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. There's also a special soundtrack CD, too. The game is slated for Spring 2009. More » -

Deathsmiles Going HD For Xbox 360
Cave's side-scrolling loligoth shooter Deathsmiles — which I lovingly credit-fed at a Shibuya arcade last week — is coming to the Xbox 360 this Spring, at least in Japan. That's obviously great news to anyone needing a fix of girls shooting things in 2D, but Cave is doing the release one better with a sexy, high-def upgrade on the visuals. More »

Xbox 360, Cave Shoot 'Em Up, Up, Up
There's no doubt. Your official Japanese shoot 'em up console is the Xbox 360. Shuffled away in the Microsoft booth, there are short lines for two very solid Cave shooters: DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou Black Label Extra and Ketsui. Both games are getting Xbox 360 ports, and there's even a Hori arcade stick for Ketsui and thus really making the floor demo experience. Obviously, since it's the first Ketsui stage, it's hard to get an in-depth comparison between the port and the arcade version. However, when I asked a representative from the company that did the port, I was told that it was a straight-up arcade port. More »

DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou Black Label Coming To Xbox 360 This December?
If a Google cache is to be believed, add another bullet hell shooter to the Xbox 360 shmup heaven. DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou Black Label for the Xbox 360 has popped up on Japanese retail site AmiAmi. Earlier this year, Famitsu brought word that a port of the arcade game would appear on Xbox LIVE Arcade, but Microsoft ended up rejecting the game, stating: "We are going to cut down faithful arcade ports." This now rumored disc version has been dated December 25th by AmiAmi. More »

Gothic Lolita Shooter Death Smiles Getting Xbox 360 Version
Shooter specialty developer Cave is bringing its Gothic Lolita arcade shmup Death Smiles to the Xbox 360. The game is a scrolling horizontal shooter — something of a rarity for developer Cave. While not as insane as other Cave offerings, the game does put a nice spin on the horizontal shooter by having players shooting objects that are coming in from the right and the left. Cave is currently 60 percent finished with development of the Xbox 360 version, and the game is slated for a Spring 2009 release in Japan. More »

Character Illustrations For Cave's New Shooting Game
Yep, seems we'll be getting another arcade shooter from Cave — and boy, do we love them Cave shmups. While the developer's last completely new shooter IP was the horizontal side-scroller, Golthic Lolita-infused Death Smiles, it's next bullet hell title is more moe. Otaku artist POP was wrangled in to provide the character illustration. Maybe in the vein of Cave's Muchi Muchi Pork, minus the buxom fat girls? Anyway, that's a sample right up there. Take a look. Cute! More »

Cave Shmups Coming to Xbox 360
Shooter specialty developer Cave is bringing two of its arcade shooters to the Xbox 360: DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou Black Label and Ketsui. The games will be out this year and ported by 5pb. Makes sense for the games to get Xbox 360 ports and that console does seem to be favorite among hardcore Japanese otaku — not to mention it'll give Cave a crack at the US market. With these titles, plus IKARUGA and Rez, the Xbox 360 seems to be shoot'em up console. More »

The $400 Arcade Game... Cardboard? Oh Yes.
Developer Cave has churned out some amazing shmups. Amazingly hard and amazingly great. Have a gander at MUSHIHIME SAMA FUTARI and DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou. Truly stuff for the utterly devoted. People who are so into Cave shmups that they'd pay ¥44,500 (US $430) for a cardboard box! This isn't just any old cardboard box, but a Cave cardboard box which has Cave's Muromachi era shooter Guwange written on the outside. It also has DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou handwritten on it as well. Meaning? This cardboard box was used to send out a Guwange arcade board in 1999 and then presumably a DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou one in 2002. It's not just cardboard! It's Cave cardboard, dammit! Not sure I'd pay four large for it, but I do understand. When I met Cave's resident genius Tsuneki Ikeda, I asked for his autograph, and I never do that. More »

Cosplayers Needed to Promote Game
TV ads? Bah! Print advertisements? Meh! Cosplayers? Oh yes. Forget traditional game advertising, the best way to promote your game is cosplayers. Arcade game maker Cave is calling on Japanese costume players to help promote its upcoming, supposedly horizontal shooter Death Lolita. (Love that title!) How will cosplayers promote the game? Will Gothic Lolitas only promote this game? Dunno! But if they do, they are bound to be mopey and glum. Well, save for that girl in the red (above). She's smiling. What the hell is her problem?

Clip: Ketsui Final Doom Battle
During the demo, players had 120 minutes to face off against Doom with a single ship and no bombs before the demo was locked due to a time out. There were noticeable changes to Doom's attack patterns as well as the game speed that helped alter the game to fit the DS's resolution and screen size, but according to the participants at the event, the arcade feeling that the game provided was still excellent.

AOU 2007: Shooting And Porky Girls
This past week, the coin-op AOU2007 Amusement Expo stormed through Japan. Held at Chiba' Makuhari Messe, the even featured new arcade games from companies like Konami, Sega, Taito Bandai Namco and Capcom — Plus a fair share of smaller companies. While a good chunk of these games will never see Western release, a few of them very well could end up in arcades abroad or as console ports. Throughout the night, we'll be posting some more pics and a report from the event. To whet your appetite, hit the jump for the buxom moe fatty bullet-hell Muchi Muchi Pork from Cave. The shooter features things like "Lard Attack" and to recharge their "Lard Gauge," players collect little pigs that appear when enemies are destroyed. Gallery and clips ahoy! More »
