Ok Cave, we get it !!!!!! (New Pink Sweets details + Sample within)
 

God O_o

As if they weren't awesome enough this year with Ibara and ESPGaluda II, they've added more awesomeness to Pink Sweets.

It was pushed back from its initial Nov 22nd release to Dec 4th.

Here's the reason : They're giving it the ESPG2 double CD treatment !

But instead of relying on the arrangers of ESPG2, they've brought in stars.... STARS I say !!!

Check out these names :

Yuzo Koshiro (Actraiser, Streets of Rage)
Ayako Saso (Rolling Thunder 2, Galaxian^3 : Project Dragoon)
Shinji Hosoe (Ibara, Under Defeat)
Masaharu Iwata (Final Fantasy Tactics, Baroque)
Mitsuhiro Kaneda (ESPGaluda II, Metal Slug 6)
Kimihiro Abe (Hyper Street Fighter II and Mushihimesama remixes)


last but not least: Saitama Saishu Heiki !!!! aka SSH (Lost Child, Atelier Iris Rock arranges)

Ok, so this makes Cave the best soundtrack publisher of this year for me.

Man, I wish everyone else could do awesome stuff like this !!!

Ahem, discuss.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT! Cave, what are you trying to do, give me a heart attack!! That list of arrangers gets me all warm and fuzzy inside. Consider this pre-ordered... like... yesterday!

Yuzo Koshiro? SSH? Wicked!
Now they only need to announce a port...

is it this one?

That's the one indeed =D

Greatly looking foward to it.

Especially for Hosoe, Saso and S.S.H. :edgarrock:

link is broken... it has 3 dots in it.

though I guessed it :P

damn no sample of SSH tracks...

The wait and suspense will pay off, I can feel it ! SSH does amazing remixes with shmup music. Try out his Thunder Force, Hyper Duel and Blast Wind remixes if you haven't yet, they are amazing !

Ninja Edit: Link Fixed :P

anyway with the few samples on the website, I'd say it's a safe purchase :D

*looking for my credit card*

Oh man, the samples sound excellent. What a way to get the slew of great December releases started off. This album can't get here fast enough.
