Posted by John as Shmups

Here’s good news to shmup fanatics: Cave is bringing Gothic Lolita arcade shmup Death Smiles to the Xbox 360, coming only to Japanese Xbox 360 owners to be exact. Death Smiles may not as insane as other games by Cave, this shmup does put a nice spin on the horizontal shooter by letting players shoot objects coming in from the right and the left. Death Smiles arrives in two editions: A ¥7140 (US$70) regular edition and a ¥9240 Limited Edition one. The Limited Edition version comes in a special box designed by Junya Inoue, who did the character work for Death Smiles as well as other shooters like BATSUGUN. A special soundtrack CD is thrown in the Limited Edition version. Cave is currently 60 percent until completely done with the development of the Xbox 360 version. Death Smiles is slated for a release in Spring 2009 in Japan.
