Cave titles confirmed for 360

[Super Monkey Balls]

Uh-oh.

I've decided this is a good thing. Every 240p native game I've seen on 360/XBLA looks like ass on a HDTV. It doesn't look like they've done much anyway.

Resolutions and display options will be really important here. If it supports non-interlaced and 3:4 you need to get your CRT out.

Well this is great news but i guess it brings up the usual concerns like will the discs be region free and if not will they ever get released here? It is exciting stuff though and if they get the display options right it should even be possible for it to look good on a yoko screen.

Just came back from work to find this out.. - I am astonished by the news..... 8O

[Atticus]

I just assumed they'd be XBLA releases. Hmmmm ...

However they materialise, I just hope they're versions I can play on my UK system.

[MikeRox]

Fantastic stuff. Does that say that the Daioijou port is the Black Label version?

I fear these will not be region free, so prove me wrong Cave.

s'only about 50p for a Japanese box anyway isn't it?

[^Katsu]

Excellent stuff now hurry up & release them!

[Baseley09]

These games arent already out on PS2?

[fuse]

Dai Ou Jou is, Ketsui hasn't been released on any home system though. It's not in MAME either.

[Soundwave]

Oh my god!!!!

Fantastic news

So So So glad I got my Japanese 360 in the beginning now cant wait for these

This is actually a port of the Black Label variant of Dai-oujou which hasn't been ported before. Minor differences though but nice that it gets a port.

Plan to get these even if they're not region-free as I'll no doubt have some means to play them in the future and to hopefully encourage further ports of the games that never made it to PS2 (and maybe better ports of some of the Taito-published Cave games that were quite shoddy compared to Arika's stuff).

More excellence headed towards Live! Top stuff

[Strider]

More excellence headed towards Live! Top stuff

has it been confirmed that they're live arcade then?

(and maybe better ports of some of the Taito-published Cave games that were quite shoddy compared to Arika's stuff).

I wouldn't be so sure these will be great ports. Nobodys heard of 5pb

[C']

Aye, fair point.

Arika's work on Dai-oujou/Espgaluda was really perfectionist stuff that maybe it's unfair to expect that level again. Hell, if they hadn't had been such a stickler for perfection, we'd already have a home Ketsui port.
