And a theme like the Death Smiles bath one!

You can play all their old games on MAME, and they're totally worth it. Games like Guwange or ESPRade are still excellent, even compared with their latest outputs.

I don't think so. Death Smiles preorder bonus was never released on the marketplace. But it's not really a big deal, Mushi 1.0 is basically a beta version, the real Mushi is 1.5. Better save your points for Black Label!
That's my fear as well. I might delay ordering until Play-Asia update the product page after testing it.danmaku said:A friend of mine cancelled his preorder because he's worried that the game will be "region free" just like BlazBlue (only for NTSC regions). When I'll get the game I'll try it on a PAL 360 just to be sure he buys his copy!

ESP Ra De is still better.
Actually I'm just biased for some strange reason.
If you do decide to explore the library of Cave pre-Mushi your best bets are:
Dodonpachi(start with this one!)
Guwange(In Fuedal Japan everyone throws thousands of knives at people until they bloodily explode)
ESP Ra De(Psychic teenagers lay waste to a corrupt government and an old lady. Also features bloodily explosions)
Dangun Feveron(Absurdist Disco-themed romp with an equally ridiculous scoring system)
Titles I'd recommend though you're liable not to recieve them before Futari arrives -
ESP Galuda(Sex-changing angels, bullet-time, and bullets that turn into gems. It's the best shooter ever)
Dodonpachi DaiJouOuJunololz - A Dodonpachi game for people who already beat the last one on both loops without dying. Needless to say this one is kind of hard.
The nice thing about Cave shooters is that despite the difficulty they're quite accessible. My first time with Dodonpachi was on an upside-down screen with inverted controls(don't ask) and I still didn't die on the first stage.

Hey that's just not fair. The Galudas have those interesting scoring systems that are fun as hell while all Ra De has is milking bosses until the game length stretches from 20 minutes to nearly an hour.

So anybody debating on whether or not to pick the Black Label DLC, check out these movies of God mode here:
http://www.cave-stg.com/forum/index.php?topic=15.msg12286#msg12286
If CAVE manages to reproduce the slowdown in a capable manner, I will play a lot of this mode. I already like it in the arcades, but it's just a little too goddamn random to justify spending 50 yen for each game. I think God mode is a really good example of "reasonable extremity" in that yes there's a shit ton of bullets but your hit box is super small, and if you make use of all the exploding enemies/landscape in the level plus the bombs in your inventory you can make it pretty far.

T-minus 3 days.
Video of the screen options here:

A forum poster over at shmups has apparently gotten the game like 7 days early, but he hasn't bothered to confirm whether it's region free or not. I imagine it will be at least for NTSC, we'll have to see for PAL.

You would think that at least nerd mag will get this right. Still remember Exelica review on IGN...
I will have to wait as well, to see if X360 PAL can play this.
There is now a video on the same account supposedly confirming that it's region free:adversesolutions said:

I'm going to wait for a couple more reports before I submit my order but I'm excited nonetheless. This'll be my first cave game since Ibara, I can't wait...

I wish I could play these kinds of shooters, but when there's that much on the screen bulletwise it gives me a bad headache and I faint. :/ Gradius 5 is too much for me and that doesn't have a bazillion shots coming at once.
DCharlie
And even i am moderately surprised
yeah, lets look at the problems with that claim :
1) shot of the box he took are BLACK boxes, he blames this on his camera and bad lighting that took the neon green Xbox boxes and turned JUST that green black.
2) they are from his insider contact (assumedly at cave) and this is why the covers are different to the retail covers. Missing sticker, missing Cave ltd text, missing cave logo. Mentions they are possibly review copies - which wouldn't work and that now they are probably worth $$$ and is kicking himself for not keeping some. Limited Edition expected to come in cardboard outer to house the CD - Limited edition in shot is basic DVD case.
Added: looks like the limited edition CD comes in a nice companion box , not mentioned.
3) sent copies to SHMUPers on thursday saying they'd get them way before anyone else - suggests people are too busy to play the game to log on and give an update. No one has to date logged on to give any credence to the claims.
4) didn't bother to play the game as he has no interest in it what so ever, thus not needing to answer any questions regarding region/specifics of the game.

Yep got the same thing.
Course now I'm worried it'll get lost in the mail. Usually this sort of thing wouldn't bother me but my post office has been sucking shit lately. Twice now they've lost my packages.

Yeah I just read the guy's blog who posted the video, he said that he tried it first in an NA region 360 and it worked fine. He doesn't know about Europe but since CAVE has said region free he assumes it works.
How have previous region free games like Gears of War fared in Europe? Can PAL sets play them?

Yes, I was just stating what I read; I wasn't commenting on Famitsu's journalistic integrity. Shooter scores in the majority of print and mainstream online pubs are a joke as a whole and always seem to lead to "you can keep continuing and use the bomb button to beat the game in 10 minutes". The unfortunate fact is that unless you play these games and know how to play them right, this is exactly what most people will do.kiryogi said:
Trying to decide whether to play it extra cautious and wait on confirmation of PAL compatibility, or to order away.
How come ncsxshop.com doesn't do preorders and stuff like psn tickets, but shopncsx.com does? I'm still baffled why they have two websites (with separate logins for each)

I'll let you know since PA shipped my order and I've forgot to delay it because of the PAL thing -__-

Damn that is a curse! It's no surprise about the 360 since everybody's 360 breaks eventually but your ps3 died too? jeez.
anyways about this game. I just bought Raiden IV yesterday so I'm hyped about that but hearing about this being region free is very tempting. You can never have too many shoot-em-ups!

Otherwise I dont mind Reko-boobs and bullet hell with my turkey
