Someone tested the input lag:

https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?p=1569649#p1569649

They found it is 5.75 frames, compared to 4.75 on the X360. So, as expected (unfortunately). I don't think I'll buy this, as I don't want to support Livewire's lazy, sub-par "cash grab" ports anymore. I really regretted buying the Espgaluda 2 Switch port (it has 4 frames of lag compared to the X360's 3 frames).

Livewire's Mushi and DFK ports have 3 frames of lag, but that is because they are ported from the Steam versions that have 2 frames.

This is available on the USA eshop now, for $35:

According to the listing the game is only in Japanese, so they didn't even bother to translate the text this time.  :displeased:

I'll wait to hear some impressions on the lag and slowdown accuracy before I spend the cash. And/or I'll just wait for a sale.

Poor choice of words on my behalf it should have read "ported to a current system" instead.

Appreciate it is unlikely to add anything beyond the 360 port in gameplay and modes.

Quote from: Codiene on December 04, 2024, 03:34:44 PMglad it is at least getting an updated port.

I doubt anything will be updated (the previous livewire ports certainly didn't update anything). It will probably have an extra frame of lag and no online leaderboards, which will make it a downgraded port.

I literally just got the chance to get the 360 limited box set about 2 hrs before this was announced today how's that for timing!

Agreed it would have been good if City connection had the licence (or better still M2  :cool: ) but glad it is at least getting an updated port. I really hope they do a LiveWire deluxe physical release it will be an instant purchase if they do.

Maybe there is some hope for the remaining CV1000 ports.

Well, it's a great game and I'm glad it's finally getting another port to something.

However, I was really hoping City Connection would do this since their Akai Katana port is better than the X360 one, and they release on both Switch and PS4 (+ physical). Livewire stuff so far has been inferior to the X360 originals, and I expect the same for this one, unfortunately. Plus it will be delisted from the eshop in 3 years (since apparently that is how long their license lasts for these ports).  :displeased:

I know @itsbobfellas posted already but started this as a dedicated topic so it's not in the other live wire thread for previous ports.

19 December 2024 Nintendo eShop Japan only at the moment by the looks of things.

I finished Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (PS5). Took me 30 hours. My party was Hero, Warrior (> Martial Artist), Mage (> Sage), Priest (Up to Lv 38) (> Thief (up to Lv20) > Warrior). I think it was a good, fun remake overall. I'd give it 8/10.
