A few years back, I was in a Vietnamese arcade and played some game. It was one of the greatest spaceship shooters I had ever played. After years, I finally realized that it was DONPACHI! Or maybe DODONPACHI!
This looks sweet as hell. I like how in games like this you basically take out the entire population of a planet single handedly. Thanks for playing this game! bye!
I agree with you: you need to review more bullet hells/arcade style shooters! On June 29th, Deathsmiles will be released for the 360. It's another bullet hell, although it's horizontal like R-Type rather than vertical. Still, it's made by the same company as DonPachi. If you can, review it when it comes out! That would really make my day!
Do Dodonpachi Resurrection when its out this November... You'll love it... PS: The grapics on that game in the Xbox360 are looking mighty sweet.. Like the darken tone of the whole game..
@VanofArtic2 Officially... Dai ou Jou is the 2nd.. Dodonpachi is the 1st and Fukkatsu aka Resurrection in US is the third.. Cant wait till the 3rd one comes out on the xbox360 this november...
@andy7666 maybe its another shooter then? cos I heard somewhere that you can reverse the enemys bullets of a certain colour and make them return and shoot at the enemys that fired them at you, (does that make sense? I`m not sure I explained that too well!)
hi people and Classic Game Room , does anyone know what brand and model of Video Camera he uses to film Consoles and their accessories ?......the quality is outstanding
@AxiomofDiscord no.. that´s a shame isn´t ? I´ve always preferred racing and fighting games... but i´ll look for Radiant Silvergun on ebay right away !!!
@SuperTacoMan100 Touhou is a 2d Doujin game, its basically a shooter, except its with "maids" instead of planes. they spawned a fighting game i believe. but as a shooter its bullets EVERYWHERE On the screen.
@Sentinal6 u should look up this, the sequal, dodonpachi, esp ra.de, basicly any shmup made by cave, and gunstar heroes is a nice run and gun game by treashure.
there's also a third sequel for the PS2 called Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou you should review the lastest released games of the Cave company for the Xbox 360, like Mushihimesama Futari and Espgaluda 2 Black label which are region-free for USA and PAL consoles, there is also the incoming Deathsmiles published by Aksys and Donpachi is out now on the japanese playstation network, Cave is really the best shmup company in these years
Cave Shumups FTW! Mark check out the new Region Free Xbox 360 imports Mushihimesama Futari Ver 1.5 and Espgaluda II Black Label. Worth Checking out soon.
don't forget dodonpachi daioujou on the PS2. way slicker version of this that will kick your ass SO BAD but still manages to have that "just one more shot" mentality
@VanofArtic2 If you want to see a review of Cave's newest stuff, check out our channel. We've reviewed Mushihimesama Futari ver. 1.5 for the Xbox 360, and we've also reviewed ESP Galuda on the import PS2. Check them out and tell us what you think.
great video keep the reviews coming :D, getting bored of Shane Dawson Mike Buckley ray William Johnson and peter rails need my daily dose of classic game room ^_~
when it comes to shmups the ss is the best.but, as someone who has an n64 ps1 and ss i strongly feel that the ps1 is the best when it comes to the overall library.
@VanofArtic2 Donpachi - 1 Donpachi - 2 Dodonpachi - 3 / 1 Dai Ou Jou - 4 / 2 Resurrection - 5 / 3 I know.. But when it comes to knowingness... its the other one
@Gamefluesterer good reason,,, if u haqve some time swing by my channel and take a look at our review of donpachi,, let me know what u think.. i share with u my thoughts of the game
Man, I still watch these reviews before I purchase retro games. Thanks
Me too lol
To me this was the best era of game reviews with cgr and undertow it was wonderful.
I used to watch this video religiously back in 2010-11, foaming at the mouth to play Donpachi. I used to love CGR so much.
I definitely played metal slug more as a kid, but if I saw this at an arcade, I would play the shit out of it :D
The artwork for this game looks like the cover of Defenders of the Faith by Judas Priest
A few years back, I was in a Vietnamese arcade and played some game. It was one of the greatest spaceship shooters I had ever played. After years, I finally realized that it was DONPACHI! Or maybe DODONPACHI!
