hmm... I'll probably wait for NCSX to get their preorders up. Quicker shipping + I like them better than Play-Asia.

Hopefully I'll be able to get it in time for my birthday on the 29th.

The auto-bomb killed this game for me - maybe one of the modes will have an "auto-bomb off" option. If Black Label was on the disc I'd pre-order... going to wait for more details first.

Properly utilising the bombs is a challenge and should stay in the games I agree.

Auto bomb is kinda like extra lives imo

Yeah, the reason i'm not preordering this is because of the autobomb.

In Power mode your bomb button switches shot type - you can pick up one bomb only, which I think is an auto bomb. Been a while... Anyhow, there's no default mode where you start with 3 bombs and you get you ass kicked for hitting a bullet. It's all about chaining and scoring... Survival doesn't become much of an issue until relatively late in the first loop, and when I played it I had no sense of accomplishment about my progress - but then it's not really about that.

I had a thread for DFK in mind in the same way as my Futari thread, but since you're so thread-happy, knock yourself out.
