Yeah my prediction is they will sell a different Matsuri PCB version of the other games on future festivals and also that I won't be able to afford any of them.
It concerns my wallet that they've gone back to their first SH-3 title too. Ibara v1.5 next?

ESPGALUDA II Black Label?

I can't see them doing this for games that already got 1.5s and black labels.

So was this Matsuri Version available to play at the previous festivals? If so were there any other special versions of SH-3 games?

From what people are saying, it's different from the original Matsuri version because it has a Maniac mode. There are other Matsuri versions, you can see them listed:

I don't think the "start with MAX power" thing was in the Matsuri ver either. This seems pretty different.

Thanks for the link Ketsui Blue Version sounds interesting. According to Google there is an impression here but the site appears to be down atm.

Wow, that Ketsui Blue Version sounds awesome. One loop, changed ship mechanics and more bullets.

How is it I knever knew about this.

Kewing · May 22, 2011, 05:31:01 PM

Wow, that's unexpected... Actually not that much, considering how they had tried the waters recently what with AK LTD and the like. Really profitable with direct distribution and such a high price.
Still it's nice to see new a version, and hopefully fixes what broken of a game it was. The only problem is that I also think that the chances of this seeing a port are rather small. Higher than AK LTD, but still quite small.

Strider77 · May 22, 2011, 06:41:10 PM

Such bitter sweat news...... Ugh I want it so bad but I just can't afford that. Not unless I sell My OG kit and my DFK kit. Now my gears are turning.

God I hope they do a retail disc for this. I really want this as a retail release with a report of mushi 1 and then this added along with an HD overhaul and options to customize the soundtracks like the DFK port. Anything else added would be a perk... I could live without the HD over hall but would prefer it.

It wasn't -- you started w/ the 4 options [EDIT: 2? I'm getting old]. I actually wrote a good paragraph or so on the topic if someone wants to go dig it up at shmups. Maybe linked from oxtsu's list? I might have it on gamengai, somewhere. Sven666 has video of Ultra mode. I do too.... somewhere. Probably buried in porn by now.

Sorry -- I have issues at times. Not sure WTF is up w/ the site, honestly. I might just start cronning reboots.

I was able to load it -- has some video of Ketsui Blue.

EDIT:
Okay, found the Mushi 1.5 info here.

QuoteAlso featured was Mushihime-sama version 1.5. As far as anyone could tell, Original mode featured faster bullets, and Ultra mode featured slower but more bullets. There was no Maniac mode, unfortunately. Either mode started the player out with two rotating options, and the lasers, instead of the green-yellow found in the original version, were the red, blue, or dark green, depending on what shot type you currently were. Worth noting is that the slowdown in Ultra gets pretty out of hand, and Original mode drops a hell of a lot of frames..

Just one question (sorry if this already has been posted), haven?t hade the time to read through it all. If I understand it correct the game will ONLY be release to buy from the cave international store and there will be no problems to buy for us located in EU?

Well, the custom/tax will probably be high?

EOJ · May 23, 2011, 06:49:53 AM

It's just on the Japanese store for its initial offering (May 27-28). It will probably show up on the International store later on, like DFK BL and Akai Katana Limited Ver (both are still in stock in the International store today).

You can contact Celga to buy it for you. I'm sure they will, but you'll have to pay their fees and funky currency conversion.

Looks and sounds great!

I am so thinking about getting this game....

TonK · May 25, 2011, 01:51:42 AM

The whole set looks really cool.

I don't like Mushihimesama enough to even think about grabbing this though.

Shalashaska · May 25, 2011, 01:57:13 AM

Looks pretty cool. Can't say I like the new soundtrack thus far though.

eckart · May 25, 2011, 04:22:13 AM

Sounds solid to me. Good that they made a arranged soundtrack from the original and not a complete new one..
Wonder how stage 4 sounds.

- Maybe we will have a option to change to the old soundtrack as well in the menu.

You better hope if they do that they finally used the last 2 sound rom spaces. Otherwise it will be compressed down so much it will sound worse than a Deathsmiles board.

My God, after pretty much only playing the PS2 port, this looks like HD.

I wonder have they've captured the video.

cstarflare · May 25, 2011, 01:22:41 PM

Original with Max Power looks like it's taken some cues from Futari Black label.

I would really love to have this.

It's probably an RGB converter going to S-Video, S-Video into a PC capture card. Then have that output file centered in a video editing program to put the outer framing (blurred blowup and text) and then output that whole thing in HD/1080.

eckart · May 25, 2011, 03:16:47 PM

Ok that was a stupid idea. Why they should put that in an arranged game.

Notized that the nice big countertypo from version 1.0 is minimized.
Maybe a prozessor issue.

- Wonder if we now will have a auto-tapping-button.

Don't say that! I think I would buy any remixed ibara, providing it played like a Yagawa game.

Yet more games I'll likiley never get a chance to play.

GaijinPunch · May 26, 2011, 11:34:33 PM

I think I just earned half a business-class upgrade in miles.

NICE. Christmas seems to have come early for some people this year!

Anyone take the plunge? And if so, what is your address? >

Monouchi · May 31, 2011, 02:39:00 AM

The cave shop page is still there.
My japanese is not so good...but is it still available then to buy?

I hope its still there in a month, then I can prolly afford a copy.
