ESP Ra. De., ESP Galuda

[bargora]

Shmups, shmups, shmups! Big Money! Big Prizes! I love it!

So Insert Credit says that Cave is releasing another arcade shooter (ESP Galuda) to sequelize their earlier ESP Ra. De. Did ESP Ra. De. even see the light of day in U.S. arcades? Will ESP Galuda get over to arcades this side of the ocean?

Even if not, I'm sure that both will be ported to PS2 by cave and localized by ASCII as a budget release for $30, ala R-Types. Right? @_@ @_@ @_@

I'd honestly like to know if ESP Ra. De. ever made it to the U.S., but I doubt that it did. Though there are Japanese and "World" versions of the game, I've never seen an American release with English text.

I hope ESP Galuda comes here, or that Cave actually makes a home version of it. The company has the habit of never porting anything other than Donpachi games, not that there's anything wrong with Donpachi.

But anyway, ESP Ra. De. is one of my shooters EVAR, so this makes me happy. :-D

I'm 99.99999% sure ESP Ra. De. did not make it over here.

Good call on Cave's lack of porting anything non-Donpachi related. Where's my home Dangun Feveron dammit?????

Yay for new Cave games! Booooooooo for Cave not porting them stateside, even for the arcade, and much less the console, where they should be so I can purchase them and be all happy.

Seriously. I'd like to know if Storm of Progear/Progear no Arashi was released over here. It was published by Capcom, so it might have been location tested in American arcades.

I believe I've heard confirmation of a US arcade sighting on that one.
