Here's a video comparison of the PS4 and PCB versions (PS4 on left, PCB on right):

It is from a Japanese player who is quite good at the game. He was surprised by how the PS4 port is practically identical to the PCB (in slowdown, game speed, etc).

We need M2 to do the whole damn CAVE library to... PS4? Switch?

M2 made a post about the official English transliteration of the title.

The Ψ should be written as Psy, not Psi (it is short for Psychic). So, I have updated the main post with this correction.

It must be selling decently enough!

Does anyone play this with the Flipgrip? Figured this would be a perfect fit for it. Kinda bummed about the added input lag on the Switch version. Although I might have to go for that version since my only TV decided to crap out on me! @_@

New patch today, updating the game to Ver 1.02:

Lots of bug fixes. Of note, there is also a new, much stronger TLB in Arcade Plus mode. You have to get through the game with 2 or less lives lost to face it. If you beat it, you get 2x your end bonus. Here's a video of it:

This and the PS4 Ketsui port had another reprint recently, due to strong, steady sales. Great news!

See: https://twitter.com/hor11/status/1285754631033720833

In the comments Horii says "I now wish we made Ketsui for Switch too", which must indicate ESP.Ra.De Switch has been profitable.

BEEP are making a new run of the arcade boxes that came with the LE they sold:

https://www.beep-shop.com/blog/16812/

They say customers complained the original boxes were too small to hold the ESPrade PCB. So, this time the box will be the proper size. The new boxes will be free, and you don't have to return the original box. Japanese customers only.

They are accepting requests until April 30, 2021. The boxes will ship within a month after that.
