European shooter fans are looking forward to
Rising Star’s localization of the Cave shooter
“DoDonPachi Resurrection” aka “DoDonPachi Dai
Fukkatsu” this winter but North American
gamers are also invited to play because the
game will be partially
region-free.
The game will boot fine on North
American Xbox 360 consoles but is incompatible
with Japanese Xbox 360s.
According to Yen Hau of Rising Star
games, the European version of DDPDF will be
the 1.5 version of the game. From an interview
with Electronic Theater, Hau said, “We will be
releasing the final version of
Dodonpachi Resurrection
in one
Deluxe
package. This includes the final Version 1.5
and both Arrange modes which were included in
the Japanese release. The Black Label Arrange
mode and updated Version 1.51 will be
available as [downloadable content] over Xbox
LIVE. We will also include the official
soundtrack in the pack, just as we did with
Deathsmiles.”
Preorders will ship in November 2011
From the Manufacturer
Dodonpachi Resurrection
(Daifukkatsu in Japan) is the fifth game in
CAVE’s flagship DonPachi series.
After the turmoil caused by the assault on
Lunapolis which sparked the "Blissful Death
Wars" (as depicted in the previous installment),
peace seems to have been restored, with the
legendary DonPachi Corps retreating to its HQ in
a space-time fold. Six years later, anomalies
are detected in the space-time fabric, yet tests
reveal nothing out of order, with the portals
regularly functioning for both teleportation and
time travel; also, the leader of the DonPachi
squadron Colonel Longhena Gottvin dismisses the
matter due to the lack of actual danger.
Nevertheless, a technician delves deeper into
the anomaly, discovering that something has
infiltrated the HQ computer systems and is using
the portals to send large quantities of
materials and data to the past, spreading out
like a virus and quickly evolving. Unsettled,
the Colonel authorizes the last transport ship
to time jump in order to fight back the invasion
before future changes.
Once again, the three pilots jump back in time
to 2008 and enter the fray, the transport ship
being targeted as soon as it exits the portal:
the Element Daughters, gigantic evolutions of
the Dolls, are awaiting... The bee is still
humming.
Key Features
Xbox 360-only Features. Now players can
experience Dodonpachi Resurrection the way it
was intended, for arcades. Challenge the
complex scoring system of Arcade mode in full
HD resolution with an arcade stick or Xbox 360
controller.
An AI that adapts to the player. Dodonpachi
Resurrection for Xbox 360 features a remixed
mode “Arrange B” which adjusts itself
according to the user’s play style. With every
play-through, bullets increase or decrease
according to skill. With each clear, enemies
get harder to kill and more bullets fill the
screen, on the other hand giving incredible
scoring opportunities. The only stop to this
progression is the skill of the player him or
herself.
A Tribute to a Classic. Exclusive to the
console release, “Arrange A” is the second
remixed mode included with “Resurrection”,
which borrows some of the gameplay mechanics
of PS2 shooter classic and prequel “Daioujou”
for a massive challenge.
Online scoreboards and replays. Dodonpachi
Resurrection features online scoreboards and
replays to let you compare your scores to
friends as well as the best of the best.
Online score sharing is a huge step over the
PS2 days and conveys the relevance of
point‐based games much better than any offline
console has ever done.
