It's exactly £40 on Amazon Japan which now, incidentally, ships internationally. Interesting.

romanista · **Posted:** Fri Mar 11, 2016 12:06

it's about the same on play asia http://www.play-asia.com/raiden-v/13/707wcd

wonder if amazon will be cheaper...

Why is Dariusburst still £30 on Steam? That's what I want to know.

It was down at £24 for a brief period of time but I'm targeting £15, or ideally a tenner.

I shouldn't be such a tightarse really but then again I do have an entire MAME-ful of fantastic shooters that I can play whenever I want.

LOL. About £17 I'd imagine, thank you very much 51%.

romanista · **Posted:** Mon Jan 29, 2018 11:31

@thevision, have you tried gunbird in tate mode on thew switch, it seems to map the controls wrong

Bought raiden V.. it's a bit noisy with so much stuff happening around you (like cheers from / to other players), so it lacks a bit the purity to really zone in for me

And.. Zerogunner now out... for 6 euros i guess i buy it... http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018- ... sibilities

@romanista This is from Gunbird. Set the controller orientation to normal and it works fine in tate mode. #NintendoSwitch pic.twitter.com/yjpv40HHdV

You're right. The controller orientation was automatically set to rotate but when it's 'normal' it works fine in tate mode.

romanista · **Posted:** Mon Feb 05, 2018 16:10

I saw your twitter message too, thanks for that, but i didn't manage to do it well..

1. i tried -> rotating display 90 degrees, rotating controls -> direction works, but not buttits on the bottom, since the dead doubles the direction, only on the top of the screen, which feels horrible.. According to the onscreen instructions it should work ('A' and ' ->' should double) , but it doesn't ..

2. i now tried setting it to normal, the directional keys work rotated... (so not playable)...

So what kind of shenanigans are required to get that on a UK PS4 then?

Create a japanese account (This will all be in japanese...)
Buy money from playasia or similar to put in wallet
Buy game using said money

I ordered the disc version from play asia, was even slightly discount to 52 eur (43 pounds?) https://www.play-asia.com/ketsui-deatht ... /13/70c0yh

ps4 region free..

romanista · **Posted:** Wed Jan 09, 2019 22:25

It arrived! Including the book!

romanista · **Posted:** Fri Jan 11, 2019 13:55

Man, really loving this ketsui version...

- all the arrangements included (in the disc version)
- the game as brilliant as ever (only played on game before)
- the booklet is quite nice (and thanx to the wonders of google translate sort of readable)
- and the 'gadgets' actually are interesting

herre's a little video i made..

on the left you see a number of numbers related to the various bonus systems, most importantly, the nearby sensor... and you see how effective your shots is, think that make me a better player..

on the right you see either a map or boss info..

Now I'm a happy man.

romanista · **Posted:** Wed Jan 08, 2020 10:04

Esp.rade came out this week on the jap eshop

See this detailed review. https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/ni ... _ra_de_psi

Really nkce how they put in some new modes, and tate! On the switch

Bought It for 5000 yen on the Japanese eshop, around 40 euros.

I can't get on to that site at work—do they say anything about a Western release? I've already got a slightly borked Nintendo account thing due to someone messing around with CFW stuff on my Switch, and don't like the idea of setting up more for one game.

The only thing that they say about a Western release is:-

Quote:

This mode is likely aimed at the Japanese mobile crowd who enjoy Gacha games, and if it sells more copies of ESP Ra.De., then it's no bad thing – even if western players might not be able to fully enjoy it (let's hope that a release outside of Japan happens).

Hopefully, this superb package will see a western release in the fullness of time so an even wider audience can sample its myriad delights.

Is the only thing that mentions it - getting a Japanese account on there is easy to do but if your worried then maybe give it a little while to see if they do a western release.

romanista · **Posted:** Thu Jan 09, 2020 13:02

Not sure why you’re worried for the jp accoutn. Just use annew email adress. The eshops cards are safely available via playasia, where i’ve been buyong import stuff since at least fifteen years...

Speaking of Mr Campbell I haven’t seen him tweet in a while. I know Wings got shot down. Did his personal account get the same treatment?

I was just in time, Mushihimesama has been pulled

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/ ... tch_europe

It is a beautiful version, looks so much nice than on the ipad, Tate mode, including a zoom, so it is optimal with the switch flip grip

I also just got Raiden IV vs Mikado for the switch, but haven't got time yet to properly play it..
