So this is what you were about to spoil the other day…

Thanks Spencer – We’ll be running Gal*gun for the next few hours, so if you wanted to see just what Gal*gun is about, now’s your chance.

Be advised, it’s a bit… odd if you haven’t kept up with the coverage. It is rated CERO D, which is about all the warning I can give for you.

A playtest will appear a few days after this, but you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes, well, have a look.

watching the live. Lots of moaning lol.
nyoron

Damn it my copy still hasn’t arrived yet! That’s what I get for being a cheap-ass on shipping…

Not watching this because I want to play it spoiler free lol

  lol, same here, I always go cheapass on shipping… I don’t want to be spoiled (haven’t even played the demo yet) and would just wait for my copy.
  And people said this was censored, what was :P..
PrinceHeir

looks sweet :)

Man, even getting in the girls’ changing room didn’t make him look like a big pervert.
MrSirFeatherFang

I’m pretty sure IntiCreates (most known for Mega Man Zero) took part in developing this (or is it their own game?)
That’s what surprised me when I saw the developer/s lol
Darkrise

Wish it were region-free…

  Thought it was?

    No, the game is only NTSC-J locked according to a few sources. I have a NTSC-J console to run it on though.

      Can you prodie your sources?
      
      Often a disc will carry a specific region tag, but actually work on mutliple.
      
      The PAL version of Trol Evolution for example. It carries tha PAL tag, but also works on NTSC-J and NTSC-N.
      
      Zumba Fitness on the other hand works only in PAL and NTSC-U with NTSC-J being excluded.
      
      Chances are it is only NTSC-J, but you can never be completely sure without testing.
      - Barrit
        
        I usually check Play-asia. They have the Asian version of Tron Evolution listed as region free but they have Gal Gun as not compatible with anything but NTSC-J. I’d imagine they are a good source since they do have a “Xbox360™ Regional Compatibility Guide”
      - http://www.facebook.com/Robborboy Paul ‘Chinny’ Chinn
        
        Ah, Play Asia. That site always tends to slip my mind. Thanks.
      - Aoshi00
        
        I just tested my copy, it doesn’t work w/ the US system, region locked as expected. Not sure about PAL, according to P-A’s chart should be the same thing. P-A hasn’t updated their compatibility chart yet, but Dream Club Zero doesn’t work on the US system as well. I know like 99% of Jpn 360 games don’t work on US system though, w/ very few exception. I always try testing it myself if P-A’s list isn’t filled out yet because I prefer playing on my newer US system if possible.Thank god both of my games got the pre-order bonus DLC, the GalGun DLC was on a separate card and not in the box. W/ pre-order DLC, you never know if you’re going to get it or not, I so hate that uncertainty…
      - http://www.facebook.com/Robborboy Paul ‘Chinny’ Chinn
        
        I don’t know if 99% is very accurate. I can give you a very large list of Japanese games work on NTSC or PAL.
        
        I can’t say I have ever had a problem with getting pre-order DLC. Who have you had problems with?
      - Aoshi00
        
        I don’t know about PAL, but other than a few games that I know of, most Jpn games don’t work on US systems. On the other hand, most US games are region free and work on both US & Jpn systems (again dunno about PAL). Hm.. sometimes the vendors don’t get 1:1 ratio pre-order bonus for their shipment, it’s always a hit or miss but I try my best to ask them before I buy. Like Yes-Asia missed my FF13 Int’l booklet recently, but they were willing to refund me for half the price so I could buy it separately on ebay. Also NCSX just missed my Last Story soundtrack/artbook. I’ve gotten bonus successfully from AmiAmi/NCSX/P-A/Y-A, but there’s no guarantee.. sometimes I get bonus when I don’t even expect it.. like Professor Layton keychain.. but like Deathsmiles 2, AmiAmi didn’t send me the DLC music card so I had to buy it on ebay.. paying extra for pre-order bonus DLC sucks.. There are always those who put up the whole package and first print on ebay, but we know they price gouge, but that’s a sure way to know that you’re getting everything.. I’m hoping NCSX doesn’t screw up w/ my Catherine pre-order bonus though..Wow, I just started playing the game now, really fun and cute :) Going for Akira first (and Haruka for Dream Club Zero :)

        Just woke up – Play-Asia stated in its compatibility guide that Gal*gun was NTSC-J only.
        
        I was intending to drop by a friend’s place later to verify PAL compatibility though, although I don’t exactly plan to hold my breath – the only games I’ve come across that work on cross platform systems tend to be PAL or NTSC-U games working on my system.

I’d probably fail at playing the game because I’d be spending half the time practically rolling on the floor laughing like I’m doing right now.

lol. the first screeen I’m greeted with is a girl playing the guitar and some weird shooting aspects.

lmfao what is this? xD

It’s really cool that you guys cover games like this :D

Lovely pink “now loading” icon between the stages and cutscenes. I like these little extras.

Rofl wtf, so crazy

hey lets annoy some publishing company to get this localized. Send 50,000 requests.

Thank you all for watching Gal*gun for the 8 hours runtime. I’m not sure what you make of it, but feel free to let us know what you think about it.

I’ll collect my thoughts on the game in a written playtest in the coming weeks.

As a whole I’d like to thank you all for being pretty mature overall and considering the game for what it is.

If nothing else, it was a fun trip to make, just to see what was on the other side of the Pacific.

That was amazing. (trying to help on the pose stage was fun, too :P) I think I saw most of the game, but I still plan on getting my own copy, eventually.
Thanks for hosting!

  I appreciate the help, considering that my previous attempt wasn’t too great – the odds of 33% are not that good, when you have to do it multiple times in a row.
  
  That and it seems there’s a bit of debate what looks cool. A patch to clarify that a bit would be nice.

    I still think that leaning on the wall was cooler than striking that Superhero pose. The twintails (the one I wanted you to do first lol) chick had no sense in taste.

This needs Kinect support and a localization for Europe and America. Now.
- Barrit
  
  Another source talked to them and they said they would add Kinect support if the game sold 1 million units worldwide. They said they plan to release it worldwide and the overseas title would be “Japanese MOE Galaxy.” I really doubt they were serious though. It’s still a funny read though

    That better be true :p

This game looked hilarious. I didn’t get to see it all and went to bed when you guys started the guitar girl with the funky hair. It looks a lot more fun than I thought. The different dialogue choices/outcomes was also a nice touch

I wish I could have seen the stream. At least I’m now following the channel so I know the next time it goes live.

Ok, I finally got to try the demo… not bad, but the loading times are downright atrocious. Anyway, this is the kind of game I can’t play for long with a joypad.
