Ketsui Deathtiny ~ Bonds Hells ~ (or just "Ketsui" from here on out) is a port of CAVE's 2003 shmup masterpiece. It was previous only available via the Japan-only PS3 and 360 ports (which regularly go for $50+ used), or digitally on some storefronts. This version appears to also include the IKD "arrange mode" that was only playable for one day in 2007 and again in 2018 during the Cave Matsuri event. The BGM "Virt Arrange" is an alternative soundtrack. This version also includes a 48-page booklet.
M2ShotTriggers will be handling this port. A shmup port by M2 is the Rolls-Royce treatment. They did phenomenal jobs with Battle Garegga, Sorcer Striker, and Dangun Feveron.

Appears to be available for pre-order via Play-Asia but I would wait for official box art first.
Official M2 website and source of news.
This is a hard-as-nails bullet hell shmup, but I'd encourage anyone with a passing interest in the genre to give Ketsui a try.
As an aside, I love that name "Deathtiny". I image Mike Tyson as the title announcer.
