Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu comes out tomorrow anyone picking up?

[D.D.D.]

I have been cracking out on 1.51 version. Keep getting to Stage 5 on 1 cred. And the whole time I thought the Ipad version was easy or am I just that good at shmups?

Anyone else find this game easier then the other Dodonpachi's?

If it's easier than DaiOuJou, it's likely easy.

My copy came in the mail recently, and I have greatly enjoyed it. Definitely a worthy sequel, and a fun game. I also heard there was another one announced almost right away, a Black Label. Is that going to be DLC, or a separate release altogether? Anyway, I used the coupon code to pre-order the Muchi-Pork next Cave Shooter. I also pre-ordered a new Dreamcast Shooter called Fast Striker, looked interesting.

What else is on the Horizon for us Shooter fans? I enjoy collecting these gems as much as playing them.

Just got my copy of Daifukkatsu today, only had a quick go, but it seems awesome, if a little easier in the beginning stages than previous DDP games.

I also heard there was another one announced almost right away, a Black Label. Is that going to be DLC, or a separate release altogether?

It's going to be both and both will be available on February 3rd - the DLC version costs 1200 MS points, while the retail version will cost ¥5,040. It sounds like it'll be worth getting the retail version though, as it adds an Arranged mode that uses the ships and scoring system from Ketsui!

Well, other than the MMP/Pink Sweets double pack, and the retail version of the Daifukkatsu Black Label, there's Bullet Soul (a shooter from 5pb with art by the guy behind popular manga/anime Bakemonogatari) and Eschatos (vertical shooter from Qute). I don't know of any other retail releases, but there's a fair number of XBLA games for shmup fans next year;

Bangai O HD
Dangun Feveron
Otomedius Excellent
Radiant Silvergun
Seisou Kouki Strania (G-Rev's new shooter)
Trouble Witches AC

What's up with 1.51? The scoring is all weird.

Good news: the MMP/PS disc is going to be region free.

I've got no idea - 1.51 is crazy, I definitely haven't got the hang of it. I've mostly been playing Arrange B which is a ton of fun and has a great scoring system.

Good news: the MMP/PS disc is going to be region free.

Yeah, there's already a topic about it round here somewhere - good news for non-JP 360 owners. Also, both the standard and Limited Editions will be region free - the LE includes soundtracks for both games and a download code for the Cave Festival edition of MMP (which is MMP, but with Pink Sweets bosses).
