[AC] Ketsui ~Kizuna Jigokutachi~

[icycalm]

London's Casino Arcade, located in Goodge Street, near Tottenham Court Road in the city's West End, was up until recently the only arcade in the Western world reported to have a Ketsui cab. According to Select Button poster Mr Peckerston, Ketsui is now gone, and has been replaced with a Pink Sweets PCB, presumably in the same cabinet.

Although Great Britain, Europe, and the Western world are all currently mourning the loss of Ketsui, I still have to give kudos to Casino Arcade's owner for replacing one hardcore game with an even more hardcore one. So if you live in the area or are planning a trip to London soon, keep this in mind. It may be your only chance to play this awesome game in the current decade.

Pink Sweets seems like an odd choice. I heard it wasn't very popular, I do see quite a few people on the shmups forum that like it though. Espgaluda2, Death Smiles or Futari seem like better choices. Pink Sweets always looked like a sweet game to me anyways I still want to try it. Didn't Yuzo Koshiro work on the soundtrack?

I thought I heard somewhere that some Casino in Vegas had Ketsui at one point.

I'm just curios as to whether it would be cheaper to get Ketsui online or to get a plane ticket to Japan. It's about 350USD for the PCB probably around 200USD for a Super Gun. Plane tickets are very expensive too though and you'd haft to stay somewhere in Japan, But you would get to try some of the other un-ported Cave shmups as well.

I think $500 is the lowest Ketsui's price ever got. Now it goes for around $1,000.
