Scheduled for an April 2002 release, DoDonPachi 3 marks a return to the shooter genre for Cave after the sucess of their recent 'Storm of Progear' Looks great eh? Be also sure to check out the video footage at Symphony of Bullets.. it looks even more impressive in action!


Two ships are available: Narrow Laser
(Red) & Wide Shot (Green).


Woo! Now this is more like it! Cave obviously must have taken one quick peek at IGS's decidedly lack-lustre effort BeeStorm: DoDonPachi2 and were thus spurred on to create the game Pachi 2 SHOULD have been :) Some new features should be available such as an all new 'Hyper Attack' system.. more info as I find it!


Take a gander at that firepower..
Madness..sheer madness! Drool! Gimme!!

Graphics seem more colourful & cartoony than previous DonPachi games, more in line with
Cave's recent
Progear.. but hopefully no less well designed and detailed.
