Deathsmiles Magically Gets Stateside Release
By Spencer . January 15, 2010 . 6:01pm
imageFor the first time ever, a console port of a Cave shoot em up is being localized. Deathsmiles has been picked up for North America.
Deathsmiles is a horizontal shoot em up with a gothic lolita theme. In typical Cave style its heavy on bullets plus enemies attack from both sides. Japan got an Xbox 360 port last year with polished 3D models.
Unfortunately, we cant reveal the North American publisher, but as a Siliconera reader you know of them. They are keying some yummy script in their PCs right now.
