Some days there’s just too much going on… and this is not counting MM’s DVD special or the SPN OVA which are also theoretically out, not to mention Kamidori’s trial sitting here staring at me… Anyway, now that I think about it, I never did get a chance to check out the C79 demo for this. Looks like a fairly unsurprising cast though. It also does look like it’s been sped up a little more from their earlier promos, but I could just be imagining things. Seeing all the meters on the top and side still gives me a headache. I do like the voicework on this more than Touhou Sky Fight although some of the music is over… mechay? Is that a word? It is now. Full version will go on sale March 13th.
AQLoop announced their RPG based on the characters of their SHMUP TWilight refrAIN a long time ago, but finally put out a PV showing off its engine… which is apparently some kind of neo-DS box destroying pseudo-base defense thing apparently. Your guess is as good as mine. They’re putting out a trial in a couple days, so I guess we’ll find out then. Shindenken will also be putting out QUALIA 3 (aka QLIONE on the PSN in the states) which looks… pretty much the same as the last two. Exciting!
I was really hoping Area-Zero would improve on MBA’s engine a little more than this. A lot more than this actually. Maybe I’m just not seeing some subtle differences, but to me, it looks like they just added some blur/after-image effects and slapped in a few new models. Nothing else of major note except random screenshots being posted for the past couple days unless you count Souvenir Circ uploading the world’s biggest waste of a PV ever or AQLoop showing that they have absolutely no idea how breasts work. Edit: Of course, one hour later, Aja has to post a ton of sort-of-new SSII stuff. Curse you, Aja!

I don’t even want to try to translate the title. It’s a cross between a pun on Youmu’s name and something like "sword dream." Anyway, it’s a rather lush action platformer… thing… that’s going to be getting its .20 trial release at Comiket. There are a ton more screenshots and character models on their site too. Meanwhile elsewhere (and to not transparently pad out this post at all, nope nope), Vanguard Princess’s upcoming next big update will be adding animated cut-ins for every character. Boing~~~
Daisessan has put up a trial for the game experience that can only be described by its title, Suika Versus Mecha Suika. Trust me, controlling each of a giant mechanical loli’s limbs independantly is easier said than done. …Uh, I think. It’s like driving a cow on rollerskates on ice at any rate. There’s also a new PV describing the mechanics behind Dash! Sakuya-san. It looks like they actually put some thought into the time stop mechanics too. Finally, I’m not sure if this is the best or worst doujin game ever made. It’s so amazing, that it doesn’t even have a title yet.
Doujin news wrapup from the past few days! Reddish Region’s posted a PV for their new expansion for Hinokakera, Chaotic Eclipse. The ever so descriptively titled Touhou SRPG Rangofu 2 has a PV as well. After the cut are included new, but not all that exciting PVs for the previously mentioned expansion for Sapheiros, Lingering Summer Heat, as well as an updated Hayabusa PV.
