This game i'm genuinely excited about, and I generally prefer Raizing to CAVE. I wonder if there's going to be any DLC for this game, though i hope there isn't.

One day Cave will make an arrange mode based on Mars Matrix.

On that day, the world will be drenched in semen. My semen. And perhaps dog and horse semens as well.

I'm pretty sure LE stands for Lame Edition at this point.

I guess its appeal is pretty limited, though!

Nah seriously, have fun. I still have to wade through two terrible, horrible, no good very bad days before I can even think about checking my mailbox. I'd shoot myself but the bullet would cancel into like 700 more and kill everyone I ever loved.

Didn't follow this post much so far.
Is there any guide yet for the different modes, scoring system and achievements?
I am particularly interested in how the "Omake" mode works.

Also very nice from Cave to include a Novice mode again. Makes you feel kind of happy when you can easily 1cc at least this mode. ;-)

Omake is opened after you clear the game once.

It has totally new rules. There's this big counter up at the top of the screen which goes up with all the green gems you pick up, and the same counter is around your character as well. It seems to reset at the start of every level.

There is no barrier, but if you get hit you go into auto-barrier which spawns green gems, sorta like the Arrange mode on the PS2 port of EspGaluda. Bullets turn red around your character in a certain radius and when you go into Kakusei, those bullets disappear.

I wonder if you can unlock it by clearing Novice twice.

Got my copy in. Only able to play around with it for for a bit since I'm pretty busy with other stuff at the moment, but it seems pretty good so far, heh. I haven't played the arcade game in awhile but it seems like I haven't lost too much skill! The HD graphics look really nice...

I also think in terms of graphics it's the nicest looking 360 port from Cave so far.

On the downside, I actually find some of the BGM quite repetitive and partly annoying (especially the boss tracks seem more or less the same for all bosses). I preferred the BGM from Mushihimesama or also DoDon Pachi.

A word of warning to those who ordered from NCSX: the weather here in New York is awful and there's no guarantee that shipping won't be affected. I figured I'd have the game tomorrow but I'm lowering my expectations.

I've been listening to the arcade soundtrack constantly... I love it. How different is the arrange version?

The positive comments about the graphics are exciting. I can't wait to play this.

From what Animaitor said in other forums (he already has his copy) it looks like there are no scanlines options :cry: just like DS.
Althoug if it looks nice like Futari it won't be real problem.

I'm not too concerned. I just got my shipping confirmation as soon I read your post. Kind of scary how the timing was :|

A playthrough of Arrange Mode is already up on nicovideo.

pt1: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9828422
pt2: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9830387
pt3: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9830440
pt4: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm9830480

Nice colour cancelling mechanic, typically complicated Yagawa fare. Ikarugaluda... LOL.

Play-Asia shipped my LE off today. Can't wait to get stuck in to this game properly.
