They picked the exact right title! Great news!
It got a high res graphical makeover for the 360 version right?
Yeah, Futari is the sequel.
OG Mushihimesama was ported to PS2 and X360, and the Steam version is based off the X360 version.
Cave shooters? On PC? It's still weird reading that.
Mushihimesama is about as good of a pick as anything to start with, between the overall quality of the game and its difficulty curve.
Honestly, any X360 or PS4 stick should work without issues on a PC nowadays, and most of them use identical parts. I know there are some specific preferences for buttons and sticks for shumps, but you can worry about that down the road (and they're relatively easy to swap out, anyway).
Mushihimesama HD with all the improvements and other things? You bet I'll get that one.
I hope they manage to get the same slowdowns as the arcade versions.
The soundtrack I can see but locking modes behind a DLC wall is silly considering how old the game is.
(Buying anyway)
Glorious
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.
So... uh... is this game fun or just hard? I kinda tend to prefer shmups that aren't a complete ordeal. I guess I should skip this one.

Stop it! LolStraight in the toilet.
Will there be a preorder?discount
Also, is tate mode in? I bought a monitor with pivot especially for shmups.
Sell me this game with some cool gameplay vid
That is a joke photoshop.
It may be hard to tell the difference sometimes... Since some Cave games do throw completely undodgeable curtains of bullets at you at the very end. This is not one of those, as far as I remember.

People are seriously complaining about the price. Smh
Also, awesome to see 1.5 as dlc.
I would be OK with this lolNot a bad choice for the first release, but I just hope this doesn't turn into "let's port all the 360 games to PC." I'd like to eventually see that lost Dangun Feveron port, or a first time port for ESP Ra.De. or even an arcade perfect DonPachi/DoDonPachi. Otherwise, I don't see myself double dipping on these.
TATE is in the game (⌐■_■
I don't know yet if there will be a preorder, but historically we have had launch discounts for most games.
They said something like the games wouldn't fit the gog catalog or something along those lines if I remember correctly
First CAVE title for Steam.

Nice. One destined for the Steam library. I had been content with the ios variant on my old iPod Touch, buy this will generaly supersede that now.
I don't know if you have any technical information on this port but I'd really appreciate confirmation that resolutions over 1080p are supported. 1440p in particular.
I can understand how someone would come to the conclusion that bullet hell = hyper difficult = a painful slog, but I think this is a mistake. Games like this are actually really accessible. They're pick up and play fun... just don't expect to get a 1 credit clear at first.
"Easier" bullet hell games like Mushihimesama were the games that finally made the entire genre of shmups click for me as a newbie, several years back. The immediate thrill of weaving through bullet patterns put me in "the zone" in a way that few other shmups ever did. In fact, they were more "instantly satisfactory" to me, which is the opposite of what I believe some people think about bullet hell.
This game won't block you with difficulty. To the contrary, it invites you in and gives you a fast dose of enjoyment. You might not survive long term, but after a few moments attempting to survive waves of bullets, you will get an addictive buzz.
Mushihimesama was in fact the game that got the genre to click for me, just as you say, so happy for this announcement.
Both!
I wouldn't really suggest using them, because I consider the challenge essential in creating the tension that keeps these games exciting, but this does include very easy novice modes to play.
Even without the Novice modes, the "Original" mode is very accessible. You won't clear it your first time through, but any decent player can make real progress over time in these games.
Just want to say "thanks" for these impressions; I've played some "bullet hell"ish games before and enjoyed them (DoDonPachi, Touhou) but I was just credit-feeding where I could. I'll pick this up and see if I can get the genre to click.
Day one purchased. Never got around to getting Mushihimesama HD on 360 due to the region lock, this is amazing news.
Thank you, Cave!
You're probably thinking of Mushihimesama FutariThere was a region free version. I own it.
