After the pathetic port of DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou Black Label EXTRA, developing house 5pb will take another whack at Cave’s bullet hell niche with Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi Extra. While I am sceptical at best, I decided to take a leap of faith and reserve my copy this morning. (Gotta justify my [...]

So my limited edition of Espgaluda 2 finally arrived today and boy is this box stupid big. The limited edition comes with the limited edition faceplate (duh) and a soundtrack which can also be found inside the first run standard editions as well. I’ll probably keep my limited edition seal for now as [...]

After going on and on about how there is no chance in hell Cave is going to make Espgaluda II region free this close to the game’s release, I was mostly proven wrong. A quick blurb over at Kotaku shows a quote from Cave producer Makoto Asada that states which version is actually region free.
“The [...]

Bad news for you Cave fans out there with an American Xbox 360, it looks like Espgaluda 2 will NOT be region free, based on this post over at Neo-Geo.com.
A part of me is happy that it is not region free since it adds more value to my recent purchase of an imported Japanese Xbox [...]

For those who picked up the region free Mushihime-sama Futari 1.5, would be happy to hear that the Black label DLC is now live and active.  The black label DLC will cost 1,200 MSP space bucks.  What I’m not sure, as of this moment, is if the DLC will be available for purchase though a [...]

I’ve been on a Cave Shmup high and this news is just feeding that obsession. Espgaluda II will be sure to be another high quality over the top bullet hell exclusive for the Xbox 360. As with the previous Cave shmups, there will be initially two versions of the Espgaluda II for purchase.
The first [...]

Thank the maker! My copy of Mushihime-sama Futari ver. 1.5 is finally in my hands. After preordering this game back in October, I decided at the 11th hour to upgrade my order to the Limited Edition for an extra $50. Huge props to Japan Video Games for accommodating to my whims and [...]

I imported a Japanese xbox 360 just so I can play one game that ends in about 25 minutes. Is that insanity?  Probably but oh man it was worth it.
Too bad I was already able to beat it.
Even though I was able to breeze through the game on easy, I know I will have countless [...]

So as a test, Cave is going to release Mushihime-sama Futari 1.5 as a region free Xbox 360 title. So it’s time to put your money where your mouth is and preorder this freaking game now! Cave is going to base the sales of this title to see if they should localize Espgaluda [...]
