Mushihimesama Futari & ESPGaluda II - More deaths per minute than World War II
SHMUP Fans Rejoice! Finally CAVE is giving us a region free SHMUP game for the 360!

So you SHMUP fans know what to do. Import this beast for your 360. Go go go! |
Oh god it's so expensive to import but fuck I'm going to do it anyway.
Cup ramen for a week! Cool news about wanting to port stuff to PC, though. And bringing Death Smiles over would be awesome, too. |
Preordered the LE through NCSX like a million years ago.
Knowing my luck it's gonna be LOOOOOOOOL LOOK WE GOT LESS :( like the whole deathsmiles thing, and then I'm gonna not get the 1.01 DLC or the arrange soundtrack, Preorders sold super quick at yes-asia and at P-A though. BAD OMEN FOR ME, because NCSX has a history of overselling, so here's hoping. Xbox360Achievements.org - Mushihimesama Futari Ver 1.5 Achievement List Rough translation from the forums of above link. Spoiler:
No ultra mode one credits, SINCE IMPOSSIBLE (ok that's good) but who knows that's probably what the secret 50G one is. ::no one ever gets it ever:: |
Fuck yes, more money to spend oh fuck
|
I've heard this mentioned, actually.
Is it true region free or is it NTSC region free, and ignore PAL? The only reason I ask is because there are more than one "region free" title on circlebox that doesn't work in Euroland. |
Yeah, that's the thing since no one knows before it's tested. I can see Americans saying "region free!" so long as it works in their region, even if it was just NTSC-U.
|
Well, I already ordered it and it's on its way. So if it doesn't work, you'll hear from me?
It better frickin' work. D:< EDIT: Correction, it's ordered but not yet on its way. :( GET A MOVE ON P-A |
Anyone order from NCSX and not have it ship yet, or did most of you go P-A?
|
MY SHIT IS GETTING COMPLETELY WRECKED
I can't even no miss stage 2, good lord. :( I want to play for survival before going for score, but that'll take me a bit. oh my god the box is so gorgeous. |
FINALLY got it in, had to pay like 15 bucks import taxes on it, but worth it dammit. The game runs on the EU system thankfully (as I'm sure you all already know by now). I really like that Cave even put the downloadable content into the EU (and presumably US) marketplaces, since you can't actually buy the JP ones unless you have JP gamerpoints or a JP creditcard. That really shows that they care (and it's kinda cute how it says "Black Lavel" :3: ).
But for now I'm satisfied with just the 1.5 and arrange modes. I really love how well-balanced this game is though--I played through all the novice modes, and they start out really, really easy, but by the time you're playing Ultra you're doing some pretty advanced stuff already. It really eases you into it though. Then when you go on to Arrange or Arcade, it's actually a pretty smooth difficulty transition. Still suffering pretty badly on harder modes though. Oh also the level 2 song is just too awesome. (Also, color manual! Shrink wrap with the little ribbon thing that makes it easy to open! Music CD! :333: ) |
Yeah, I can 1CC Arrange-Novice, Ultra isn't even that bad in there, but by this point my performance in 1.5-Arcade is pretty abysmal, for all three types. Stage 3 punches me in the gob hard enough to end most survival runs, scoring runs tend to make it about boss 2 before I mess up trying to maximize amber drops.
Maniac is fucking AWESOME THOUGH. I really like this score mechanic. Also I'll consider myself ok at 1.5-Arcade-Ultra if I can 1CC stage 1, christ |
Yeah, really want to get this but I am so broke and helpless =/ Fuck. I simply cannot drop 70+ on one game with all the ridiculous shit dropping q1 010.
|
What's the differences between this and the PS2 version? Is it worth buying if you already own the other?
|
Umm, yeah. It's not the same game. It's the sequel.
|
Lord be praised, we can shit our pants even more:
http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/...1/image197.png Deathsmiles Magically Gets Stateside Release // Siliconera Didn't think it would ever happen actually.When it shows up, Pre-order it now! (That way we could possibly hope for the sequel to show up in the states too |
Wait.
Let me get this straight, exactly. Mushi is set to be region free to test the import waters, to see if there's enough reason to localize. Even with region free to boost sales by a couple thousand, it sells significantly worse overall than just deathsmiles did in Japan, or even Otomedius G...and despite all that crap they bring it out anyway? God damn, that is awesome. I thought after Mushi's numbers it wouldn't have happened. |
I think Gamingforce's extreme bandwidth has killed Siliconera, the link won't load for me. What I want to know: Will there be a PAL release and/or is it region free! It's already pretty much awesome that it's coming out in the US at all though.
|
|
Game doesn't grab me but I'm buying anyway. Anything to get more shmups stateside.
|
Ahh, Aksysgames. The same brilliant minds who said explicitly that Blazblue would be zone-free... and then it wasn't. Well, fingers crossed!
|
SO! Kotaku (el oh el) says EspGaluda II will be region free, but only the standard version.

http://i48.tinypic.com/ajwc9z.jpg Launches next week. Fuck yes video games. |
Fuck yeah,
as long as we are getting some "form" of EspGaluda II region free, then I could care less. Preordering right now. (Here is hoping for Ketsui for the 360 being region free for april!) |
About time some news on this came up.
Put in an order but I'm going to expect it to show up and not work, I trust Kotaku about as far as I can throw Sass, especially a blurb they write that's entirely unsourced. At least I know the soundtrack's good, and that an 80 dollar VGM disc might be the end result of this. EDIT: NCSX has confirmed this via another source (their distributors), and since they are not full of fucking shit like the big K is, this is now trustworthy. Yay. |
And it's shipping early. Even better.
NCSX has gotten their Galuda II copies slightly ahead of schedule and they should be out in the mail two days early. Good news for overnighters, they might have it by Friday. |
What was in the limited edition? I would have thought the disc itself was identical, but apparently not?
|
No one knows exactly, but there are a handful of theories.
The LE probably had to be printed first so it could be bundled with the faceplate, which would have taken longer to manufacture beforehand. Many people assume after the okish response to Futari overseas that they were shopping for an American publisher to take it overseas, but between the printing of the LE and the SE they either were turned down, gave up on it, or didn't find it worthwhile, and in order to get the few thousand extra sales they opened it up. While that makes sense, there's been no official word on it, and this is just some speculation. Who knows? |
Cave Shmups are the only reason that i have to brough a (JAP) 360.
|
Its a real shame though that Espgaluda II is going to be (so far) the last region free cave game for the 360.
|
It makes sense, though. This was more an experiment than anything else, and isn't really worth the pain in the ass they seem to be going through. The import outlook on this is looking better, so considering DeathSmiles and everything, maybe they'll be able to farm a few more out for region 1 release.
Here's hoping, at least. Ketsui would have been nice. |
I'm hoping the sales of DeathSmiles will determine the future decisions for Cave regarding localization or whatever...
|
Ketsui would have been REAALY nice.
after 8 years, i'm still dying for it! |
Just got this little tidbit in my email this morning.

Yeah, they've confirmed this one's not going to be region free. At least they said something about it early instead of waiting until the relative last minute like Galuda.
