[General Discussion] Mushihimesama Futari & ESPGaluda II - More deaths per minute than World War II

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.

::no one ever gets it ever::

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Anyone order from NCSX and not have it ship yet, or did most of you go P-A?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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

Most amazing jew boots

Umm, yeah. It's not the same game. It's the sequel.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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.

Most amazing jew boots

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?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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.

How ya doing, buddy?

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.
