They make it look like it's going to be the regular game... which would be pretty ridiculous playing on such a small screen.

edit: deleted my off-topic rambling

.....................what

it says 2007 so I guess this site has been up for a while (?) but what the hell is it?

It's just a simple, meaningless English site. Lots of Japanese companies put one up, even small ones like Gulti. Doesn't mean much, they just put it up because they think it's expected in the 'global' world. Once they put it up they forget about it and move on.

Errr...come on, iPhone games...

How about showing us that Cat-girl game instead.

Same here. I'm blaming my work computer/IE.

ookitarepanda · March 04, 2010, 12:21:06 PM

Takes a little while to load.

What the hell. I mean, I'm going to buy it, but dammit Cave.

It will be great on the IPAD

brokenhalo · March 04, 2010, 08:05:52 PM

judging by the trailer it indeed looks like a port with simplified bullet patterns. i'll be all over this if that's the case.

GaijinPunch · March 05, 2010, 05:22:49 AM

I played ESPGaluda II DX one time when I was bored as fuck ... and it still sucked.

DJ Incompetent · March 23, 2010, 10:16:19 AM

I have a pittance to contribute. .....a pittance.

Probably doesn't mean anything new as you got the teaser site already. I like that they sound serious that this is gonna be downloadable from anywhere.

GaijinPunch · March 23, 2010, 10:44:21 AM

In my experience there's very few software packages that are not downloadable everywhere. Kindle was one... I wanted to try it out, too.

DJ Incompetent · March 23, 2010, 11:20:58 AM

Yeah. Figured it'd be so recent that that kinda digital mentality is still iffy.

It was like three or four years ago I thought it was lucky we got a chance to play Gradius Neo outside Japan. I don't think Cave's DonPachi mobile version ever left Japan region. Not sure.

Buuuut, the other question is has Cave ever had a dedicated official English news channel? That Eng twitter feed announcement was pretty delightful, even though it probably won't amount to very much.

NR777 · March 23, 2010, 11:47:08 AM

Cave putting together an English news feed is actually very exciting. It shows that they're taking their stated "international approach" somewhat seriously. I will admit that this post is sprinkled liberally with wishful thinking.

It looks pretty good.

Jockel · March 31, 2010, 09:02:22 AM

What happened to mushi gaiden bug panic btw?

dmauro · March 31, 2010, 09:13:47 AM

I guess I should be excited for the opportunity to play Galuda II on the go, but I know it's going to control like shit. Someone should make a dpad for the iPhone/iPod that plugs into the bottom.

NR777 · March 31, 2010, 11:37:35 AM

Promo vid on cave-world is now in english. Same video EOJ found on nico.

joeboto · March 31, 2010, 12:04:42 PM

wow.. the screen looks so smooth. lets see if there any 'osd disappearing' skills through iphone.

I think it's called iControlPad.

dmauro · March 31, 2010, 10:45:20 PM

We need something official so developers will support it, but that is interesting.

NR777 · April 01, 2010, 04:24:38 AM

Tipped kotaku on this earlier today and they ran the article...siliconera also just covered it. It may not be a "proper" introduction but at the very least it will allow western audiences to sample one of Cave's better games on the cheap. It will also shut fucking touhou fanboys the hell up. I am so sick of hearing touhou fans spew shit like "touhou is soooo much harder" when it is obvious they've never played a Cave game. Imperishable Night is a stupidly easy 1cc. ESOD and PCB are slightly harder...but I still didn't feel like I had to really work for them.

That's incredible! The ipod is so crap for games standard with just the touch screen, such a good idea that iControlPad.

Out Saturday?! Jesus.

Also, under "compatible devices" it says it's only compatible with the 3GS and the new iPod touch... Does that mean I can't fucking play it?

That's really annoying... It's probably ok though as I've yet to play a shmup that I like on the phone.

Have fun come saturday $:-\$

You might have an inkling of the next game...

EOJ · April 05, 2010, 05:16:10 PM

Not a surprise.

ookitarepanda · April 07, 2010, 12:51:07 PM

Cave's response on Twitter about only allowing GaludaII for 3GS iphones:

"@ookitarepanda @SilentHitoshura @BenParfitt Sorry to disappoint 3G users, but a shooter like ESGPGALUDA II require lots of memory.... Perhaps it's a good opportunity to pick up the new version of the iPhone this summer!"
