Music GunGun Best Hit Tunes

This one, there’s not much to say other than featuring the original tunes taken from the first and second series. Well, I might have recognized some of the original tunes from the series like the theme of the first game but then, there’s also the secondary theme of the first game. Oh man, the major update for the first game doesn’t mean it’s the second season of the game. Sure, the sequel has more songs as well as different concept and it has improved gameplay taken from the updated version of the original game but this is what the soundtrack CD is, it basically features all the original tunes taken from the whole series.

Once again, this is another rhythm game with Vocaloid tracks you may want to play.

Sound Voltex Late September Update

Wow, another rhythm game with Touhou music? That looks quite surprising to us and Konami had already contacted the sole creator of the Touhou franchise which might be an awesome opportunity. This isn’t the first rhythm game that has the Touhou music in the arcades. The previous one is the MGG series by Taito in which this was not the first time Taito had collaborated with ZUN. The first time Taito had collaborated with him took us back to the early 2000s via Graffiti Kingdom for Playstation 2 where you can use some Touhou character which had made the cameo appearance but you can use that game to model other Touhou characters in the better way as it allows you to model whatever character you want. Also, you have to define the emotions, attacks, poses etc. for the custom characters. This which is Touhou X Sound Voltex is what Konami took their opportunity to take some Touhou music on their own accord while contacting ZUN for some permissions as if he was already surprised on his Twitter account. That was after IOSYS, Sound Holic, etc. had contributed by adding their original songs and previous remixes to IIDX Lincle and this as well. Remember the Bad Apple black and white shadow art video? It was previously added to Taito’s MGG series and it is now in Sound Voltex Booth. Perhaps that is one of the most popular Touhou remixes so far. Other two remixes may include the remixes of UN Owen Was Her by IOSYS and Sound Holic. The one by IOSYS may have some reference to Second Heaven like you’re throwing out the party at the concert or so.

Bravos to Konami for this contribution but is there a reason not to HAVE the Bemani remixes of Touhou music instead? Nice flavor from Konami after doing good contributions to IIDX Lincle and Sound Voltex, IOSYS and Sound Holic. Hopefully, you two circles should be putting your own new songs to IIDX Tricoro one day.

Taito’s Music Gungun

Sure looks like a great and interesting rhythm game by Taito Corporation for arcades. I think I don’t know the actual release but it’ll be released in around this year. The game play is that you shoot the incoming enemies that are coming at you to the musical beat. Be careful not to let enemies successfully come at you because I think this is not good like they will attack you. This is another game with the Vocaloid voice appearance. The first game with Vocaloid complete cameo appearance is the one on the DS. It’s not quite easy to play with the gun controller or the Wii Remote. The easiest way is probably with the mouse, graphical tablet or touch screen but the funny thing for talking about this best method is that you’ll end up playing a game which its game play is based on INIS’ rhythm games on DS. In fact, even Hatsune Miku Project Diva’s game play is based on them as well. There are also bonus stuffs as well such as shape forming bonus, Chance Time where you can shoot the thing you’re chasing. Chance Time, huh. I might have seen this in Hatsune Miku Project Diva. It’s quite a great game. Home console ports will be good as well and I can imagine the Wii version can be easily ported from arcade original with more songs.

Update: There was also an update featuring more features of the game play as well as newer modes and songs. The sequel will be approaching as well.
