X360 Mushihimesama Futari JPN

New Import: $73.90/each

JAN/SKU Code: 4988648688490
 X360 Mushihime-sama Futari v1.5 - New Import, In Stock
NCS Product Synopsis [Edited]
 «©NCSX» Pilot Princess Reko atop her beetle Kiniro or take control of a lad named Palm who rides a dragon known as Hirow and shoot at waves upon waves of insect attackers. The Xbox 360 conversion of Mushihimesama Futari is based on the Arcade 1.50 version of the game but the first printing includes a bonus DLC card included inside every copy which unlocks the v1.01 revision of Futari which features different bullet patterns.
   Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 has the distinction of being one of the most difficult shooters in existence but it's mainly because the bullets from bosses rain down in sheets. Repeat: sheets. Literally, bullets upon bullets. Gamers can look forward to nonstop streaming shots, mesmerizing spiraling shots, and thick waves of rapid shots that afford 1cm of leeway. Even elite players who regularly conquer shmups of all stripes on one measly credit are initially confounded by Futari. We're of the opinion that Cave and arcade operators conspired to make sure that Futari 1.5 gobbles as many credits as possible from average players. Top players might need to feed the beast 2-20 credits depending on individual skill level and hitbox awareness. 

   Please note that we cannot accept any changes to preorders as of today. We have a large volume of orders to process and we want to make sure everyone's order is shipped out this afternoon before the holiday.
