If you're going to get Blue Wish Resurrection, be sure to get the original(ver. 1.02) instead of the Plus/blue label version. It's a lot more balanced and better designed, and harder.

Plus the TLB music is better.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF----

Apparently, JAPJAC@shmups in Tokyo got his 7 days early, and he's shipping all pre-orders out today.

I wonder if NCSX will ship out early too. =<

*super-mega-jealous*

I don't see myself playing Futari until at least late-December.

Matsuri · « **Reply #753 on:** November 19, 2009, 04:50:52 AM »

I'm starting to wonder if NCSX will even have any in stock any time soon.

So much for pre-ordering it.

I've been playing around with the old Cave shooters for the past month or so, and I just wanted to say that this thread has been a great help in both getting MAME working and learning some tricks for DoDonPachi. I don't think I'll ever do better than 1-ALL, but I've grown to slightly appreciate a game I used to hate when I was more of a casual player.

Sure wish I could 1cc a Lunatic though. Been working on that one for nearly a year now.

Sapz · « **Reply #755 on:** November 19, 2009, 05:28:20 PM »

Finally managed to 1cc DoDonPachi's first loop, and with a life and three bombs left over. Two deaths on Stages 5 and 6. :V

Awesome! Now play some ESPRa.De. or Guhwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang

Also, evil_ash_xero@shmups called NCSX, he said that they should have a MushiFutari stock by Friday the 27th or the Monday after. Hopefully we'll get it by early December? =<

Lishy1 · « **Reply #758 on:** November 19, 2009, 11:24:58 PM »

I just pre-ordered mushi limited edition from NSCX
Hopefully it will ship safely when it does.

I'm a collector of cds, so I'm happy the ost comes with the game.

Early December is probably a good bet. Touhou 12 and 12.3 just arrived today and it took about 3.5 days for them to get here after I got notification from Paletweb that they had sent them out. But then again, I've had some orders take a week and a bit. Just pray that something like Elixir's Bayonetta debacle doesn't happen.

My family's credit card is currently unavailable for use atm. Begging my friend to get it for me. He knows I pay back my loans quick, but he's really anal about ordering stuff online. I hope he doesn't not trust these sites and decide not to. I don't want to try and get it after the price jacks up to $200 like mushi 1 >=P

Aisha · « **Reply #761 on:** November 20, 2009, 01:15:02 AM »

Heh, I waited a good long while for Touhou 12, since I preordered it. Then again, Paletweb is in Japan. NCSX is in the US, so they already take care of customs and all that stuff-- so once it ships here, it shouldn't take more than a couple of days to be in my excited little hands. I'm just hoping that I'm high enough on the queue that I get a copy before they run out. On the other hand, I ordered the Limited Edition, which I'm sure is ordered less because it's about $40 more, but then again they may get fewer of those in stock...

As for Elixir's debacle, I think he ordered Bayonetta from Play-Asia, who I've never dealt with before, so I don't know how they work. I just know they're in Hong Kong....I think.

:parsee:x10 at all you people who actually have the money to actually buy Futari. Well, I don't even have an Xbox, so I was sort of screwed from the beginning anyway.

btw:

Died at 1-7 midboss. 825k. I'm getting close, it's only a matter of time.

BoLaD · « **Reply #764 on:** November 20, 2009, 02:46:22 AM »

Is it just me, or does the screen shake every time the slowdown ends in Dodonpachi?

Why yes, I think you are.

Oh, for some reason I was under the impression that NSCX was based in Europe (never shopped there before).

And yeah, he got Bayonetta from Play-Asia, which is in Hong-Kong or thereabouts. I was only bringing it up as a joke.

I'm now thinking of picking Futari up long before I'm even able to play it, just in case there are supply issues or whatever. But then again, Death Smiles has been out for a while, and I think it's still available. Got some thinking to do...

Don't be that jealous. I'm absolutely draining my account for this. As in, all I'll have left is the $5 to keep the account open and around $35 in my pocket. It's a stupid financial move for me, but dammit, it's worth it.

Nice gb2 score, too.

Yeah, NCSX is in New York, if I remember right.

I think picking up Futari is more of a priority than picking up the Xbox to play it--that is, the Xbox 360 Arcade models are always going down in price, when I can only see Futari going up.

Hibachi-chan likes to appeal to my masochistic side. ^o^

Dude, keep that to yourself.

I do not see what is so wrong about masochism.

Dodonpachi makes me hungry :V

om nom nom nom

I just got done playing a few bosses in Practice mode in ESPGaluda, at full rank, in Kakusei Overheat mode. It's a blast.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #774 on:** November 20, 2009, 04:17:39 PM »

First thing I've done after getting my PC back was trying Dodonpachi. I didn't get worse at all :V

None of the loop 1 bosses seem that hard, except for the final st6 pattern....I fail it. And I can't take this game seriously.

Also got a 260 combo in st5, just 10 more and it would be a loop if I would 1cc it.
EDIT: Tried Donut's Hibachi save.
Less than 10 continues....I think. I've lost with bombs left many times since I've actually tried to dodge instead of bombspam.

But that last pattern....dick move, bro.

Azinth · « **Reply #775 on:** November 20, 2009, 04:31:44 PM »

DDP's bosses become at least twice as hard when you're not using a laser type, at least I've found. Of course, when you use the laser the stages get a lot harder, so it sort of evens out.

btw Banana, you should try out some other arcade shmups too while you're at it. Give Gunbird 2 and Mars Matrix a spin.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #776 on:** November 20, 2009, 04:38:55 PM »

Hibachi 4cc second attempt. With only a tiny tiny ~~clever~~ piece of life left and it would be a 3cc.

I probably will someday, as I don't need loli in my games

Seriously, the next 3 shottypes in Touhou could be the Lemonparty guys and I would still enjoy that game.

He's a lolicon, too :V

Also, I'm sure Drake could make your Lemonparty dream a reality~
