This will be playable on 2/27 at a free Microsoft-sponsored "Shooting Festa" in Akihabara

I have some questions regarding the above:

1)  Where exactly?
2)  What times?
3)  Is there an entrance fee?
4)  Is taking video footage allowed?
5)  Who's going here?

In help would be mint.

Cheers.

Do i need to get a japanese xbox360?

or will this just get released in the US right after i get one?

[Joe T.]

Yeah, they're waiting on the day your new Japanese Xbox arrives to announce a localization so hurry up and buy one.

[JAPJAC]

Ketsui X360 is featured in the latest X360 Famitsu magazine:



I couldn't understand any of it unfortunately.  Sorry.

Good luck for tomorrow everyone!  Fingers crossed.   

Cheers.

[bcass]

Why don't you post a decent sized pic, then someone here could maybe translate/give a brief summary?

[Plasmo]

Thanks you so much for that scan JAPJAC, we couldn't have lived without it, you're the hero of the day!!!!!
We're not worthy!

(sry, I had to)

[MX7]

I couldn't understand any of it unfortunately.  Sorry.

Don't you live in Japan? Or lived in Japan for a significant period of time?

[Jockel]

I can`t read the Chinese symbols but there might be some new information of interest to those that can.

That should answer your question.

[dcharlie]

Looks like i might be there after all , it's 1:11am and i'm ahead of schedule. :rock

Answer = simple.

[adverse]

Looks like andriasang.com is doing a live blog of the shooting festa.

[JAPJAC]

Why would my post provoke any negative comments?  

I just wanted to talk about Ketsui and give a simple update.

I give up.

[bcass]

Why did you post such a small picture of the article?  It would actually have been in *your* best interest had you posted something readable, given that you can't read Japanese.  Several people here *can* read Japanese.

[dcharlie]

worth following all round awesome guy andriasang  on twitter, he's covering the event live and he's usually pretty awesome.

Plus well known on the gaming circuit and fluent japanese, so he may get some extra interviews/extra details

event has just opened, he's picture logging it too.

looks like a decent crowd!

better link, forgot about his flash report site : http://www.andriasang.com/e/features/x360_shooting_festa_2010/mobile/

[dcharlie]

what the helll....

5pb are apparently working on another shooter.... i am guessing this isn't Mini Xevious.

I assumed they were done for shooter conversions after the Ketsui farce.

[EOJ]

It was posted here awhile back that they were going to announce more shooters at the festival.

BEST BOX ART EVER.

[dcharlie]

Wow - that really is the king of fantastic box art.

I really wish that we didn't have to have that X360 thing at the top. Next gen , how about stylish no logo box arts on the reverse of these sort of inlays?

[SuperPang]

Heh, they obviously listened to the hate for the awful BLEX artwork and slapped the 2003 poster on there instead

[adverse]

That box art is indeed quite stunting.

[HVL]

That's nice but the "EXTRA" text it pretty bad. I think I still like the BLEX cover more.

[adverse]

There is a description of the Ketsui Arrange mode in the latest Famitsu 360, which has an outrageously horrible cover this month.

X-Mode

・Aimed at all levels of players
・Slow suicide bullets generate after destroying enemies, these can be destroyed with the lock shot.
・Some enemies now glow red and when destroyed, cancel all bullets on the screen.
・Depending on how you destroy them, the Multiplier Chips will change.
・By adjusting your timing, you can get through the game easy or you can fill the screen with chips.
・If you fill the screen with chips enough, you enter a "Fever Mode" in which all suicide bullets→chips.

Awesome.

Does anyone have access to someone who went to the Festa and tried this out? Are there any comments as to the accuracy of the port?