This looks sweet as hell. I like how in games like this you basically take out the entire population of a planet single handedly. Thanks for playing this game! bye!
The homage to tiger heli was incredible
Saturn had so many amazing shooters.

i actually found i have a copy of this in my garage
my memory is vague of playing it though =X
now just gotta find my sega
Do Dodonpachi Resurrection when its out this November...
You'll love it...
PS: The grapics on that game in the Xbox360 are looking mighty sweet..
Like the darken tone of the whole game..
@foxxthefox daioujou is the 4th, in the gallery mode of the PS2 port some images clearly say "Donpachi Episode 4"
@VanofArtic2 Officially... Dai ou Jou is the 2nd..
Dodonpachi is the 1st and Fukkatsu aka Resurrection in US is the third..
Cant wait till the 3rd one comes out on the xbox360 this november...

Love this game. Awesome review!
SWEET! I wanna see you review the region free 360 Cave games like Mushihimesama Futari and Espgulada or however it's spelt.
ow donpachi, pure genius, just like tthe sequals.
praise cave for there awesome shmups.
the blue plane is slower? neven noticed that...
I love Cave's games. Great gameplay, great aesthetics.
i thought the PC-Engine was the go-to system for shoot-em-ups
In fact, it is, especially for 16Bit era
The Saturn is the one for 32Bit era
hi people and Classic Game Room , does anyone know what brand and model of Video Camera he uses to film Consoles and their accessories ?......the quality is outstanding
i have DoDonPachi on my MAME arcade and it's awesome. i should check out this one.
@CyberPirate83
Any SNK fighting game ever made. They generally say "thank you."
@AxiomofDiscord no.. that´s a shame isn´t ? I´ve always preferred racing and fighting games... but i´ll look for Radiant Silvergun on ebay right away !!!
@SuperTacoMan100
Touhou is a 2d Doujin game, its basically a shooter, except its with "maids" instead of planes. they spawned a fighting game i believe. but as a shooter its bullets EVERYWHERE On the screen.
@rfratelli not even galatic attack? or Darius Gaiden ... :(
@Sentinal6 u should look up this, the sequal, dodonpachi, esp ra.de, basicly any shmup made by cave, and gunstar heroes is a nice run and gun game by treashure.
nice review! i own a saturn but never played any 2D shooter on it.... shame :(
I was listening to this game's music earlier today or maybe that of a later edition, I didn't know what kind of game it was, never seen it before
there's also a third sequel for the PS2 called Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou
you should review the lastest released games of the Cave company for the Xbox 360, like Mushihimesama Futari and Espgaluda 2 Black label which are region-free for USA and PAL consoles, there is also the incoming Deathsmiles published by Aksys
and Donpachi is out now on the japanese playstation network, Cave is really the best shmup company in these years
When is CGR going to review Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast?
Looks really good. The music could use some improvement, though.
Yeah, that's right! When was the last game that would tell you "thank you for playing"?
does this game have curtain fire from bosses?
Wow! I knew that CGR loves the space shooters... but... MY GOD he's very good at them!!
Theres a pretty decent freeware 2D shooter called warning forever. worth giving a try if only for the fact that it is free.
man, im glad I own a japanese Saturn, i have about 50 games for it
Hey, you think you might do a review on Trouble Witches NEO! for XBLA? It's a bullet hell shooter with (horribly) cheesy English dialogue.
Love this game, it's insanely hard towards the end
hmm? perhaps...I have that game, I will check it out tomorrow,
@cheetah672 the 1942 and the sequels are pretty damn good ones too
@GamingPalooza I have an American Saturn and have about 30 Japanese Saturn games, : )
you gotta do DodonPachi, you know you want to :P
@111random Touhou? What kind of name for a game is that?
Is this on the Wii Virtual Console?
