DoDonPachi Resurrection for Xbox 360 getting a PAL release

Holy shit, Rising Star Games are so awesome. SO AWESOME. Due out towards the end of the year. Like their DeathSmiles release, every copy also comes with a soundtrack CD.

http://www.risingstargames.com/games/dodonpachi-resurrection-xbox-360.html

DoDonPachi Resurrection is converted directly from the Arcade version for the Xbox 360 in full HD resolution. The Xbox 360 release is a deluxe edition featuring three different modes of gameplay and the game's soundtrack on a separate disc. The Black Label arrange mode will be available to download as DLC on the day of release.

This is Rising Star Games's second CAVE shoot-em-up of this year, following the hugely popular Deathsmiles.

Features

Home gamers can now experience Dodonpachi Resurrection the way it was intended for arcades

Challenge the complex scoring system of Arcade mode in full HD resolution with an arcade stick or Xbox 360 controller

Dodonpachi Resurrection for the Xbox 360 features a remixed mode "Arrange B" which adjusts itself according to the user's play style

Exclusive to the console release, "Arrange A" is the second remixed mode

With every play-through, bullets increase or decrease according to skill

With each clear, enemies get harder to kill and more bullets fill the screen leading to incredible scoring opportunities

Borrows some gameplay mechanics from PS2 shooter classic and prequel "Daioujou" for a massive challenge

Compare your scores with the best of the best using the online leaderboards and replays.

Revered Black Label mode and enhanced Version 1.51 will be available as paid for DLC

Great news for PAL shmuppers!

Be sure to buy the Black Label DLC, it's the best version of the game. And what about the "Daifukketsui" arrange?

I'm sure that they will bring this too, but only BL and 1.51 at release.

bought, together with kofxiii
 
Yes please.

I'm still annoyed about Deathsmiles II though, which got a 'Games on Demand' digital release for 360 in NA but isn't available here in Australia (or in other regions as well, presumably).

On behalf on NA, we'll gladly trade Deathsmiles II for DDP Resurrection.

agreed. im on teh Australian server and i cant get it either. Deathsmiles was one of my fave Cave games. i can get DSII on PCB but it would be around $2000USD....
 
Good job Rising Star, I'm glad they had enough success with DeathSmiles to bring this over as well. Hopefully DeathSmiles IIX and Akai Katana will follow as well, then there will be no need to buy a Japanese 360 console.
 
I hope you guys get DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu Black Label too. maybe you can just dll it from the JPN marketplace?? but that still means you're missing out on Ketsupachi - what I spend 75% of my time playing.

Don't get me wrong, any localized DDP game is AWESOME news for those who haven't played it, but DFKBL > DFK 1.5 - better soundtrack, 1 loop, more difficult, you can turn off autobomb etc..

somewhat true. There's still ketsui: kizuna jigoku tachi, dodonpachi daifukkatsu black label, dodonpachi daioujou black label extra (if you haven't played the ps2 version), and other non-cave developed games like radirgy noa massive, senko no ronde/duo, mamoru-kun etc..

Akai katana shin would be an awesome localization for you guys if you could make it happen. I've probably sunk over 150 hours into it already and I'm still loving the crap out of it :). I'm sure rising star has already been considering it. DSIIX is more fun than DS, but DS has the better aesthetics - which fun > aesthetics, but it would have been nice for cave to nail both in the 2nd installment.
 
Good for Europe!

But yeah, Black Label is, in this case, the better game. This is the only Cave game I say that about, though I haven't played enough DOJ and DOJ BL.

whoopsie! should have read through the entire feature section.

In that case, I would recommend everyone who buys DDP DFK to snag BL/1.51. Seriously the best Cave DLC I've ever bought (even more so than Futari BL). The scoring is a tad broken (not nearly as bad as DDP DFK 1.5 Arrange B was) since you can basically double your score with bombs on the last boss, but I've been playing it more for the fun factor rather than competing on leaderboards. Everything I mentioned in my previous post is better than 1.5.

They why haven't you bought a Japanese 360 yet?
Diminishing returns? I've got Mushi Futari, Espgaulda II, DeathSmiles I and II and Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets. Akai Katana is the only one I actually REALLY want now and I'm confident that will be Cave's next GoD release.

Ah that makes sense.
 
Holy fuck this is awesome news! My most wanted game at the moment. Will buy the shit out of this when it releases. RSG are too awesome.

Dear some North American publisher,

Please release this I'll love you forever.

xoxo Lambtron.
Agreed. I already have a US 360 so I can’t, in good conscience, justify buying a Japanese 360. Though I do love my shmups. I region-free release would be welcome too.
