I was chatting with someone who was there last night, pretty interesting stuff! My god they were so anal about getting the framerate perfect on the attract demo, this is going to be an insane port.
Oh and that current/high score board, rankgraph, special weapon item chart, BOSS TIMER AND HEALTH, remaster music... etc!
It's been said that this is just the beginning of an effort to hype the genre before an original release (likely developed by former cave employees). Support these fuckers or go to hell.
¥8,500?? Are you kidding me?
Uhhh, did you mean 'only', seems spot on to me. You think these guys do this in their free time for shits and giggles (to be honest that's probably half the reason they do it). How many worldwide pre-orders do you honestly expect them to get? The profit isn't even going to be much considering manufacturing and production costs of the CD, prints, pin, packaging, etc. If they make a profit from this it's going to be from the downloads. There is almost no merchandise for Garegga, I'm personally stoked to see them making the effort with the extras in the Premium Edition.
