New post from Asada, but still no newly announced games
Asada posted today on his blog, and said we’ll have to wait just a bit longer for the announcement of their upcoming game(s). He’s currently working on putting together materials for the announcement. He mentions at the end of the post one game will have a regular edition and a limited edition version.
Opinion: The best home version of Dodonpachi Daioujou?
There are two consumer versions of this game for purchase: a PS2 port and an X360 port. Which should you buy? Both ports are wonderful, with extremely accurate slowdown replication. Here are the advantages of each.
A few Shooting games will be announced after the New Year
In Asada’s latest blog post, he has some good news for Shooting Game fans:
“Early in the New Year I’ll be able to announce a few shooting games which I personally think will meet your expectations.” He doesn’t specify if they are on the X360 or Arcade or whatever, but combining what he said in this week’s Dengeki interview, at least one of them should be for the X360.
He also said they’re working on their next Adventure game and he hopes to present a plot summary in the near future.
New Cave X360 game to be announced very soon
In a recent interview with Dengeki, Asada said their next X360 title will be announced around the New Year, which is just a few days away. He also hinted at more multiplatform development, but this seems to be focusing more on smartphone games. He says that regardless, they will continue to support the X360 as their core user base is on the platform.
Dodonpachi Saidai Oujou?
On November 14, 2011, Cave registered a trademark for a game called 怒首領蜂最大往生 “Dodonpachi Saidai Oujou”, which means “Dodonpachi: The Greatest Happy Death”. No one knows what this game is yet, so stay tuned.
Thanks to Mon for the info.
Announcement of 2012 titles coming soon
Asada says he is conducting some interview(s) on Monday where he will talk about Cave’s lineup for 2012. As soon as he’s able to comment about that on his blog, he will. So we should hear about their upcoming titles pretty soon.
Cave is also doing a survey for Instant Brain, looking for suggestions for a future adventure game, which Asada alludes to be in the works. Looks like Instant Brain is just the start for Cave’s line of console adventure games.
More arcade ports coming soon
According to Makoto Asada, in a recent interview with Siliconera. You can read more details here.
The top search query for cave-stg.com is…PIGEON BLOOD
In the “weird news” section (if we had such a section), I noticed Alexa.com has shown that the search query with the highest impact factor driving traffic and advertisers to the site is “pigeon blood”. This is, of course, from the various Deathsmiles Mega Black Label threads on the site where Pigeon Blood Jitterbug is discussed in great detail. I never would have guessed this would be something that drives people to the site. Are there really so many people interested in pigeon blood?

Nin-2 Jump included in Instant Brain
But it’s called Nin-2 Brain. It will be Kinect compatible, like Dodonpachi. Also like Dodonpachi, it’s an unlockable bonus game that’s not playable from the start. This news was first posted nearly a month ago, on this Japanese blog.
