Arcade Classic DoDonPachi Receives An HD Makeover

Arcade Classic DoDonPachi Receives An HD Makeover

March 15, 2012
You could be forgiven for not having heard of DoDonPachi before. I can admit that it is something that has slipped by my radar in the past as well, but, according to Wikipedia, it has quite a pedigree behind it. The team behind DoDonPachi, CAVE, has actually released two titles for iOS previously. These are DoDonPachi Resurrection and DoDonPachi Blissful Death. Today, CAVE has released their latest title DoDonPachi Resurrection HD ($10.99). DoDonPachi Resurrection HD is a sequel to DoDonPachi Blissful Death and is an HD retelling of DoDonPachi Resurrection. So, what is DoDonPachi I hear you ask? The video below will show you what you can expect from DoDonPachi Resurrection HD, though please note this is actually a video of DoDonPachi Blissful Death: DoDonPachi Resurrection HD is a fast, frantic, arcade shooter that will really push your nerves to the limit, but it can be great fun. The game carries quite a heavy price tag for what it is, though the fact it's universal lessens the pain somewhat. DoDonPachi Resurrection HD features:
  • Two fully-featured game modes: Smartphone Mode, an exclusive adaptation tailored to the iPhone/iPad portable format, and Arcade Mode, a port of the arcade shooter classic
  • SM Scoring Mode - Get whipped by the SM Scoring System, built specifically for Smartphone Mode! Shift between "S" SLAUGHTER, and "M" MENACE modes! Use the Supreme Weapon of Annihilation "Hyper Cannon" to smash your way through the world of “Resurrection”!
  • BGM updated for smartphone mode! Original BGM for arcade mode included!
DoDonPachi Resurrection HD's feature list is topped off with the inclusion of Game Center and OpenFeint should you want to compete with your friends for the top score and compare achievements. Are you planning on picking up DoDonPachi Resurrection HD? Is there still a place for "retro" games of this style in modern gaming?
