Changed my vote to Dariusburst. Saw that cab in Vegas one time so epic in size.

Would love to have contributed to this month but it’s hard to post a score when you lose all your lives.

Yeah I was thinking the same when looking for games to suggest. That and the available versions seem accessible enough.

I’ve only really played this on the oversized arcade cab, and even then i was enamoured by the cab’s novelty more than the gameplay itself. would be fun to learn this one.

All those except Hydorah are on the TTX3 multi? Interesting.

Oh i didn't know that. I still gotta set-up my multi.

But Dariusburst is native to TTX2. Caladrius was originally on RingEdge 2. I don't know about Rolling Gunner, I thought that was only a console release.
GG Aleste is just a rom release, so emulation on TTX3 makes sense.

I’ll have mine hooked up at the meet-here’s hoping we get a big batch of scores put up!

I still need to "upgrade" to a X3...

Voted. No strong preference.

so is Darius playable on TTX2?

Rolling Gunner is APM3. I was wrong about GG Aleste 3 being on TTX3, it's APM3's Senjin Aleste that's on there. And I should clarify it's the latest rev of the TTX3 multi that has the APM3 games included.

Yeah I assume so.
According to system16 it was released on that hardware: https://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=903&page=1#19049

Gotta go GG Aleste 3. It's an actual masterpiece of a game.

 

[mmsadda]

Would love to play something we never have before. Here's hoping for Caladrius or Darius Burst!

 

[mmsadda]

It's on the TTX3 multi!

 

[opt2not]

I think it might be time to get off my ass and test/set-up my TTX3 multi.

It definitely is! Mine probably gets more playtime than any other arcade hardware I've got set up... It's just so versatile.

 

[wataru330]

I needed to change my vote to Darius.

 

[NERDtendo]

My PS4 died in my Gaming Club so I can’t get to my DariusBurst game. I vote for Caladrius since I have that on the RE2. Like many others here I still need to get my hands on a TTX3 multi. There were a few times where someone put together a bunch of them and made like a group sale post I wish I had gotten in on.

 

[opt2not]

5 more days! looks like GG Aleste and Dariusburst CS are running neck-and-neck.
I could play either. GG Aleste is fantastic and runs on emulators as well as real hardware. I haven't dived much into Dariusburst CS, but would love to dedicate some time to it. I'll likely play the Vita version on my PSTV.

Get them votes in!

En route…

 

[opt2not]

Last chance to get your vote in!

Btw, I’m not planning on splitting the game choice to two games. If we end up in a tie, I’m making the executive decision and choosing one, as host’s privilege

 

[opt2not]

Thanks all, Dariusburst: Chronicle Saviors it is! Good to have a slightly newer title mixed into our SOTM.

I’ll put up an official post shortly. In the meantime, get this game ready on your platform of choice: PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Microsoft Windows, Switch

For Switch, is this "Dariusburst EX+ Another Chronicle"?

I believe that release has multiple modes that includes the Original Mode Chronicle Saviors.
It’s on sale on the Nintendo shop right now for $11.99. I’ll grab it and confirm.

Doing some searching and found there’s also DARIUSBURST CS CORE + TAITO/SEGA Pack which I think is CS with all the DLC ships included:
