New Cave Shooter - Akai Katana

[cools]

I liked the name, couldn't think of anything else at the time of joining, and was watching a lot of replays of PinkSweets at the time. Therefore, PinkSweets was used.

By the looks of it, I think it would be my favorite Yagawa game. Possibly the only one I would really enjoy playing. Fantastic music, level design, characters, and gameplay...Judging from what I've seen.

It's incredibly good BUT extremely difficult. As in WTF difficult.

lol yagawa haters.

 

[ironish]

Time for a PS3 or PC release.

No matter what. I think its safe to say it will be a must buy lol.

Time for a PS3 or PC release.

I don't think we'll ever see a Cave game on PS3 due to Sony's guidelines. They don't like things that aren't super high res and 3D.

F***in Sony....

Guwange meets Progear?! Trailer is lacking in-game shots.

Shit, I hope so. I'll just patiently wait for real info from the loc test. That movie divulges absolutely nothing about the game.

Well, the result of the loketest should be out in two weeks. It's rather odd that they're keeping things under wraps this time around.

Looks pretty cool to me

Very happy they abandoned the DSII hardware and went back to low res.
I'm excited for this now.

Looks like a more one great game from Cave. The worst thing is that shmup for arcades do not come to my country. The hope is that one day, this game to be release to Xbox 360.

They don't really come to anyone's country that isn't Asian, except for private collectors/gamers.

Don't forget to add $80 or so for insured EMS and 4% to cover the Paypal fees.

Can't wait for loke test videos. This looks to be pretty sick!

 

[TonK]

I'll go half with anyone who wants to preorder it.

Whoever likes it best can pay it off.

No way in hell I'm paying full price on release.
