!!

Official Cave Response 10 hours ago: Black Label will not be included on-disc for the Platinum Edition! Please also keep in mind that this release will be region-locked to Japan. >_<

Well, sh*t... But what's it with Play-Asia having the game as region-free in their shop??? Hmm, I cancelled my order, just to be sure. I guess, word to mouth will be quick to tell if it were really region free...



Edit: here's the link to what I'm referring to at the moment (10. november 2010, 14:22 EST)

Facebook:

Cave: "Actually I take that back about the region-free status. Even Asada doesn't seem to know. Maybe someone can test it out? "

So it is region free?

CAVE is trolling us

Hmm... I just sent an inquiry-mail to play-asia. Let's approach this "logically". Shops which sell games etc. usually get their copies a few days before the actual release, so the can prepare the shipping and all that. As I know, play asia offers quite good service, and it would be counter-productive to offer false information. This, together with the big probability that they already have the copies which they will start selling tomorrow let's me conclude that they have probably tested it and could confirm, that it's actually region free.

Now, first of all, sorry for the wild speculation. Second, sorry for my not-so-eloquent english. I hope I could explain what I mean.

No, that's just confusion.

On the other hand, if they'd spread rumours about DDPDFK being region free... THAT would be trolling de luxe... No, actually, that would be pure evil...

[Keade]

No, that's just confusion.

I know this will sound like a trolling attempt, but I do think that also shows how little they care for the western market (or the rest of the world, whatever), though. But it is funny anyway.
I suppose I will be waiting for a definite answer too, thanks for asking P-A.

edit : uum...is Cave actually on Facebook btw, I'm starting to think that was a silly joke.

Jup, cave is on facebook, but I actually haven't seen such a comment. Ja, the thought crossed my mind that this is a joke... But let's see what play asia has to say.

Edit: oh bollox, I just found the mentioned comments. They were in the comments of a post for mushihimesama bug panic...

[Altered Edge]

I hope it's region free as i've just bought it lol

[Drachenherz]

Yay, got an email from Play Asia, I copy paste it here:

Dear Andi,

Thank you for contacting Play-Asia.com.

We confirm the platinum edition is region free as we have tested it.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,

Michelle
Play-Asia.com




This is it! It IS region free!

And yeah, my Name is Andi.

[Aliquantic]

Thank you for checking that By the way, does anyone know if that version includes 1.01 by some mysterious stroke of luck?

[apatia77]

Managed to 1CC my first Cave game. I know it's only BL but still I managed somehow luckily even though I stupidly lost 1 life in stage 2 LOL and I missed the 1UP as well.

I am not the most gifted player but still I am enjoying shmups.

[stryc9]

Mushi Futari is crazy good.

[KisakiProject]

If by some miracle platinum contains 1.01 I will totally buy a second copy. Why doesn't CAVE release it on XBL for 400 points? I'm still mad at PLAY-ASIA for screwing me over. Had that thing pre-ordered for months and didn't get my code.

But currently at $35 I'm wondering how many copies I should order as XMAS gifts.

Also given that regular and limited had different art what do you guys thing of the possibility of Platinum having different art?

[Fudoh]

But currently at $35 I'm wondering how many copies I should order as XMAS gifts.

already ordered a few! Finally an opportunity to do some good in the mainstream gaming community

Hello,

I have a question regarding this item:

http://www.play-asia.com/Mushihimesama_ ... -3yu5.html

What is the difference between it and the earlier release? Does it include
any modes that weren't present in the Standard edition of Mushihimesama
Futari 1.5 for Xbox 360?

Thanks.

Dear Vladimir,

Thank you for contacting Play-Asia.com.

There are no main differences among them.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,

Michelle
Play-Asia.com

So there you have it, it's just a cheaper version of the SE. :)

[Chacranajxy]

Hmm... I think I'm going to pick up Futari, Deathsmiles (Plat), and Daifukkatsu all in one go later this month.
