Hi guys,

 

NGDEVTEAM made another update regarding there newsletter information of Kraut Buster.

 

Here's what they had to say!

 

Anthony...

 

NG Dev Team added 2 new photos.
Newsletter:

 

Dear customers,

for preparation for the start of the Kraut Buster AES CE pre-orders we want to provide some information before hand.

A second newsletter with detailed explanation of the game features will be send when the pre orders start in a few days.

Pre-orders for the AES CE start on June 9th/10th and will be kicked off with a new trailer.

The trailer will show the new character physics, graphic improvements/style change and new features. Besides adding more contra style controls and feels to it, we also added some unique game feature too. We already teased it a little on the AES insert previews. Maybe you can guess it. It's quite a game changer in our mind and sets KB further apart from MS.

Some words about the limitation:

The AES CE gets for the first time an exclusive insert design additional to more than ever extras.
Only the CE comes with a certificate card with limitation number. This card will use some kind of special paper and will have handwritten numbers in a old German writing style. As always a holographic number sticker will be on the back of the cartridge too.

The limitation is 98 both languages combined. So roughly only 49 English and 49 Japanese units with this insert will exist. Due to favors that were needed to create this game, only less than 90 units may be available for sale.

The starting price of the AES CE will be significantly higher than usual. All extra money will be spend with improving the game, adding content (maybe adding a 3rd character Valeria "Bona" Bossa?). Our goal is to reach Japanese arcade quality in about 8 months from now.

Kraut Buster cost us the same amount of money to produce like Gunlord, NEO XYX and Razion _combined_. Yes combined! Thus we need to sell more units and at a higher price. If this works out, you can look forward for more high quality pixel art games in the future.

RAZION AES CE took 7 hours to sell out, with the new price we assume it will take a little longer this time.

Pre orders of the AES LE will follow about 2 months later. The AES LE will be priced at an early bird price of 449 EUR. It's limitation will be at least 100 units.

Like usual the AES version ships 3-6 month after the MVS version, to be sure to have the final version for the non update able AES carts.

All MVS versions are limited to one print run. The game will be licensed in 2016 to another arcade platform for Japan/Asia.

If you don't follow us on social medias, you can find some new CRT screen shots and first product photos here: http://www.kraut-buster.com

Razion AES:

RAZION AES is still scheduled for shipping this month. We should get the games in the next 2 weeks according to the manufacturer.

Hig uys,

 

Back again with fellow Atariage member "GadgetUK" doing another maintenance & repair video.. This morning, the great sir is showing us a Neo Geo CD Region Mod. Another enjoyable video to watch I must say.

 

More from his description,

 

"A short video showing the simple process of adding a switch to toggle between Japanese and English language on a Japanese Neo Geo CD."

Hi guys,

 

Pre-orders and new video of Kraut Buster are now available! Here is more from them on their Facebook page.

 

NG Dev Team

New Kraut Buster Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9OEt-3CMXI

Dear customers,

We recommend to first watch the new trailer and then read the long text:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9OEt-3CMXI

This video shows an early development version.
Due to a change to a different musician team all music is extremely early.
We are going this time with a FM/chip tune sounding soundtrack.
The music is done by the team Groovemaster303 and Jredd.

Game play:

As we got mixed reactions for the last video trailer we worked very hard to improve on all fronts.

Differences to MS games:

As some people think this is a blatant MS clone,here are some differences listed:

- Mask feature. Wear different masks to change your characters abilities, your weapons, change your surroundings and enemy behaviors.

Examples:

- Chicken mask: become John Chickenstein and rescued chicks will join forces with their Gatling guns. You can also float slightly down with your feather power and drop big egg grenades.

- 13th Splatterguy mask: turn the fight into a blood carnage with your super charged long range machete. Rage flows early through your body. Knife throwing chick sidekicks.

- Wolf mask: supercharge your weapon power and make the grunts your little pigs. Rage flows early through your body. May have reduced scoring potential, but is easier to play.

- Pig mask: sniffle out secrets like a truffle pig and don't get eaten by the big bad wolves. Your tasty bacon body withstands a few bullet hits. Reduces difficulty in a passive way.

- Japanese "Tengu" demon mask: Jump as high and fast like a Ninja, use a Katana for close range attack and lay fused bombs (use them tactical). Also 3-way shuriken throwing ninja chicks.

Currently we have 5 mask implemented, but we plan to add 4-6 more, like "Vampire Hunter" mask (chain whip in the dictator's castle?), "Gunlord" mask (maybe with his wheel bombs?), "Uncle Sam", "McKraken Nerd mask", "Chainsaw killer mask". The possibilities are endless.

- Rescued chicks can act as sidekicks (depends on the mask). For example they shoot a Gatling gun, throw shurikens and knives. The amount of chicks attached change also their behavior.

- Contra style controls and game play elements such as:

8 way aiming
Aim lock (lock the weapon in a direction to better shoot enemies from above)
You can hold 2 weapons and switch between them anytime. If you die, you only loose the active one. (adds a nice tactical component)
With holding the lever in direction you can throw grenades further away
You can drop down from ledges/objects and outmaneuver enemies from above.
Faster pacing
Weapons like 3-way, scatter particle shotgun, arch grenades and others
Lot's of mini bosses (a little bit boss fest style here and there)
Spawning run-in enemies in some run'n'gun sequences.
1 mid boss per stage
2-3 scenario changes per stage
Different characters may have slightly different abilities (like speed/jump height)

- 2 players can co-op/interact with each other, like standing on the shoulders of each other to reach higher places. The score counter is shared for maximum co-op feels.

