This is a weird one and no mistake. We updated Final Burn Alpha, and heard in the comments that the SH3 series of Cave Arcade games maybe playable soon, and as Casino Leisure had reopened as a miserable slot hall would be a good way to reacquaint myself with Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu and Mushihimesama.
On a whim I checked out Cave's Wikipedia file and it had some intriguing bits under the mobile setting. Previously they've ported their bullet hell shmups to IPhone mainly with a few going to Android, so seeing a few new entries for stuff like Don Paccin and "Jagura x Monster" piqued the old interest.
Don Paccin I found easily, it seems to be, from the clips on Youtube, some sort of episodic shmup, that reminds me a bit of Muchi Muchi Pork but half as interesting. "Jagura x Monster" well that's anyone's guess and decided to flip to the Japanese Cave page to see how it was rendered in Kana. Turns out its Juggler vs Monster part of Kitai Corp's long running Pachi slot series and is some sort of RPG. If its known for anything its the secret mode from the Juggler DS games where you had to swipe a load of rhinoceroses with your stylus in a set time, so to see that its now a Japanese only slot machine based RPG is mental and possibly only available on phone.
Maybe if this ever gets funded I'll have to download this to see what all the fuss is about, but so far I'll have to make do with some Youtube vids.
