Where the fuck am I supposed to get one of those?

Where the fuck am I supposed to get one of those?

[MX7]

I keep getting excited when this thread is bumped, but then there's no news...   

This is the only game I care about on the horizon right now. DFK coming out in a couple of months is cool, but it's hard to care when Muchi-Muchi Pork! is coming a few months after that!

I'll just get back to wistfully watching videos and reminiscing about the scant time I've played on either of these games...

This is the only game I care about on the horizon right now.

It's on the DOJBL Patch schedule.

[EOJ]

Release is planned for February 2011, according to Asada at the today's Cave HQ meeting.

Didn't expect the release date to be that early in the year. I just hope the ports aren't rushed.

[EOJ]

It shouldn't take them long, as they aren't doing HD visual upgrades for these. Seems the game was already playable at the Cave meeting.

Great news. Than for the update EOJ. Hopefully the release won't slip

[Dale]

I've come really to like the HD re-draws but if they drop it correct with some scanlines I'll be happy. Any word about those?

I'm lucky enough to have tried MMP and I loved it, pure fun. I wasn't crazy about Pink Sweets but its still cool.

wow, much sooner than anticpated.

So hopefully we can have Ibara Kuro by late spring and Akai Katana by early fall

Don't get my hopes up :-)

New info from SIN, straight from Cave:

-MMP "Matsuri Ver" (the one with Pink Sweets bosses) will be downloadable via a DLC card that will ship with the first print of the game.
-Pink Sweets "infinite lives" trick will be "fixed", according to Asada. He says both MMP and PS are "hard to play in their original form", so they are including modes that are tweaked. Whether this means the trick is "fixed" in the original Arcade mode or not is not really clear. Hopefully Arcade mode will have it intact, and a 360 mode will have it fixed (similar to Espgaluda 2's port).
-Due to consumer request, rank will be displayable in Pink Sweets as you play, similar to Espgaluda 2 BL's on-screen stat display.

Sounds good! I'll most likely skip on the Matsuri version, will rather wait for the inevitable price drop. :)

He says both MMP and PS are "hard to play in their original form", so they are including modes that are tweaked.

I wonder if this means that they're getting rid of the ridiculous loop requirement for MMP. Probably my only complaint with that game and something that I think crippled it's popularity in the arcades.

Maybe we will get an option to turn it on and off, like the endless bomb option in the Ketsui port.

If they remove infinite lives, the game would be much harder to ALL, so I don't see how they are going to fix the rank difficulty, unless he means including a beginner mode.  I hope they leave the original mode alone, otherwise that would be a big disappointment.

MMP and PS arrange modes look amazing. 

[GaijinPunch]

Yeah, they look really fun.  I'm not so sure about the no high res though.  I've never played Arcade mode of any of the others b/c I think it looks so bad.

[HVL]

Dang, so there will be a LE of Muchi Pink after all. Can't resist them.

[njiska]

Another cave game, another expensive LE. Oh how i wish I had been collecting them from the start. Going to cost  a fortune to got back and get DS, MF1.5 and EspII LEs.

Do we know if the OSTs will be separate like with Ketsui or just a joint on one disc? Arrange modes could be fun.

there's something about a DLC for these games as well. What does it say?

[markedkiller78]

I'm not a fan of LE games (I never use any of the extras) but the PS soundtrack would be worth 2k on it's own.

Feb will be a good month. hopefully a PS mode I can play (beyond L4)

It says what I posted a bit earlier in this thread, that the first print DLC card will unlock the MMP Matsuri version.

I blame all the awesome news posted today.

Nice pic in your signature!

Yeah...  I was let down also by this. I really wanted to see MMP in HD. Still I'm a sucked and will shell out for all the extras. I have played around with 360 deathsmiles, forced it into low res (with a extron) and put it on my PVM RGB monitor. Looked good but never bothered doing it anymore thanks to those hi res modes.

[EOJ]

Just to clear up the usual misconceptions floating around on the web: both the SE (first print) and LE will come with DLC card.

[HVL]

Most likely two discs. The site said it has more than 30 tracks. Too drunk to check for now.

[EOJ]

It's a 2 disc soundtrack set (one for MMP, one for PS), according to the official website:
