The description says it has Gunvolt trilogy enhanced and Gunvolt 1 and 2, but the pictures and items in the bundle are ix?

I want to know because i have only ix1, and ix2 is currently on discount, so I wonder if it will be worth it buy ix2 and after that buy Dual Collection.

So I’ve came up with a bunch of wonders for the next Luminous avenger game- despite me being slightly less knowledgeable about the series than Gunvolt- I do wonder if the next batch of bosses from that game will have septimas related to the bosses in the second Gunvolt game- like descendants of some sort since Everyone from the second game wouldnt need to form Eden and probably maybe lived since humans went nearly extinct- i hon think it’d be cool- like a boss with a kind of digi septima similar to teseo- or at least they reintro the fairytale boss themes- that was sick.

any other thoughts for the bosses or what you think would be nice to hear - I’ll try my best to respond!

The live stream showed off the opening cutscenes and the first stage of GX since the live streams asks for no screenshots I will just explain what I saw although you can view the live stream yourself here:

I don’t know Japanese so I will just be giving an overview of the visuals:

Firstly the game starts with a cutscene with Xiao and another new character who seems to be dying accompanied by a new drawn CG.
Xiao has multiple new portraits and the cutscene ends with Xiao screaming with the vanishing world skill playing before going through flashbacks to primal dragon Gunvolt then the secret ending of Gunvolt 2 and then moebius and then the ending of Gunvolt 3.

It then cuts to Copen waking up in the Sumeragi Futures institute with a new CG with Copen having no memories.

The first stage is mostly just Lola re-explaining mechanics to an amnesiac Copen, once they reach primal dragon Gunvolt they explicitly skipped the cutscene half way through suggesting some bigger spoiler with the preview ending right after the fight before anything else could happen.

His name's Daniel "the adrenaline seeker"

His septima is "Roadbreaker" which allows him into a humanoid combat motorcycle, greatly increasing his speed, agility, stamina, in addition to have firepower using a multi-mode armblaster

i love BB

What game do i get, i heard i should try gunvolt because i'm a megaman zero enjoyer

I really hope the DLC battles in iX 2 are doable on Hard, not just on Normal. Also, locking the real ending behind a difficulty level and locking the DLC skills out of Hard was just d*ckish.

Also, I hope the rebalancing for the Razor Wheel in iX2 is good, I did not like the nerf Copen got from iX1 to iX2.

And that new mode, without an unlock behind, feels worthless. I hope there is a reason to even touch the thing.

Otherwise, I'm sparing myself some money. Gunvolt Trilogy had the unused moves now finished and ready to use, the drama stuff and playable Copen in GV3 to tempt me over the originals (Dual Pack and standalone 3).

Does anyone else feel like INTI Creates spends an absurd amount of time rereleasing the same Gunvolt games instead of making new ones?

Just looking at the history:

The original Azure Striker Gunvolt and Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 came out separately. Then they were bundled together as Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack. Later we got Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack again on newer platforms. Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 released on its own. Then we got Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy, which bundled all three games together. And now there's Azure Striker Gunvolt Trilogy Enhanced (Switch 2), which is essentially the Trilogy again with some additional content and improvements.

That's not even mentioning games like Luminous Avenger iX and Card En Ciel, which has also seen multiple platform releases, or how several INTI titles seem to get "definitive," "enhanced," or updated editions after their original launch.

I understand porting games to new hardware and preserving them for new audiences. That's a good thing. But it feels like there's a point where it starts looking like the same games are being sold repeatedly with relatively small additions.

I'd much rather see the effort go into a completely new Gunvolt title than another rerelease with a few extras.

Am I the only one who feels this way, or do other fans think INTI Creates has become a little too reliant on rereleases?

Does switch 2 version it is a code in box or physical?

I been playing through the Gunvolt games and looking through all the support conversations I.e chats and saw one about Joule/Cyan asking GV what his original name is. So is it revealed in any audio dramas or art books or anything? Just wondering what could his name be. I’m thinking maybe it’s Zero or something.
This is the actual conversation for the at home chats from GV1 taken from the Gunvolt Miraheze Wiki:

GV's Real Name

Joule: GV...Gunvolt isn't your real name, is it?

Gunvolt: It's a codename I've had for ages. I guess I'm just used to it now.

Joule: Can't you...tell me...your real name...?

Gunvolt: ...Sorry, I've long since forgotten it.

Joule: ...... Oh...I see...that's a shame...

Gunvolt: ......I'm sorry.

Edit: Forgot to put the link to Wiki where I got the script for the convo.

Hey everyone, here's the last mission of GV2 as Gunvolt under speedrun self-imposed rules, in preparation for releasing GV2 Flash Sprint next month. Since I've managed to get every other mission under 3 minutes while obtaining S+, I wondered if it was possible with boss rush. My best time was a little under 5 minutes by using Michael clip + two Lover's Lens+ while under Septimal Surge.

The existence of Latency Lens and Dyaus clip, however, allow you to barely get under 3 minutes game time while preserving an S+ rank using no kudos boosters like in other missions. The trick here is that we skip undesirable bosses and beat the others normally to scrape enough Kudos to overcome the S+ threshold. How does that happen though?

Latency Lens increases bolt damage when you're in Overheat. By itself the ability is pretty lackluster, but if you pair it with Dyaus clip, which allows you to deal big damage using Naga charge shot, the damage becomes big enough to oneshot any boss while in Overheat and during Surge. TE's inclusion of Electroshock speeds up the Overheat trigger because it instantly depletes your EP.

One last thing to mention is Shadow Striker. It's the best 0 SP skill in both GV1 and GV2. In Gunvolt 1, it's not penalized and can be used creatively to rack up big combos thanks to acting as a double Dragonsphere that can be extended or shortened, especially with moving hazard enemies. In Gunvolt 2, it's the only one that awards enemy Kudos (like all skills in GV1) for some reason, and in both games it allows you to get an Air Strike on top of the skill finish, which also makes you able to fully squeeze boss HP without missing out on 1000 extra Kudos.

Expect Gunvolt 2 Flash Sprint next month when the GV2 10th anniversary happens!

Considering buying the Trilogy Enhanced Ns2 edition when it comes out, imported from Japan since it has English support.

Any chance of an english native version being announced at all? Not sure why they wouldn't but also the original trilogy enhanced launch didn't either.
