[Udderdude]

CAVE couldn't find anyone with the ovaries to bring it over.

Noooooooooooo! God i hope thats not the case...

[BulletMagnet]

I wouldn't freak out just yet, if memory serves they said their next big "we're gonna announce something about this" date would be sometime next month, so I'd say at least wait to see what they say then.

[shmuppyLove]

So many questions!

- Will there be a North American release?
- Will it have a proper TATE mode?
- What is Operator-san's favourite dessert?

We may never know the answers.

What happened to all the talk of a simultaneous worldwide release? Was that just a rumour?

We still don't know diddly dick yet.

I didn't hear a damn thing about Akai Katana getting a US release until about a month before it actually happened. Could be the same thing happening here, but it could possibly not be.

[TrevHead (TVR)]

Didn't Akia and Resurrection bomb? So I wouldn't hold my hopes up with a western release from RSG, If they do we should all chip in to hire hookers in for the team.

I'm hoping that CAVE will make the game RF if there's no interest from western publishers, as unlike the other games they are doing this before the Japanese launch, it should give them plenty of time to know which way the wind is blowing.

They can't be making much of localisations anyway, considering how quickly they drop to £20 which is bugger all compared to how much they get per imported copy.

Dat graze mechanic.

Sexual assault grazing.

Is this still not available for preorder on 360 at Amazon Japan? I can't find a page for it...

NCSX has it available for preorder - it was posted back on page 9ish. Definitely preordered it as soon as it went up.

Seems they've decided on boxart and release date (May 30).

Personally, I quite like that limited edition cover art. Also steel books are always nice.

Why are the Japanese obsessed with people's blood type?

Man... It's like Cave is screaming in my ears to not buy the dull and simple normal edition boxart.

Also, the LE is very similar to SDOJ's 360 port

I didn't hear a damn thing about Akai Katana getting a US release until about a month before it actually happened. Could be the same thing happening here, but it could possibly not be.

Akai Katana's domestic release was announced in January and it came out in May, so if anyone is planning on a worldwide, simultaneous release of SDOJ they should probably get the word out fairly soon.

[KAI]

MAXIMUM HYPE.

[n0rtygames]

This is good. Very good.

Any confirmation on region locking?

[BulletMagnet]

None I'm aware of concerning the possibilities of either localization or region coding. Hopefully they'll say something relevant this month.

[Giest118]

The suspense is killing both me and my entire family. I want to know whether I'll get to play this, I mean, jesus.

[Drake]

dear god so much want

[Skykid]

Hrm. Decent cover, but totally stripped of the kind of artistry that made DOJ's poster so iconic/phallic. All seems so plastic and derivative these days.

I guess you missed the crashed ship that is in the shape of a cock and balls.

[Jeneki]

It wouldn't be a Daioujou cover if it didn't look the the aftermath of a gangbang.

[Squire Grooktook]

I have to admit, as insipid as I find the character designs otherwise, that is some really cool cover art.

[exquisite_torture]

I'm out of my comfort zone with that much lavender.

[BIL]

Nice ship design. It almost looks like the R9 has finally gotten tired of being surrounded by Bydo genitalia for 20+years and made a desperate crash landing in animu cheesecake world.

[Some-Mist]

I'm probably in the minority, but this is the first time I actually prefer the SE art. So fresh and clean.

I'm part of that minority too....
Not really digging the LE boxart
