Other shmup junkies may be interested in knowing that Deathsmiles US limited edition is available for pre-order on Amazon. It has a listed release date of late June.

[Tempest]

I got to play this at one of the MCGE meetings and it was awesome. I can't wait to pick this up.

Traditional anime shooter. The theme is witches and warlocks.

I am a HUGE fan of Strategic RPGs...and boobs.

Yeah I've been looking at Agarest War. From what I can tell it's Shining Force with half naked school girls who appear to be closet lesbians.

Actually that sounds good to me.

Sonic R brought that game to the meeting if am correct and it was very sweet looking but did not play it because i was busy playing Wizard of Wor on Mame lol.

I wish the 360 was more dependable because i would pick up one for a game like this.

Okay, it took me about a year but after 2 back to back red ringed xbox's, buying Deathsmiles twice, and actually getting a few hours to play something I finally played the "hell" out of this game and it is simply amazing. Fable 3 has been put on hold indefinetily until I become the master of shumps, man I love this game Tempting to pick up the region free Futari now but I need to get my time in on Deathsmiles first, A+ shooter

It does sound awesome, but the battle system in RAW is one of the worst I've seen in a Strat RPG. The whole thing is about arranging your characters into certain formations on the grid in order to chain attacks, but if one character simply turns to the side, the whole chain can be broken. And enemies and player-characters all move at the same time, so if the enemy you planned on hitting moves out of range, all that arranging you just did was for naught...

I still need to go back and finish Agarest War, I think I was about halfway through the 3rd gen.
Unfortunately nonner242, the game isn't nearly as sexually charged as the packaging would have you believe.
If it had been I might have finished it already!! LOL
They are releasing a PS3 version with a different selection of swag in the package....

Deathsmiles rules. I may fire that up this weekend. I still have the faceplate on one of my 360's!

lol...bummer!

Ive had Death Smiles since mid last year now, I love that game. Picked it up at a Ma & Pa CD/Game store at a decent used price.
Its the most fun I had with a shooter since...Mars Matrix or Galactic Attack!

[wccw mark]

Death Smiles is one of my favorite games for xbox 360.i just picked it up used about a month ago used and i really love the game.i would of like to have got the faceplate too.

[moycon]

Played Deathsmiles again tonight. What a great title!! I really enjoyed this package as a whole.
The game, the faceplate, the soundtrack. I only wish all games offered so much.

That's funny... I thought just the other day how I need to go back and really give this one some serious time, and this thread gets bumped around the same time. Maybe I'll get on that tomorrow...

[keilbaca]

The game is... alright.

They removed the in game lag that is in the arcade Deathsmiles, so it is actually harder than the arcade itself. The JP version of Deathsmiles does not have the lag removal.

I preordered the game the very day they announced it was going to be released.

The gamestop that I ordered it from only had one copy in... the one I preordered. The guy was like what is this game? I explained it and he just gave me a weird look. Whatever, I enjoy hard games.

I also painted my X360 before Deathsmiles came out... I didn't actually see the faceplate before I got the game, so I guessed on the purple when I painted it.

Turns out, the purple is a perfect match.

I have it... well an acquired copy... I plan on buying it very soon, I finally have some expendable money and they deserve it.

Mushi Futari is about 5x harder than Deathsmiles... and that's on Maniac. We're not talking Ultra...

This is me playing. The music is happy hardcore, its not the in game music. Its very similar to Deathsmiles style of music.
