Sure, it was very pretty, but the game play felt overly complicated (at that time) and I didn&#8217;t put much time into trying to like it. Then a couple of years later as I had gotten bitten badly by the CAVE bug, I had a go at it again, this time playing the PCB at a friends shmup meet, and it felt just wonderful. Fast forward to the day of the XBLA release of <strong>Guwange<\/strong>. I installed it and started it, but was shocked when this 4:3 arcade game could not be displayed full screen on my 4:3 arcade monitor! The first thing I do when installing a new 360 game is fine tune the picture so it will look as good as possible using the game&#8217;s controls only to allow for a no fuss changing of game discs, but I had to give up, frustrated that CAVE had dropped the ball on this with their first XBLA outing. I have never once played a credit on this title from start to finish, as the fact that they didn&#8217;t put enough time into the port to allow for a full screen experience at the release put me off completely.<\/p>\n<p>CAVE has since put out a pretty crude patch that allows us to set the game to full screen on a 4:3 screen with their WIDE MODE on\/off setting (they since used this on their double pack release of <strong>Muchi Muchi Pork<\/strong> \/ <strong>Pink Sweets<\/strong> as well). It&#8217;s better than nothing, but feels really half-assed to be frank. It&#8217;s a shame that they allow their 360 department so much slack. :\/ Perhaps someday I will get the urge to get into <strong>Guwange<\/strong>, but I&#8217;ll keep playing their finest ports instead, like <strong>ESPGALUDA II<\/strong> or <strong>Do-Donpachi Dai-Fukkatsu\/Black Label<\/strong>. I still recommend this title, as the game itself is wonderful.<\/p>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\" class=\"mcePaste\" style=\"overflow: hidden; position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 454px; width: 1px; height: 1px;\">\n<h1 style=\"display: block;\">Webbdesigner s\u00f6kes &#8211; omg\u00e5ende<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I started to explore the wonderful world of emulation, Guwange was a title that somehow passed by queitly.
