What about Nanostray 2?
Of course, that's just an opinion.

This is probably going to seem like small potatoes, but the SNK compilation for the PS2/PSP has Last Resort on it. I believe that's coming out in April, or sometime around there.

Just recently (this may have been late 2007), mamedev managed to crack (or nearly crack anyway) the encryption around Raiden II/DX. Not sure on the details. I think Viper Phase 1 was cracked too.

So you are willing to buy a several hundred dollars system for one game which may or may not be released in the future.

Why not buy a several hundred dollars PCB now?
Cuz with the console, you could conceivably play other games cheaper than buying their arcade boards. Also, space considerations.

No update for Triggerheart on Xbox?

I too feel reluctant to buy one of those new consoles. Next-gen games seems to be all about eye candy and no fun. And each console seems to have advantages and disadvantages to consider, while back in the day you could pick any console without any worries...it was just a matter of preference.

DOJ and Ketsui alone isn't enough for me to buy a 360, but if more Cave ports come to it (ESPGaluda II, Death Smiles, Futari, etc), then I might get one. But still, I don't want to be worried how long it's going to keep working.

I think now it's still just a fairly simple matter of preference. They've all got things to criticise, and like any previous games machines they've all got small disadvantages, but in the end every one has some amazing games (and you only need some!). The many fanboyish arguments even hold true in some cases, but unless you're ridiculously particular or fussy each of them are a bloody good plaything to have. Having each one I couldn't honestly say I don't enjoy any of them, and if I just had one I'd be happy to have either...

Yes, Viper Phase 1 works in MAME for me. It does say that the emulation is not 100% when you load it up.

Has anyone played Novastrike on the PSN yet? I've read it described as a cross between Time Pilot and Xevious. The only review I've read so far isn't good:

sometimes the emulator just detects a bad dump or somethin... ViperPhase has been "workin" on mame for quite awhile now (like 2 years or so), and the emulation of this one (and RF) has gotten even better recently.

i'd like to see Ibara and Ketsui on that... but i already have ibara on the PS2, so Ketsui would do hehe.

First post needs an update!

Raiden IV is no longer a rumour:

See!

And for some reason we missed the Otomedius 360 annoucement off the list...

Wasn't there an announcement from Triangle Service that they (well, "he" actually) planned on porting Shooting Love 2007 to XBox 360?
