First CAVE title for Steam.

Winter 2015

$19.99 (optional DLC price TBD)

YASSSS

Official info:

Hey everyone! Really glad to see that you're excited for Mushihimesama on PC.

Some more information about this announcement:

This game is based on the X360 version, "Mushihimesama HD". It includes 360 Mode, Novice, and Arrange Modes.

Replay sharing has been added for this version, so that's something new.

1.5 Mode will be available as optional DLC. This was the best way we could figure to do this, since it was previously a very exclusive mode for 1st edition versions of the game.

Saw some concerns about price: Remember, this is Steam we're talking about here. It's going to be on sale sooner or later .

The game is also very friendly to new players, so don't let that discourage you if you're worried about difficulty. The mechanics are intuitive and the game includes a very gradual difficulty curve, spanning several modes and difficulty settings. A Novice mode is included.

There will probably be a live preview of this game later this week, stay tuned.

[Producer]

[Cmagus]

YEEEESSSSSSSS give it to me now.

 

[Nyoro SF]

Now we're talking.

 

[BadWolf]

Ready to get my butt whooped.

 

[Rhaknar]

I thought you had misspelled Muramasa

Now I'm sad

 

[epmode]

YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

DOUBLE-DIPPING WITHOUT HESITATION

CAPS CAPS CAPS

 

[Prototype]

I've been wanting to play Mushihimesama Futari forever, so this is about as good as it gets. Will be picking this up for sure.

 

[BocoDragon]

They picked the exact right title! Great news!

It got a high res graphical makeover for the 360 version right?

 

[desmax]

Oh, I'll definitely Cave in

 

[corrosivefrost]

Awesome.
Will buy.

Now give me Deathsmiles.

 

[ieptbarakat]

Amazing, can't wait to play it.

 

[Shmuppers]

oh shit

 

[Risette]

hopefully the steam version has 1.5, it's super fun and having it locked behind first print bonuses for the 360 version was extremely ungood

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

 

[To Far Away Times]

Fantastic choice.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Ojhhhhhh damn!!!

Day 1

 

[BeamImpact]

bring it on!

 

[InfiniteNine]

Awesome I hope 1.5 it's available for it somehow.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Cave is sooooo awesome. PC guys are in for a treat.

 

[Sophia]

Take my money CAVE. Take it. Take it all. omg.

 

[epmode]

(BTW, I will do unspeakable things for 1440p support. Please don't top out at 1080p)

 

[Finaika]

ERMAHGERD!!!

4K 120fps?

 

[BocoDragon]

(BTW, I will do unspeakable things for 1440p support. Please don't top out at 1080p)

Since these are sprite based games... Does this even matter?

 

[Hastati]

Fantastic choice.

I think it may have been your avatar that first introduced me to Mushihime-sama, for which I became a fan and even led me to buy one of the old figures with soundtrack, and now we have come full circle again. And even if it wasn't, I approve of your avatar and this news as well. Good times are upon us.

 

[To Far Away Times]

There's a mention of Additional Mode DLC on the website. I'm hoping that means the Matsuri version will be available.

 

[Cmagus]

I need to find a good stick for PC since all these games are coming.

 

[Risette]

(BTW, I will do unspeakable things for 1440p support. Please don't top out at 1080p)

same. one of the reasons I'd like to double dip is the ability to buy a monitor higher res than 1080p, since that's where the 360 scaler caps out at and monitor scalers will introduce lag and other junk.

 

[RoryDropkick]

Haha, and I almost made a new thread for this but I chose to bump the other Cave annoucement thread instead.. oh well!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

HOT DAMN! I didn't expect them to go with Futari's prequel...ace news really. This seems like an excellent move simply because the game's not had the best porting history and is well-regarded enough but lies in the shadow of its sequel. Cave's doing the port, so this will be a tell-all of whether they're going to deliver on future ports, and I'm optimistic here.

 

[epmode]

Since these are sprite based games... Does this even matter?

Not as much as with 3D games but native support is always better than the incessant blur when upscaling 1080p content to 1440p through my video card.

 

[To Far Away Times]

And even if it wasn't, I approve of your avatar and this news as well. Good times are upon us.

Awesome. Thanks.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

That's a long ass word.

 

[wild wild rice]

Prepare to splooge.

 

[Tain]

congrats PC-exclusive gamers, Steam is now a serious contender in the STG genre

god I'm buying this so immediately

Extra bonus that this game was one of the region-locked 360 ports.

 

[Momentary]

Is this the first one or Futari? Either way I am so I upset that I can't by this right now.

 

[orfax]

Nice. I'm looking forward to it.

 

[To Far Away Times]

Is this the first one or Futari? Either way I am so I upset that I can't by this right now.

The first one. It's one of the few modern CAVE games that isn't available in the west or region free.

 

[Nickle]

Why do these type of games all only use a vertical part of the screen? Is it just tradition, or is it just common for people to rotate their monitors to play?

 

[threelights]

Holy shit. Never played Mushihimesama, but I've heard good things.

Also, it seems like a good port content-wise.

Day 1 for me!

lordy

 

[Finaika]

That's a long ass word.

It means bug princess.

 

[Grief.exe]

Since these are sprite based games... Does this even matter?

PCs don't upscale well, so native support for high resolution would be key. Sprite based games look super crisp when upscaled correctly.

 

[BocoDragon]

I guess it's not "Bug Princess" this time?

Got it. I'm with you then.

 

[Tain]

Why do these type of games all only use a vertical part of the screen? Is it just tradition, or is it just common for people to rotate their monitors to play?

They're ports of arcade games that used 4:3 monitors rotated sideways. It makes sense to use a vertical aspect ratio for an arcade-based vertical scrolling game (to maximize active play area size in a dedicated machine and all).

 

[Momentary]

I played the first MushI like it was my job on PS2.

 

[To Far Away Times]

Why do these type of games all only use a vertical part of the screen? Is it just tradition, or is it just common for people to rotate their monitors to play?

There are a few "vertizontal" games like Gigawing that use the full screen but you have a huge area to roam, and there's a lot more to track on screen at once.

 

[AzureEternal]

It's about time.

Now we just need SaiDaiOuJou.
