$700!!!!! TOO FUCKING MUCH!
DO A DREAMCAST VERSION OR A NEO GEO CD VERSION.

Recap said:I agree there. This is the system with the largest base of blind fanboys. Especially when it comes to shooting games. At least, this one seems to be good.
roker said:I think most DC fans agree that Border Down was the last great game to come out (others would say Ikaruga, but I beg to differ)
Trust me, most thought Trizeal and Chaos Field were absolute shit
they only bought it in hopes that it appreciates in value or encourages other companies to make a game
I don't think DC fans are THAT blind where they'll like ANYTHING that comes out for it
but at 50 bucks a game vs. 700
no one really minds taking a risk
Fighter17 said:In the shmups forums people did like Trizeal a lot, trust me. (Yes, I enjoy it a lot because it was not a manic shooter for once).

Howdoin said:I am currently talking to the devs to see if I can get a deal to release the game in the US (in my store ).
We are in very early talks and they have not agreed to anything yet - we just exchanged our names...
I don't know if it would reassure people but if it does, feel free to show some support

16-bit said:Do you think SNK would care less if it is an AES rather than an MVS release?
Also, what was SNK's position on Diggerman? Last Hope is not a take on any former SNK propertery (ex. Blazing Star II), so they might not care.

JMKurtz said:I know a couple homebrew developers that left the scene because SNK DID go after them and put their excellent homebrew talents on the Neo to a halt.
NG:DEV.TEAM said:The official Last Hope website is open now lasthope.ngdevteam.com.
On Saturday we will release a movie with original music and gameplay footage.
Business plans:
Yes, we have to consider our strategy and pricing new. I hope it's not too late to do that, as damage seems already to be done. We now consider the release in early 1Q 2006.
It would be nice if we could get feedback from NEO GEO/Shmup collectors. Who are the main target for *this* release (you can send a mail to info@ngdevteam.com).
I have read many recommendation now, you can bet we thought through this things too. But most of them don't work for several reasons.
I don't want to go here much into details:
We contacted SNKP, they didn't even bother to answer.
We contacted Shawn, he have had an early prototype in his hand and has beta tested it back in 2004. He definitely was impressed by the game and wanted to help us. But it never worked out.
Does someone in the forums have steadily contact with him? Its not easy to get him answer your mails. Maybe people should show him interest in this release.
We contacted Vektorlogic, Jeff wanted to send us his NDA, he never did.
We cannot pay Vektorlogic yet to develop AES pcbs and a new cartshell. Pcbs alone yes, but the cartshell costs are >20k. After this initial release we probably could think about it. Having both MVS and AES custom pcbs and shells would be a great benefit for the community (no need for sac carts anymore).
Carts:
Of course they are in very good/new condition.
Paperworks:
- Offset printed shock box size insert/if nessesary we can do a new style insert too.
- Offset printed CD-booklet manual with baggy.
- Digital printed and factory cutted sticker
We are definitly looking for trustworthy selling partners in the US.
And there will be of course a public review on onleast one NEO GEO related site/maybe on shmups.com too.

DevilRedeemed said:you know.. you could chill for 5 minutes and let things unravel by themselves? I think he's taken this 'demand' into consideration by now. you could always email him about it.
Recap said:It ALREADY IS a horrible game.
