Looks like M2 Daioujou has a rare overseas version included, called Dodonpachi 3.
Cool title screen
Gameplay Differences
Only in this version, the starting bomb stock for each shot type has been reversed. While Leinyan still starts with two bombs, Exy now starts with 3 bombs instead of 1, and likewise Shotia starts with 1 bomb instead of 3.
The speed of Shotia’s laser has been increased compared to White Label, but is still slower than Black Label.
Actions the player takes while fighting the Stage 5 boss Kouryuu now affect whether the game carries over the player’s Shot-Speed Rank into the second loop. If the player dies or if a bomb is used against the boss, the player’s Shot-Speed Rank will reset to 0 at the beginning of the second loop; otherwise, the player’s Shot-Speed Rank will be unchanged.
You no longer lose all of your lives upon reaching the game’s second loop, fixing a common complaint from high-level players.
Huh. Interesting. Apparently it’s sort of a proto-Black Label version.
The cute aesthetic belies a really good shmup. Lots of care went into making this game really…good? I dunno I don’t have the vocabulary to talk about shmups but it’s cool. I think an SBer could 1CC this and take the top spot on the leaderboard as well.
OH also it lets you darken the backgrounds which i appreciate a lot
i love those stupid phone versions i own ketsui deathtiny as well and i probably played the phone one more. something about it being so dinky but also hard as really endears it to me.
I really love that it shows you the order in which you’ve collected the bees so you know which part of the stage to check out if you’re missing one. Critical for getting that first extend.
