Revealed in the latest Famitsu to be released on 7/25 by 5pb.

Regular Edition: 7140 yen
Limited Edition: 10290 yen

Danny Dudekisser · Mar 19, 2013

Wow, that's kinda crazy. Good for people who don't have a 360.

Wonder how the port quality will compare. The 360 version was like... perfect.

ponpo · Mar 19, 2013

The MS grip on CAVE has been loosened.

SDOJ PS3 please. I need redemption for being so terrible at the arcade version.

[PS3] 5pb「ケツイ」通常版7140円/限定版10290円

Limited edition too, yahoo.

Monado Blade · Mar 19, 2013

Oh. My. God.

YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day zero purchase!

I've been hemming and hawing on getting an Xbox to play Cave shooters but now it looks like I might not have to at all!

My body and Hori RAP modded with Seimitsus are ready!

BocoDragon · Mar 19, 2013

Oh sweet... I suppose this means region free Ketsui.

Saroyan · Mar 19, 2013

Nice, I don't have a J360 so this is good news

@MUWANdo · Mar 19, 2013

Wait, I thought Cave had a falling out with 5pb over the DOJ port, and that's why Ketsui/DOJ aren't in that box set. Hmm.

IIRC, 5pb outsourced DOJBLEX to a third party who plagiarized Arika's code from the PS2 port of DOJ. That's why DOJBLEX is out of print forever and ever.

I imagine Ketsui's not in the box set because Cave neither published nor developed it.
Same thing with this port.

5pb handled the Ketsui/DOJ ports, while CAVE did the others themselves (well technically M2 got them started). Seems 5pb still has publishing rights to Ketsui. Already have the 360 version, but am I gonna CAVE and double dip? Hmm.....

Edit: Beaten without honor....

@Chacranajxy: Sorry, just....couldn't help myself there. ^_-

Okay, fair enough. Just curious is all.

Dash Kappei · Mar 19, 2013

Oh shit, region-free Ketsui?! So bought.
All my shmups are on 360 tho, I wish Rising Star would bring over the X360 sku at least.

vall03 · Mar 19, 2013

oh! gonna buy this one for region-free shmup!

Any ideas what the limited edition would have over the basic?

The X360 version came with a soundtrack and a superplay DVD, I believe, so I'd expect the same sort of trinkets on PS3. What I'd really like to see myself is new box/disc art. I've been looking at that same ugly ass official artwork for years (10 of 'em), can I haz new art plz?

Rickenslacker · Mar 19, 2013

Holy hell, awesome. I can finally own this.

PepsimanVsJoe · Mar 19, 2013

Think they could have knocked the price down a tad?

Otherwise, great news.

Jacksonlee · Mar 19, 2013

i... have no idea what this is. :S

HitokiriNate85 · Mar 19, 2013

Where is the region-free 360 release? Ahhh!

Awesome for anyone with a PS3, though.

i... have no idea what this is. :S

Top-down shooter developed by Cave.

I'm down for a superplay dvd. LE for me it is (if they do include a superplay that is)

What are you even doing here!!

C-Jo · Mar 19, 2013

I uh, wow. That's unexpected.

I might have to auction off Death Label for this one.

hongcha · Mar 19, 2013

I hope there's a new arrange mode or something. If it's identical to the X360 version, I'll pass.

EDIT: Wait, what am I saying? A Cave shooter on the PS3? Day 1, if only as a curio!

danmaku · Mar 19, 2013

I guess 5PB has still some money to burn on Ketsui... good news, anyway. Ketsui is awesome, if the port has the same perfect quality of the 360 version, it's a must buy for PS3 shmuppers.

Jucksalbe · Mar 19, 2013

This is so bought. I'm really excited for this, I just hope they don't screw up the port.

Dwight Schrute · Mar 19, 2013

Have to be region free right ? The last non region free shmup I want (got the EU ones on 360)

Monado Blade · Mar 19, 2013

Are there any region-locked disc games for PS3?

The only region-locked PS3 games that I know of are some downloadable titles on PSN (PSEye stuff and some others I think).

The only one that springs to mind is Persona 4 Arena, a fairly recent game (and one that still isn't out in Europe).

So unfortunately this means there's a slight chance this game will be region locked then. I'm hoping this is not the case though.

Augemitbutter · Mar 19, 2013

we just talked about Cave coming to PS3 in the Shoot em up thread a few pages back.

glad it's finally happening.

Corto · Mar 19, 2013

And thus my PS3 retail shooter collection grows! Mamoru Kun and now this.

hehehe Day one. And I would be willing to bet that this will not be region locked. I'm sure there won't be a European or US release of this game so there's no international sales to protect from import copies.

5pb sucks, but I'm still tempted.

Would have loved an Arika or M2 production.

Monado Blade · Mar 19, 2013

Beggars can't be choosers when it comes to Cave games on PS3.

JustAnotherOtaku · Mar 19, 2013

Might double dip for region-free handiness since this is probably my favourite Cave game. Then again, I don't fancy paying those imports prices again.

kaioshade · Mar 19, 2013

Day one so hard.

Ketsui is so damned good.

dallow_bg · Mar 19, 2013

Oh yes....

I sort of feel the same, but it'll be worth it to have a back up for when my j360 inevitably red-rings.

Arika or M2 would have been excellent, but 5pb's internal dev is no slouch. They did a fine job with Ketsui. ~~IIRC, EOJ of Cave-STG pegged it as some 95% accurate in a ranking of ports...above Cave's own pre-M2 work on Deathsmiles. (I could be remembering this incorrectly, so don't quote me.)~~ Yeah, I remembered this incorrectly. Regardless of ranking or percentage it's a good port and you should buy it if you're interested.

5pb only fucked up when they outsourced DOJBLEX to a bunch of hack plagiarists.

I don't think it was listed as more accurate than Deathsmiles (also, it really isn't). It's a great port, but it runs a bit faster overall and is missing bits of slowdown, particularly at the end fight against Doom, which looks like it has no slowdown at all in the X360 port.
