Finally got myself a copy of Mushihime-sama Futari. It arrived in the mail this afternoon, making today an even better day for games! According to tracking, DoDonPachi Ressurection should be here tomorrow too! AND, I just got this Neo Geo cab for free! It needs a monitor and guts. But it has all of the controls and the coin door. I may install a PC and MAME into it and make is a Neo Geo only cab. It all depends on how much the guts will cost, but either way, that project isn't going to happen for a long, long, long long long, long time.

I was wondering... is Mushihime-sama Futari region-free? I found it for a good price once but gave up on it because I wasn't sure if I could play it on my 360.

Also, FINALLY got something that I pledged for on kickstarter (I pledge on over 20 things since April and it's the first time I get anything in return!), with Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams coming out on Steam.

Ya this is Mushihime-sama Futari Version 1.5, which is region free. DoDonPachi Resurrection is also, as long as you get the PAL version. Another one is Espgaluda II Black Label and Muchi Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets. Muchi Muchi is really expensive though and I think it was a really limited printing.

[jobocan]

Alright, thanks for the info. I might have to hunt some of these down eventually.

...

I still find it crazy that the 360 is such a treasure trove for scrolling shooters when you'd think most of the audience for those games would be on PS3.

[scott]

Ya I need to track down as many as possible. It just sucks soooo much that they never get released in the States.

Edit: Also, apparently all version of the 360 release are region free.

Just be a bit careful - all versions of Mushihimesama Futari are region free, but ESPgaluda 2 doesn't work that way as the limited edition (but not the standard or re-release) is region locked. Muchi Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets is region free. The Japanese versions of Akai Katana, Mushihimesama (1), and DoDonPachi (all versions) are region locked. The PAL versions of Akai Katana and DDP work on PAL and US 360s, but not Japanese ones.

o.O

In any case I've recently bought a couple of little things -

Devil Summoner Soul Hackers (Jp Saturn)
Virus (Jp Saturn)

[scott]

Err yeah, I meant I wanted to hunt down as many of the region free ones as I could. Of course I still need to get Raiden Fighters Aces and a ton of XBLA ones yet too.

[kimimi]

Sorry, I just didn't want anyone buying a shmup and not being able to play it

It's cool. It would be way nicer if we got them released here. Then we wouldn't need to worry about it at all...

Today's purchase: In The Groove (PS2) - $2.50.

I need a replacement case and artwork though.
