Yeah, I was going to say all EX-GOKU is doing is downloading them from that JP torrent site and putting them up on youtube. Go to the source and download them yourself to get much better quality!

Mine shipped Saturday, according to tracking it's somewhere in the air right now (or more likely not scanned in at the UK airport yet).

Very nice, any chance of a closeup picture of the PCB I want to see
if they have added more FLASH chips ?

Is it a proper sticker and a proper manual sheet ?

I'll grab a PCB pic when I install it later.
Sticker strip, glossy dipsheet. I might be mistaken but we may have a third shade of cardboard too, but thats being a bit anal.

Is there a reason you use letters instead of numbers? Because that one video clearly says 1-2 not A-2.


On another note, I don't get this fixation people have of photographing their game-related stuff on the floor. Look at auctions -- everyone does it.

I hope you wiped that floor squeaky clean beforehand, SuperPang!

uuuh, where elso do you have a big clean surface that you can place both a poster and a kit on?

anyways, good to see cave got their senses back and made a sticker strip instead of the poor quality ones weve seen lateley.

im kinda digging the artwork on thisone aswell, im not really into anime-cutsey-loli shit otherwise so im not sure why that is.. maybe the gameplay (which looks better and better, starting at incredible) is spilling over onto my other impressions :P

I can't speak for everyone else, but the reason why I do it is because I don't have enough open space anywhere else in the house to lay everything out in one big picture.

Hit the Gear button at the top, then check the second option and hit OK. Then hover over the Download button and select the second option.

No you don't just follow Gwyrgyn Blood's example. Then click the download
button in the upper left corner.

Castlevania: The Shmup.

Also, that owl makes a sound that reminds me of the penguin in Mario 64. The boss tune is really catchy!

:lol: Yeah, a bit. The overall groove is pretty similar, humpa thmupa.

TYRANNOSATAN is a pretty fitting name for a last boss.

Yeah, I was wondering what's up with that. Must be the easiest difficulty.

Perhaps. Although I'm thinking it might transfer between ranks.
Someone with the board needs to test it out.

I thought that was max rank ... or at least I was under the impression the number of forms that boss has depends on what Rank you are on. Of course I'm probably just crazy. :I

Deathly ill right now (sucks... great way to finish off a weekend...still in bed on Tuesday) but regardless of what area you choose, stages are always 1-1,1-2,1-3. When you choose from the map (IE -- the specific area, not the order you do them in) they are denoted w/ letters. Unless I'm having flashback hallucinations. I am kind of dehydrated so that's possible. Look at my old AM Show footage. Should be the same.

My biggest disappointment w/ the kit is that the POP is nearly identical to the AM SHow & Loke test pop...other than the material and size.

EDIT: Sorry if that didn't make much sense. I'm still way aloof. Going back to bed.