- Mission bosses are mostly based on German WW2 "Wonder Weapons". Like "Der Mörser „Karl“ (Gerät 040/041)", The "Bismarck", "Schweres 80-cm-Kanone (E) „Sondergeschütz“ Dora". We also added a few fantasy bosses like WW2 style mechas

- Mid bosses and mini bosses are more fantasy based like War-hot-air balloon, WW2 style mechas "Schneeläufer Ausf. B", "Über Soldiers", "Russian War Bears".

- Stages are up to 9000 pixel long pixel art drawings (no tiles, just like a huge fighting game background)
It's probably one of the most ambition pixel arts games made in a long time. No other company out there besides us is doing real 16 pixel art arcade games anymore and especially not in this scope.

- choose up to 3 different routes/difficulties with changes in length/map design/enemies and attack patterns.

- physic simulation for dead bodies/body parts, a first on NEOGEO! and a first on 16 bit? (currently in BETA)

- 60FPS/60Hz twice as fluid, twice as responsive, zero the lag of MS games.

- one of the biggest and most ambitious games developed for NEOGEO since SNK's unfortunate demise in 2000.

If you still think it's just a clone, just think of it as an in-official sequel. But with completely new engine, completely new graphics,completely new music, completely new stages, completely new enemies and completely new game play.

We want this game to become our masterpiece and tribute to NEOGEO and we are willing to continuing work very hard for it. If you have any feedback how we can further improve or cool ideas for mask items please don't hesitate to contact us. You can contact us anonymous too: http://www.ngdevdirect.com/contact_us.php (just use some bogus email).

If you don't follow us on social medias, you can find some new CRT screen shots and product photos here: http://www.kraut-buster.com

TL;DR: Kraut Buster will be awesome!

Hi guys,

 

After the backlash of the controversial pre-ordering at NGDEVTEAM for Kraut Buster, AES CE. Pre-ordering is open once more!!! They said the following on their Facebook account.

 

Dear Customers,

well this didn't go as expected. Kraut Buster AES CE was sold out within ~1h.
After the harsh critics of the first video and the price increase we didn't expected to sell that fast and well. We thought it will take at least 24h.
While that's good for us on first glance, it's also a serious problem. A lot of our best long time customers didn't got a CE unit. Due to a bug in the shop system we are also overbooked by more than 10 copies.
So what should we do? Cancel those units? Cancel the known investors? We can't really cancel them as they are very important to us too, whether some people like it or not, they help quickly raise the money that's needed for development.

To give our long time customers a chance we decided to increase the limitation.

All extra proceeds will go into increasing the quality further and also adding new content.
For example adding the female character, maybe a nice pixel intro as well. This type of game is eating money away like
nothing else. So it will be a welcome help.
It's both in the interest of gamers and "investors" a like. If you are an investor and want to cancel due to the increase, we will immediately comply and refund.

We will go with a maximum of 22-42 extra units. We will close it latest on June 19th no matter if we sold less. The certificate card will be adjusted accordingly. Numbers will be given in order of payment.

We sincerely think that this is in the best interest of everyone and especially for the NEOGEO community. Only with large sales numbers we can create the games the NEOGEO deserves.

Regarding the music.

It's really extremely early. The new musicians basically only had 2 long weekends to create what you heard in the trailer. Imagine what they can do in the next 6 month!
The reason we switched the musician is that Rafael unfortunately needed to retire from making commercial video game music for now, due to private and job obligations. We will miss his music for sure. He already promised to return for Gunlord 2, if we ever make it. Good news is that we have 2 SHMUPs in our secret vault with Rafael's completed music that will be released in the next years.

Best regards,
NGDEV

Hi guys,

 

This morning, I'm playing Samurai Shodown RPG for the NGPC. This title is also known as Shinsetsu Samurai Supirittsu: Bushidō Retsuden and was only avalible for the Japanese market.

 

More from Wikipedia regarding this title.

 

"The basic setup of the game is very similar to most console RPGs, such as Final Fantasy. The characters roam an overworld, enter towns and dungeons, and get into battles, which occur on a separate screen. The menu options enable equipping of armor and accessories, as well as use of items.

At the outset, the player is given the option to choose from six characters to be the "main" character of the story.[2] The basic outline of the plot does not diverge greatly for any of them, but each had different dialogue ingame, and each also had unique special scenes which would go into greater detail of the character.[3] In addition, to better adjust to character continuity, certain stories were modified slightly based on the selected chapter. Over the course of the game, two other characters can also join the party (unless the hero is Genjuro, who only gains a partner in his second story).[4] In addition, the second chapter also introduces a new character, a warrior by the name of Shippuu no Reon (疾風の鈴音), whose name translates roughly to "The Ringing of the Gale Winds."[5] All characters from the first two Samurai Shodown games make an appearance, either as a temporary helper, plot device, or enemy.[6]

From a game-mechanics standpoint, combat is not unlike Final Fantasy in most respects. Its most significant deviation from the formula is the an which enables the player to input the joystick motions for the various special moves manually, as in the arcade games, rather than simply selecting the moves from a list.[7] This, combined with the overall speed of combat, makes for fairly engaging gameplay, as it requires one to remember the motions for a character's moves.

Tactically, the game ranges wildly in overall difficulty. The second chapter is notably more difficult than the first, and the standard "attack" command is rarely useful in comparison to the ubiquitous special moves.

While armor and accessories can be bought and equipped, there are no weapons for sale anywhere in the game. Each character has the same weapon throughout the game, and players can visit blacksmiths in the to temper and strengthen their weapons. These smiths can also infuse the weapons with one of the game's various elements, which make the weapon's normal strikes and select special moves more effective against certain enemies.[8]

The various dungeons and overworld maps tended to be small in size, which compensates for the extremely high encounter rate. On average, in a dungeon/overworld, fights begin every three to five seconds of movement (slightly more frequent while running). By playing through both chapters with a single character (not including load times), total game length is roughly 20–25 hours."
