Looks like Cave is going for the less costly straight port route again, like they did with Mushi. Not clear if this is going to run on the iPad or just the iPhone though.

Too bad, since they attempted the IAP model with Deathsmiles – although I haven’t a clue about the exact numbers, I’d guess that the sky-high cost of IAP coupled with a higher price point for the game itself probably contributed to its failure (relatively speaking). Which is just too bad, because I’d gladly pay more for another iPhone mode with awesome remixed music.

It’s $11.99. Online impressions seem to suggest that the emulation isn’t all too great.

3. You can go to the next stage if the total purchase amount exceeds the standards of the photo.
4. The image is displayed on the screen before the game starts, the higher is the best shot. Let this aim.

* Mushi iOS fuck yeah! Arcade (“Hell”) mode is insane and a painful reminder of how much I suck at shooters. Also, lower price point ♥
* I’m so tempted to pick up an iPhone just so I can take the game on the road with me. But the Galaxy Nexus is $150 on Amazon…
* Gundemonium Recollection “added some Christmas colors to the mix”:http://steamcommunity.com/id/pxtable/screenshot/612719780963347308
* “Satazius”:http://store.steampowered.com/app/203990/ now on Steam for $6. Not picking this one up – too many shmups, too little time.

But what I’m really playing right now is “Privateer”:http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/wing_commander_privateer which is $3 along with the rest of the old Wing Commander games on GOG.

I love Sting’s work, but tell me that isn’t just a straight up EO clone with dragons and in-game purchases tossed in…

Mushi iOS – release date for Japan on 12/15. If you check the end of the video seems they may be working on Futari as well.
