More recently, European publisher Rising Star Games has taken to localising some of CAVE's Xbox 360 [[ShootEmUp shoot]] [[BulletHell 'em ups]], so far including ''DeathSmiles'' and ''[=DoDonPachi=] Resurrection'' as well as the recently announced ''VideoGame/{{Akai Katana}}''. Their release of ''[=DoDonPachi=] Resurrection'' is also region-free for America Europe, meaning other non-Japanese fans can get in on the action.

* OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope: CAVE games have traditionally had a [[BlindIdiotTranslation poorly translated English]] legal warning, ending in the infamous sentence: "Violator and subject to severe penalties and will be prosecutedt to the full extent of the jam." Made even stranger by the fact that, in the case of [=DoDonPachi=], the rest of the [[http://www.heisanevilgenius.com/wackywiki/images/3/3e/Dodonpachi_warning.png legal warning]] is written in SurprisinglyGoodEnglish. Furthermore, when ''VideoGame/{{Mushihimesama}}'' received a Steam port, most of the warning was rewritten to remove the "for use in Japan only" lines ([[FunnyMoments replacing them with "for use on planet Earth only"]]), while that line [[GoodBadTranslation remained unaltered]], suggesting CAVE is leaving it in as a joke.

* HighDefinition: The Xbox 360 ports of ''Mushihime-sama Futari'', ''Espgaluda II'', and ''Deathsmiles'' are done in sweet, sweet HD, a big leap from their native 384x240 resolution. Of course, you can always switch to "Arcade" mode for all three ports if you're a purist.

* FollowTheLeader: The ShootEmUp genre was already was overflowing with games by the time the 90's came around. It took the DonPachi series to have many bullets on the ''Opponents''' sides rather than the Player's side to make the new subgenre that is BulletHell.

'''CAVE Co., Ltd.''' is a video game company formed in 1994, one of four companies that arose from the ashes of the bankrupt {{Toaplan}}. It is perhaps well-known for its line of arcade BulletHell [[ShootEmUp Shoot 'em Ups]], such as the ''VideoGame/DonPachi'' and ''VideoGame/{{Mushihimesama}}'' series.

* TankGoodness: To the point where the iOS version of ''{{Espgaluda}} II'' has the Achievement "One Less Tank in a Cave Game".

* ''Four-Wheel Drive Mini-Games'' (2011)

* NintendoHard: Though to CAVE's credit, their games tend to have only 5 or 6 stages (as opposed to the 8-12 stages of other shooters), and while patterns do get very difficult (especially on harder difficulties and second loops), enemies almost never fire off cheap-shot attacks (think ''VideoGame/{{Raiden}}''[='=]s [[DemonicSpiders sniper tanks]]). In short, the games are still very hard, but it's a "tough but fair" type of hard. Granted, this does not make them any less hard.
