Shooting Festa 2010 went down today in Tokyo. Cave wasted no time announcing that Deathsmiles II X will be hitting the 360 on May 27th. There will be standard, and limited editions available costing ¥7,140 and ¥9,240 respectively. The LE will include a bonus soundtrack of remixes by various game musicians. (Where's Go Sato at?). In addition, Cave's classic Guwange will be hitting Xbox Live Arcade at some point to be arbitrarily determined by the powers that be (Microsoft). I guess they've since reversed their "no straight arcade ports" stance, which was responsible for the whole DoDonPachi DOJ BLEX debacle, and why Ketsui X isn't even out yet. That one's coming in April, finally, while the DOJ patch is currently being tested by Microsoft.
Overall, the whole show seemed like a more respectable event. Bigger, with more notable announcements, and guests. Also, proper equipment, although the Hori sticks were from the low-end Fighting Stick line. Looking forward to Shooting Festa 2011!
Dengeki: Managed to get a pic (it's the last one in the article) of the KOF Sky Stage demo setup featuring two Tournament Sticks from Mad Catz/MSY. Good show. Although it is widely held belief that Seimutsu joysticks are better for shooting games than the Sanwa parts found in those sticks. Still, credibility +10.
3G's: I was curious to find out what monitor they used in that Ketsui demo. I'm fairly certain it's an EIZO FlexScan SX3031W. A $3,000 monitor for a shooting game? I like that style. Whoever made that call is my hero.
