Announcement of Dodonpachi Saidaioujou (?)

EOJ · « **Reply #1 on:** December 21, 2011, 03:34:39 PM »

Saidai Oujou means "The Greatest Happy Death." I'd be surprised if it's an Arcade title. I wonder if it's related to the thing Asada, Mon, and Mihara have been talking about (all the PS2 Daioujou vids getting pulled down on sites).

Monouchi · « **Reply #2 on:** December 21, 2011, 11:36:21 PM »

And the PSVita game is said to be "original", right?

EOJ · « **Reply #3 on:** December 22, 2011, 12:50:33 AM »

Yes, but "original" basically just means a new game. It doesn't exclude being a sequel to some other game.

I doubt this game, whatever it is, is for the Vita. But, we'll see!

XBLA game? Only 200 achievement points listed there, so it can't be a retail release. Not sure if this "DDP Maximum" is the same as "Saidai Oujou" either.

Another Ketsui-Pachi crossover? Defensive Line and Cinderella Amber are names from Ketsui.

Like moozooh said, based on the achievement names, this must have something to do with Daifukkatsu and Ketsui.

2008 Tokyo - Opening level of DFK
Defensive Line - Ketsui Stage 4 BGM
Dividing Road of Fate - DFK Stage 2 BGM

The stage clear achievements are interesting, though. While AI is definitely the first stage boss, Cinderella Amber is the Ketsui 4th Stage Boss.

Maybe a crossover like the Muchi Pork Matsuri, where you also fight Ketsui bosses. That's my speculation...

Sounds like this is one of those 4 games Asada said he was working on. Kind of have mixed thoughts about them making original 360 shooters now that I've had the chance to play them in the arcade.

Nope, it's their game for Windows Phone 7...

EOJ · « **Reply #9 on:** January 11, 2012, 05:49:26 PM »

Yep, I've read this is a W7 game too. Oh well.

bcass · « **Reply #10 on:** January 11, 2012, 06:09:24 PM »

If it is WP7 then a 360 version could be likely as all WP7 dev is done using C#/XNA which runs on the 360 with very little effort. XNA is usually used for XBox Live Indie Games but there are a handful of XNA titles that have been released on XBLA. I've often thought that the XNA library was good enough to allow Cave-quality shmups to be developed using it. I guess this finally proves it.

Website for the game is up, but there's not much there: http://www.cave.co.jp/gameonline/maximum/jp/

It says that it's exclusive to Windows Phone 7, so why the Xbox Live logo at the bottom?

EDIT: Also, DOJ for iPhone/iPod Touch? http://www.cave-world.com/jp/games/dodonpachi-daioujou.html

bcass · « **Reply #12 on:** January 19, 2012, 11:15:25 PM »

The Xbox Live logo is there because WP7 uses Xbox Live. You use your Live/Xbox Live gamertag to log into it.

ssfsx17 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 20, 2012, 12:15:25 AM »

The twitter profile for @cave_world_en (the English twitter feed) has had its background changed to "DODONPACHI BLISSFUL DEATH" so that pretty much confirms it.

Of course they've also used Akai Katana backgrounds long before that was confirmed, so who knows...

According to Facebook, Dodonpachi MAXIMUM is coming out for windows phone 7, and Dodonpachi DOJ ("Blissful Death") is the next iPhone game.

EOJ · « **Reply #16 on:** January 20, 2012, 05:48:38 AM »

DOJ for the iOS should be really interesting to see. It will be Cave's first port of the game, unless they just use Arika's code (like everyone else seems to do!). I wonder if BL will be in there, or another new arrange mode. Maybe Ketsui will be next?

Ketsui anything would be great. I would buy Ketsui breakfast cereal.

...And another new teaser just released on Twitter: http://www.cave.co.jp/gameonline/saidaioujou/

I'm still holding out on another 360 port of something or new arcade title. $:-\$

Sounds like another smartphone game.

http://ameblo.jp/cave-cs-stg-dev/

Same designer for this and ddp maximum (Kimura). He says he'll announce details soon.

TimingTripod40 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 23, 2012, 06:30:32 AM »

That's a lot of DDP. WP7 DOJ port I'm guessing.

SuperPang · « **Reply #25 on:** January 29, 2012, 05:42:23 AM »

Small update coming in the next 24hrs by the looks of it. I can't see this being a smartphone game because a) there are two DDPs already in development and b) the name is in Japanese, meaning it's probably not a global release.

Unless it's the Android port of DOJ and they've given up on the west.

Happy to see it's a vert! The "Dress System" sounds a bit scary, though.

<Sapz> Further bet, this system is just like picking Bomb or Power or Shotia or Exy or whatever

<moozooh> my bet is that milking will include gradually undressing girl bosses
<moozooh> and chip damage to naked parts
