Cave titles confirmed for 360

[Dazzyman]

Na never going to happen (wouldnt want two RIVs anyway ). Im glad its got emulated slowdown but stuff like patterns altering dont bother me. Its happened on other shmups when they get ported. Didnt RFA have some serious game breaking bugs when that was released?

I just hope its kept the arranged music from the PS2 port on level 2 as thats my favourite shmup music of all time.

IM actually more exited about this than SFIV (says a huuuuuuge amoutn that lol) as Ive counted days since getting the JPN 360. A TE stick just for shmups and DDPDJ in the same week mmmmmmm beeer

Edit from Shmups it sounds more like the game is loading into memory on boot thats why it takes up to 2mins. Once loaded its very quick ie seamless between stages and restarts so good news. Heard its also got 3 soundtracks to choose from and the uusual play awhile to get continues so cant cc when you first get it (again non issue for me as never use more than 1 cc on vertical shmups). So worry over

To be fair I'd never notice altered bullte patterns to be honest as I've never had the privilidge of playing the Arcade Original.

Cant wait to get this...I'm almost as excited by this as SFIV
I think if Death Smiles or Ketsui were due this week then SFIV would have been eclipsed in the excitement stakes.

Roll on April!!!

I'll be counting the days until EMS gets my copy of DDP here! I've finally gotten a Hori stick for the 360 and it makes a HUGE difference when playing shooters.

Which stick did you get??
It does make a huge difference doesnt it??

Just waiting for the last of my parts now so I can get the Ex2 modded...more for SFIV than the shooters but hopefully it will help my crappy skills in the shooters as well

[CMcK]

It's a Hori Soul Calibur IV branded stick. Not exactly expensive but highlights the inadequacey of the standard 360 pad.

[Soundwave]

I agree 100% the 360 pad is an ambomination for anything requiring proper precise inputs.

Any stick is a huge improvement.

Anyone got DDP yet?

[Geezer]

Dazzyman has. I'm hoping mine shows up tomorrow or Tuesday.

Anyone got DDP yet?

Nope not yet

Not expecting it for a few more days to be honest...my Asian SFIV Collectors Edition only arrived this morning from Play-Asia after being posted on the 13th

So expected date based on that would be about Friday/Saturday (it was posted on the 17th)

Got mine this morning and it came with the nice Famitsu Xbox pre-order booklet (P-A).

[CMcK]

Same as Kron, it arrived this morning and came with the bonus booklet. I will post impressions later on.

Oh dear. Cheers for the link, saved me shelling out for sure, sounds grotty.

I'll stick to the PS2 one i think.

[Super Monkey Balls]

I'll stick to the PS2 one i think.

I would. Arikas port is pretty much arcade perfect, 240p, has all the options and extras you need. The differences with black label are very subtle anyway and that EX mode doesn't sound worth the 6 hours unlock!

If anyone doesn't get on with it I'll trade my Raiden IV with a fiver in a box, I'm still curious

Offer retracted btw

Holy bejeezus. Makes you realise how lucky we were with Arika, and that Death Smiles is being done internally... fingers crossed they get their act together for Ketsui.
