NCS Product Synopsis
Update: February 25, 2002
«©NCSX» Espgaluda II is a vertically scrolling shooter but firing away isn't the only gist of the game. There's also gems to be collected. Lots of them which burst out of enemies when they're destroyed. Players will also find themselves weaving and dodging a maze of bullets which spiral and scatter throughout the screen. By strategizing and going into three types of Kakusei mode, players can maximize the score multiplier, throw up an auto-barrier, and affect bullet velocity. Game modes in the Xbox 360 port include an Xbox mode, a Novice mode, Arcade mode, and an Arrange mode for a bit of variation on the horizontal shooting action. In the sequel, a girl named Asagi joins the cast of Ageha and Tateha from the original Espgaluda as a playable hero. She's a scrawny runt at the outset of the game but watch how she does when she's at maximum power. Pass the title screen and the options that appear are as follows: » Play

» Exit If you've never played Espgaluda II, it might be worthwhile to visit the Tutorial section which contains multiple helpful primers for the "Black Label," "Xbox 360," and "Arrange" modes of Espgaluda II. If you're willing to rotate your monitor on its side, Espgaluda II features a "TATE" or vertical viewing aspect which is closer to the arcade view than the default "YOKO" horizontal viewing aspect.

NCS Product Synopsis
Update: February 24, 2010
«©NCSX» With the imminent arrival of Espgaluda II, please be aware that Espgaluda II Black Label Limited Edition is NOT Region-Free. It will not play on USA or European Xbox 360 consoles. Only the Regular Edition of the game is Region-Free. Update: February 18, 2010
Cave's Makoto Asada has posted an entry on the Cave Official Blog verifying the region-free nature of the Regular Edition of Espgaluda II Black Label: http://cave-game.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2010/02/thank-you.html 2010年2月18日 (木) Thank you
Thank you for the warm messages from all over the world.
Espgaluda II Black Label Normal Edition is region free.
But I'm afraid new games after Espgaluda II Black Label won't be region free.
I assure you that Espgaluda II Black Label Normal Edition will be the last region free game for the time being. Cave
