Cave titles confirmed for 360

[teddymeow]

Mushihime-sama, ESP Galuda II and (though not a Cave game) Sin & Punishment 2 are on an ever growing list of gaming goodies to pick up when i go on holiday next May.

Dammit, why is that still 5 1/2 months away.

Cave have posted a promo vid of Espgaluda II.
DL links here.

Anyone got any links for the normal edition cheap? convinced my bro to get it for me for xmas.

Tried putting it in my cart on VGI, but it always ends up empty. They must be sold out.

Yeah, this and Daifukkatsu are both duds in that respect.

[Super Monkey Balls]

The original music is wonderful, lots of catchy bits from Galuda 1 in there.

Blatantly stolen from Cave-STG.com - DoDonPachi Dai Fukkatsu Black Label announced for arcade (SH3) - http://www.cave.co.jp/gameonline/daifukkatu/

Would be amazing (amazing) if this ended up coming along with the much-speculated 360 port.

It's pretty much guaranteed to be DLC methinks.

[bcass]

Yeah, there's no way they'll bundle it. I think Cave's current retail/DLC release cycles will remain the same for the foreseeable future.

Espgaluda II now up for pre-order on Play-Asia...

A whopping $73 though

Still popped my pre-order in as I'm dying for this one...loved it when I played it at Insert Coin '09 & the original is still my best PS2 shooter ever.

Do VGI usually get their pre-orders going plenty in advance? I'm thinking it's about time I started using them. Play-Asia are going further and further down in my estimation.

From what I read in the Mushi thread they were earlier than most got their P-A copies.

I'm sticking with P-A it might take a little while to get here but I still find Lee's prices too steep to make it worth the while (currently that $73 is about ?49 delivered cheapy post & I've never been stung with Customs yet)

hopefully the region coding of espgaluda is not set in stone....listed as ntsc j at the mo.

[Geezer]

I'm going to go with VGI this time, the price shouldn't be much more than PA with UPS.
I'm really looking forward to this, it's such an incredibly great game. NCSX have started taking orders too by the way.

Also, we are less than two weeks away from another Cave festival, hopefully another port will be announced

According to Asada's last blog post, Cave is working on 5 new titles. This does not include ES2BL or DFKBL. (he doesn't specify much details, but all together they total 5):

1)A completely new arcade game ("completely" implies it's not a sequel to anything)
2)Original Xbox 360 game
3)Xbox 360 arcade port(s)
4)Development on "new hardware"

At the Cave festival on 12/27, he'll be able to talk about it.
