Someone is selling Mushihimesama on my local marketplace. I know it is no longer in production or on the Switch estore. Is €55 worth it for this game? It is used of course.

Update: I see that it can be purchased new for 43 on different sites, so I suppose not…

@bbbhltz , it is my favourite CAVE game so far.

That said, personally I am not willing to pay that much for a STG (sorry). But I know others would and do pay even more for a PCB of it.

It is a very quality game and has several modes. If that is worth it for you, it's up to you.

Several other Cave games (and Crimzon Clover, which is not by Cave, but like a spiritual successor) have similar modes, so perhaps try one of those first.

I was thinking of getting it, trying it, and holding onto it to resell. But, someone might be able to talk the seller down. Judging by the other items they are selling, not just games, it looks like this person caught the “import stuff from abroad” bug and it now unloading loads of merch at rather high and prices. I’m not going to barter though since it is available on play-asia for less.

@bbbhltz so, what did you get in the end and what are your thoughts so far?

I’m tracking sales on dekudeals for the moment but I did get copies of Raiden IV (which is definitely something I enjoy), Ando Dunos II ( still can’t beat the boss rush to unlock the last levels) and GreyLancer.

I’ll probably pick up Strikers 1945 II this week since it is on sale.

I’m just patiently waiting and also considering grabbing some physical copies of games that I’ve seen for sale on local marketplaces (Sophstar and Mushihimesama).

@bbbhltz , some sweet choices. Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself 😸

I just grabbed Andro Dunos 2 digitally as well. It was just too good of a deal.
