no, you find sample games in many used shops here in japan, they're promo copies.

No, this box was seen in Tokyo, Japan. There`s always one.

I am typing using the Roman Alphabet but I`m not in Italy.

I was just assuming that it was japanese...

But yeah Kanjii are basically chinese charakters.
Sry for joking about that ^^"

Was reading Sakari Masaki (port director for 5pb)'s blog yesterday and it seems that he's got some free time lately, so maybe the game is done. Now as for when it ships, still stupidly vague.

Argh, I really wanted to be playing this at least in January.

I don't know why they don't use the wallpaper size to enlarge your score and hit counter, like superplays do.

Anyway, is it safe to say that Ketsui's coming out after this? Or at the same time.. or at all..

There's always a chance.

It looks a lot better now than it did last year. Given Futari's popularity, if it comes out it'll likely be sooner than say, Muchi Muchi Pork.

They've always seemed to talk about it as coming out after, and afaik nothing has changed about that.

True. But considering a MMP port will never come out (just like a Pink Sweets port will never come out), that doesn't exactly help in narrowing down Futari's release. How soon is "sooner than never"?

henry dark · Post by **henry dark** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 4:38 am

Futari does seem the next obvious choice. As one of the most insanely addictive shooters ever made, it would make the world a better place to see this on 360.

1.5 and BL in the same package, please!

Elixir · Post by **Elixir** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 4:43 am

Meh, if MMP was ported it would sell because of fat lolis and nothing else. I've had MMP, and while fun, if you don't like Ibara (or basically any shmup that focuses on score over survival), then just forget about it entirely. I don't think it's going to be ported in the future, but Futari is possible given that the previous game in the series was, and since, I suppose, it's "popular".

But then again Ketsui is "popular" and the port is currently AWOL, so I don't know. It's difficult for people to lay down such cash for something they've never played before, but the resell demand is pretty high so if someone buys Futari, the chances of them selling it here are high. I don't think there has been a single Futari or Ketsui board on these forums that has lasted 2 weeks (observing over the past 5 months).

'Delayed' is not 'AWOL'

Elixir · Post by **Elixir** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 4:50 am

I consider it AWOL because:

- It's TBA at Play-Asia
- There's no official release date
- It's set for sometime next year on Famitsu
- Someone here received an email saying DOJBL ships in June, which means Ketsui could come after it

So basically nobody fucking knows. AWOL.

henry dark · Post by **henry dark** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 4:53 am

I think Famitsu (or the website?) said 'this winter'

But, no, nothing concrete. I guess when I think of AWOL I think of Duke Nukem 3 or something

Is that what you say when Japanese people ask you, "Can you read Chinese Kyarakuta?"

...and that whole KAN = Chinese, JI = Character thingy majig.

That was just a placeholder date. I highly doubt an English import site is going to get the official date before Famitsu or a Japanese sales website.

It's still a grey area and nobody really knows when either game will be getting released, so all we can do is wait until next year and hope more information arises.

I hope not, a PSP release would be amazing. Especially considering that the system is region-free and they've sold such a ridiculously large amount of units. Dunno if a shmup would really work on that screen though who knows, the genre is definitely suited to portable gaming though in my opinion.

I was getting at how shmups are easy pick-up and play games and suited to short bursts of play more than anything. But yeah screensize could be an issue, I wouldn't worry about bullet count though the PSP is more than powerful enough to chuck some sprites around lol.

The d-pad on the PSP is horrendous.

Perhaps, if you were only talking about 1st-gen PSPs and never bothered to do one of those ufighterx mods. What's next, you're going to complain about the Square button?

You mean this? http://www.ufighterx.com/guides/videoga ... padfix.htm

I don't think voiding your warantee and having to do all this crap to get a decent d-pad is anywhere near reasonable.

Frederik · Post by **Frederik** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 1:22 pm

Yeah, I have a second-gen PSP and the pad is very usable. I guess Sony actually reacted to the consumer complaints. Don´t know about the newest model, though, but I can´t imagine they made them worse again.

Got an email this morning from NCS:

Dear NCS Customer,

We would like to let you know that the release date for Xbox 360 DoDonPachi Daioujou Black Label Extra has been delayed from December 26 to an undetermined date in early 2009. We will update you again when we have the new release date. Thanks.