The Music sound so epicly bad ass!!!!!!!!!!
This game is also on iPod and iPhones
Cave Shumups FTW! Mark check out the new Region Free Xbox 360 imports Mushihimesama Futari Ver 1.5 and Espgaluda II Black Label. Worth Checking out soon.
@DarkAvatar1313 haha, yeah...he should review Touhou Imperishable Night or Mountain of Faith
I would like to see CGR's reaction to one of one of the Touhou games, since he likes top down shooters.
don't forget dodonpachi daioujou on the PS2. way slicker version of this that will kick your ass SO BAD but still manages to have that "just one more shot" mentality
DoDonPachi on MAME is great... it has to be one of my favorite MAME games.
hi, Thanks for your reply but its not Ikaruga I own that game & anyway the bullets are black & white in Ikaruga not pink & blue,:-)
Once again... thank you for spending my money for me.
@VanofArtic2 If you want to see a review of Cave's newest stuff, check out our channel. We've reviewed Mushihimesama Futari ver. 1.5 for the Xbox 360, and we've also reviewed ESP Galuda on the import PS2. Check them out and tell us what you think.
Sega is releasing L.A. Machinegunner and it''s counter part AM2 arcade game on the Wii!!
As he says, the games eases you in. You only see the first three stages of the first loop in this review.
good stuff
Does it cut short? LOL
@SuperTacoMan100 I think he meant tenchu
And it also has the superior version of Kaitei Daisensou: In the Hunt
i need this game
@DarkAvatar1313
lol, Touhou
Great game! A CAVE masterpiece!
by the way, one week ago a Japanese player cleared the Death Label mode in PS2 Daioujou, after 7 years and five months of failures
oh hey it's Van Artic. The DFK 1.51 chad. I love your channel.
"Cheesy voice dialogue" ---> makes me want a cheese sandwich!!
Looks easy. :)
Great review.You should do one for Half life
Awsome!
great video keep the reviews coming :D, getting bored of Shane Dawson Mike Buckley ray William Johnson and peter rails need my daily dose of classic game room ^_~
"Bomber?"
He sounds so confused.
CAVE FTW! But DonDonPachi is more epic!!!^_^
its donpatch from bobobo :3
you are rediculisly good at this game
I miss "Jackal" and "Mr heli"!
Is Wheeljack narrating this game??
dodonpachi (arcade) + mame = win
its raiden look at the power up blocks same company same game different name
when it comes to shmups the ss is the best.but, as someone who has an n64 ps1 and ss i strongly feel that the ps1 is the best when it comes to the overall library.
REVIEW DODONPACHI RESSURRECTION it works on american consoles!!!
Flamethrowers...not check. :(
thankyou for playing this game... bye!
Nice game but very expensive
Sega POWERAH
Yes why I have 3 of them :D
This is not similation. Get ready to destoroy the enemy. Target for the weak points of f--kin' machine. Do your best you have ever done.
@VanofArtic2
Donpachi - 1
Donpachi - 2
Dodonpachi - 3 / 1
Dai Ou Jou - 4 / 2
Resurrection - 5 / 3
I know..
But when it comes to knowingness... its the other one
You want a real bullet hell shooter? Try a Touhou game like Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil.
Afaik, the PSX version for this shmup is superior lol.
@mannyichi Resurrection if far better...
but yeah...
Got a copy for $37
@Gamefluesterer good reason,,, if u haqve some time swing by my channel and take a look at our review of donpachi,, let me know what u think.. i share with u my thoughts of the game
Why buy a saturn to play donpachi when the playstation version is awesome?
👍👍👍
Die Hibachi!!!
Damn, I love these games but after checking ebay, i wouldn't spend my money on this.
@Gamefluesterer i liked the original better
Get the wife in on a game! Or does she hate your addiction?
And oh yeah, Nintendo does thank you when you finnish a Mario game.
Dang you can hold alota BOMBZ...too bad you cant have Lampoil or rope MMMMMMlol
It's totally pronounced Don Pach. Oh well.
