CAVE has shut down their official arcade websites
Hey,
It seems like CAVE deleted all their official arcade websites when they released their new company website a few days ago, deleting almost all traces of them being an arcade orientated developer.
I would love to keep them online in an easy format for everyone, so I managed to download archived version of the following game websites.
Some of them miss a few images/pages and also some stage maps though, so not really complete version.
Akai Katana: https://archive.cavedb.com/akaikatana
Dodonpachi Dai Ou Jou: https://archive.cavedb.com/daioujo
Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu: https://archive.cavedb.com/daifukkatsu

These will be linked from the arcade section on https://cavedb.com too, but wanted to check with you guys if anyone has copies of the official websites with the missing content?
If anyone has complete versions of the websites stored offline, please let me know and I'll happily host them.

Good on you Limpan. What's their new website?
I miss when they released new shmups
Glad I caught the years of xbox360 ports, that was a once in a lifetime era.

I guess that's it for now then.
They still have this site but it seems focused on their mobile ports.

Re: CAVE has shut down their official arcade websites
and how many people were actually visiting? if you're keeping this alive for 5 people I can understand the decision.
They have all the stuff they need in their office, right

Was there ever a website for Akai Katana Shin for Nesica?
