I don't know, one of the few good points about Rising Star Games is that they do try and keep things are close to the original Japanese release as possible. In particular for Fragile Dreams they were going to go ignore XSEEDs US voices and go for a straight text translation with Japanese voices, until they decided just to throw both on the disc.iconoclast said:I wouldn't get your hopes up for that. It probably just means they're taking the version Cave designed for Aksys and releasing it as is. It would be nice if it had the correct slowdown though, I'm just a pessimist.

The European edition will be a collectible in its own right, offering content not available in either of the Japanese or US editions, product manager Yen Hau told MCV.
It is something unique to Europe, which will make collectors very happy. We expect incredibly good figures at retail.
The nature of the exclusive European content will be announced in the New Year.
Thursday 16th December 2010: Rising Star Games today revealed its Deathsmiles Deluxe Edition exclusive to PAL territories. The pack features the complete version of the game, including the Mega Black Label DLC, a desktop accessory pack and the original soundtrack.
Featuring three different game modes: Arcade (original Arcade game), Xbox 360 (Arcade conversion) and Version 1.1 (conversion designed specifically for the Xbox 360), Deathsmiles also features a two-player co-op mode, where players can take up the challenge with a friend at home or via Xbox LIVE. With difficulty options on all modes catering for newcomers and veterans, the PAL version of the game also includes the Mega Black Label pack: an expanded version of the game with a range of special features, an additional stage and an extra playable character.
The official soundtrack and desktop accessory pack was release in Japan as a single offering, retailing at the equivalent of over £25, and was never included in the Japanese and US versions of the game. Combined with a CD featuring 23 tracks, the desktop accessory pack offers fans the ability to kit out their PC for a full Deathsmiles experience.
The Deluxe edition is completely exclusive to PAL. said Martin Defries, managing director, Rising Star Games. Different versions have been released in the US and Asia but Rising Star Games has managed secure a unique version, the ultimate Deathsmiles experience.

I'd say you will enjoy Deathsmiles if you enjoyed Espgaluda II. Deathsmiles is a more accessible title. It scrolls horizontally and has a different scoring system, but it should be a pretty enjoyable title as well.OMG Aero said:I haven't really paid attention to this game at all and only heard about it because Rising Star is publishing it, but is this basically like Espgaluda on the iPhone?

Hello CAVE, I know that Death Smiles is coming to Europe by Rising Star Games but I have a question.
Will it have the same slowdowns as the Japanese version or is it like the USA one?
CAVE
At the request of Rising Star Games, we have altered the slowdowns in the European release to be closer to the Japanese version. We have also removed heavy accents from certain character's dialogues.

It can also make it better to the general public because it'll make the game easier. Besides, it's not like the general public cares about these games anyways.Chiaroscuro said:A patch to make the game worse in the general public eyes (by adding slowdown)?

HMV seems to be the cheapest out of those.
Tranced Shadow said:Actually, ShopTo is cheaper (best to pay with PayPal if you're going with them though - their credit card security is historically poor).
