Good thing 5pb or taito didn't get their hands on it

Taito has never ported a game either.

so cave was responsible for their own terrible ibara port... I owe taito an apology then

[GaijinPunch]

Fo shizzle.

Looks like CAVE is handing this off to M2 due to being too busy with the DS update.

[EOJ]

Who is M2?

[adverse]

They're a port company, not sure what else they've done but Mihara was bigging them up on his blog a couple weeks ago.  He said something like in the past you'd go to Arika for ports, but M2 is the best at the moment.

[EOJ]

Thanks for the info. Do you know any other shooters that they've ported?

[adverse]

Otomedius lol

Some more info here:

Oh, they did a lot of the great Sega Ages ports for the PS2! Fantasy Zone, Monster World, and so on. Maybe if they're doing it, we'll get scanlines for the MF1.5 port?

And whether you like Otomedius or not, the port is pretty spot on.

According to the latest official blog post, they will announce the release date and details about the port in August.

[PROMETHEUS]

That conversion looks great !

So Mihara/Arika is making this Futari 360 port, not 5bp or Cave?

It's being done by the people who did Otomedius.

[adverse]

Blog was updated today.

Looks like the Futari premium theme has been finished and that Asadasan is going to get around to submitting it to MS soon. 

The limited edition of the MF360 release will apparently have a DLC card with it.  Doesn't say what it will download.  Apparently with DS, they shipped 15k of the LE, but they won't be able to do as many this time around for cost reasons?

M2 did Otomedius?

[EOJ]

Yeah, they did the port.

[GaijinPunch]

Yeah, they did the port.

That news didn't make it to the rock I live under.

According to today's official Cave blog post, Ikeda will start working on the Futari Arrange mode in a couple weeks.

[KOMA]

That's a great news!

Just posted on the CAVE Blog.

Lookin good. 

Now just get Ikeda on the slowdown...

[hermosaguy]

So damn pretty!  Oh, and the high res stuff looks good too.

[Megalixir]

I might have to get a rotatable LCD if this turns out to be good.

[StarCreator]

The old font choices look better to me... I guess they lost the typefaces or something? =p

[GaijinPunch]

The old ones might not scale as well.  I agree though, I like the old ones better.

news for date coming out?

[HVL]

Over at shmups some people watched the live stream stuff (I was sleeping ) and according to them, release date will be 2009-11-26.

Any news about the limited edition stuff?

I don't really fancy those arrangement discs but since it's a double album with both Mushis arranged, I think it's well worth the +2500 yen. That is, if it's easily obtainable.

[EOJ]

Big news: according to the official cave blog (8/15 entry), both the regular and LEs will come with a download card giving you Futari ver 1.01 for free. That's the slightly tweaked version of ver 1.0 only shown at a Cave matsuri a few years back. Unbelievable.

No Futari Black Label though. Good thing I still have my kit.
