Darius Burst for Iphone

This one, there’s no much of surprises but it seems that Darius Burst for Iphone may seem to be looking like the PSP version or even the better one. Well, if there’s Xbox 360, PS Vita and Android ports of this game, then perhaps the PSP version may be for you to forget or something. Man, if there’s also the tablet version of Darius Burst under Darius Burst HD, I guess that the HD graphics may be taken from the arcade version. But porting like that from the arcade version to Xbox 360 and tablet devices may be imperfect and non-exact. Anyway, what a nice announcement from Taito during the Lunar New Year days.

However, Famitsu reports that the whole Darius Burst for Iphone is the new title with new music but according to the screenshots I already saw, the game itself still looks like Darius Burst anyway.

Few upcoming Dodonpachi’s on the works

Looks like more than two Dodonpachi related games are on the works. Two of them are new while the other one is the existing game for Iphone, Dodonpachi Daioujou. It may seem that there’s not much to say about Dodonpachi Daioujou over its interface but for Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu, it actually has the proper sense on its futuristic interface as you can see on the title background, the ‘Demonstration’ text and so on. Speaking of that kind of interface, it seems that Dodonpachi Maximum has reached that kind of level. It is the upcoming game for Windows Phone 7 devices. That is wow upon stumbling across that site that it should deserve the Android and Xbox 360 ports. For Dodonpachi Saidaioujou, who knows. We have to wait even further before further information can be discovered in the future. That was what I was told after being curious about the storyline between Dodonpachi Daioujou, Daifukkatsu and Saidaioujou. Maybe the war will be twice as fierce in Dodonpachi Saidaioujou after the whole war was declared in the past for nothing in Daifukkatsu. What a waste of the pilot’s time but at least, he had already saved the past or the history of the game series will forever be changed. Then for Dodonpachi Maximum, there’s an additional credit info that says ‘Developed by Evac Industry’? Maybe it’s a spin-off but who knows if that will behave like Ketsui.

Plus, Cave developed their secondary blog in January 23rd which was the one first day of Lunar New Year with the profile being Evac Industry. Imagine that there are two to three to four shmup teams now. One of them may be the one that will work on Dodonpachi Maximum, one of them may be Dodonpachi Team or something with the other team working on something else. The last team involves the Battle Garegga team that the HUD fonts surely look that retro. Wow, will there be a catastrophic war with mechanical dragons wiping out everything by then? Thanks to that commander that the whole idea of his will be successful. Not only there will be elemental daughters wiping us out, but also the mechanical dragons made by that commander as part of the war. Well, thanks to Cave for making this update happen in January 23rd like it’s throwing all the attacking dragons mixed yellow-ish bullets at us starting in January 22nd.

Rayforce for Iphone/Ipod Touch

After the CCA Fair that took place today this morning, I stumbled on this port that was tweeted by Taito. They were not kidding about this port of Rayforce. Seems that Cave Co. Ltd was inspired by Taito’s creation action when it comes to shmup games on the Iphone and therefore, the controls work pretty well. However, there’s one bastard that is going to hold you back a bit. The game costs about $12 estimated as if you’re playing this on Xbox Live Arcade.

Twinbee Portable obtained

Finally, the vacation was already over in January 8th and the last term started in January 9th. There will be Case Studies to do individually which is freaking super-tedious as I feel like it’s now in addition to Phase Tests and Class Tests. After various searches for new games to buy on the first day of the campus, this title happened. Well, I also want to buy another 3200 MS Points so that I can buy Bullet Soul for instance but then, I couldn’t even brace myself on that as other people also bought those cards as well. Sure, you can buy those cards for downloadable games and DLCs which can make sense to the gamers but then, it is getting quite rarer than before nowadays.

I actually had the complete idea of Twinbee series in which the original series was my childhood discovery in addition to original Gradius on the same Nintendo 8-bit system. Another childhood discovery of Konami games was likely to be Contra for example but what else did I play during my childhood then?
Finally, this is not the first Konami classic compilation I bought for the PSP. Other twos were Salamander Portable and Gradius Portable. Before this year, I also saw the copy of this compilation like years ago but then Japanese imports like this were quite hard to find.

Under Defeat HD (Remastered Blog Post)

There’s the upcoming Under Defeat HD that will come with one more shooter for PS3 and Xbox 360 this year so I can’t guarantee if we can play that peacefully without those threats that are approaching our globe. Will the graphics look like those from Strania?

Under Defeat HD Update: The graphics are re-enhanced just like Mamoru-kun Has Been Cursed on the consoles. The Xbox 360 version will be the same as the Playstation 3 version. These two versions will feature a true widescreen mode just like the previous game on the Playstation 3.

New Project Diva and Upcoming Project Mirai

Not much to say about this announcement here as we had already discovered the news about them. From one time during Christmas Day last year, Sega posted their video of the new Project Diva along with the new song that is going to be put into it. Will this be on PSP or Playstation Vita? Supposedly enough, I played some Christmas song in Project Diva Extend anyway on that day. On the day before the actual Christmas Day, it seemed that I played the same song at the arcade. Nowadays, the machines of Project Diva Arcade are getting more hardware problems than ever, so are the other machines of the other games at the arcade.

Due to some insults to the fans of Vocaloid from some contents from some countries perhaps due to lack of research and knowledge, I can guarantee that Project Diva and Mirai games are to be playable around Asia, not anywhere else. Not to mention that Nintendo 3DS console is region locked but I can guess that Project Mirai can be playable in both Japanese 3DS and Asian 3DS consoles but then having to buy games like this outside Japan is not easy.

Some friend of mine said things like, “Wow, is that character on the screen your g********* or something?” OH REALLY, FRIENDLY FAGS? Do you ask the other fans the same sort of questions, huh? I’m sure that you’ll be told off like hell for that as I’m not the only fan of Vocaloid so far as to expect. So geez, don’t try to ask me these retarded questions again!

Project Diva Arcade (December 11th run)

It may seem to be no big deal in seeing various games finally imported for Xbox 360 at other shops such as those fighting games for example. Well, that was what happened after waiting for days for them to be imported. Other than that, I should have gone to Tampines Mall two days ago which was December 10th.

Improvements and Mistakes So Far

Well, I brought the earpiece that came with my Ipod Touch to the arcade and it turns out that you cannot hear anything coming from the earpiece while it is plugged to the headphone jack of the machine in the first place unless you turn on the Headphone Volume during Song Select section. Unfortunately, I forgot to check one more thing and that was the difficulty section and therefore, I accidentally played the first song of this run in Easy Mode which was such a worthless mistake. On the second stage, I finally chose Normal Mode before starting another song.

Hmm, the target audience has been checked for guarantees when it comes to Vocaloid stuff that everyone can play Project Diva Arcade during holidays. However, on the internet, there were some retarded kids who reacted in the stupidest ways to the Vocaloid stuff that you may want to put them in MUGEN and have the fighting game characters you play as in MUGEN to fight those kids in that game. It sounds quite offensive that you may want to flag that fucking reaction video as offensive as well on YouTube. I think that the target audience attraction was screwed up in certain countries and therefore, certain idiots like those kids had seen such stuffs.

Meanwhile at the arcade, the original SF IV cabinets were moved and both machines were finally working. However, the sticks started to go lousy or something on me that I couldn’t easily use the Ultra Moves and that wasted $2 on that fix. Also on the downside, the SSF IV machines were unplayable by card for unknown reasons.
