Looks kinda cool but ill probably pass thanks :/Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 09:12 AM
No thanks you. This has asia written all over it^^Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 09:15 AM
@2 Are you surprised? The game was developed by a Japanese developer. They should just make Japanese releases region free. There was really no point in making Espgaluda II and Mushi Futari 1.5 RF and not the others. :/Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 09:17 AM
While I probably won't buy this, its still always a nice welcome to see more "japanese" games being released in EU too.Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 09:21 AM
@4 I'll agree with that. Altho Im gonna swerve this, doesnt look like my type of thing =/Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 09:28 AM
Nice! i love good challenges..Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 09:28 AM
Wonder why they picked only Death Smiles, prob because it wasn't a region free release I guess. Excellent news tho. Hopefully we'll get a limited edition version too.Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 09:44 AM
Good ol' Rising Star does it again!Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 09:48 AM
I know a lot of you are saying that you're not going to pick up the game cause it looks shit, but this game is surprisingly a lot of fun.Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 09:53 AM
This game is bound to give you a seizure at 3am in a pitch black room.Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 09:56 AM
i'm interested, i already was when this game has been released only in Japan to be honest.. We'll see!Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 10:34 AM
YES!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 10:37 AM
@12: So happy too :-) I'm a shmup fan, and I wish they could release more games in EU in the future...Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 10:48 AM
Not played only number 2, which was pretty good. Personally CAVE's best for me is Ketsui or DoDonPachi ...Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 01:30 PM
Hope it doesn't have a separate achievement list. Otherwise I'm going to have to buy it lol.Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 04:25 PM
Day 1 buy for me ^_^Thursday, October 28, 2010 @ 06:11 PM
Wasn't the MegaBlack version already on the US release?Friday, October 29, 2010 @ 04:33 AM
Awesome. I'll be pre-ordering for sure. If EU shmup fans show solid support for this title perhaps Rising Star will localize and release others.Friday, October 29, 2010 @ 05:02 AM
@9, I'm with you. Loved this game. It's a great sidescrolling shmup.Friday, October 29, 2010 @ 05:30 AM
sweet, it's about time more of this type of game made it over here currently gutted that the release date for raiden fighters aces dropped from being today to march next year, no fair, wanted shmup for birthday.... espgaluda 2 too expensive many thanks to rising star, i wish your company wellFriday, October 29, 2010 @ 09:15 AM
Oh my, finally. Better get day 1 as it's probably gonna be fairly hard to find afterwards.Friday, October 29, 2010 @ 12:36 PM
Cool, looks like a good shmup!Saturday, October 30, 2010 @ 02:14 AM
Hell yeah... about time too. Next to Ketsui, this comes in a close 2nd in best shmups ever made. Plus the characters are like extremely sexy, yet completely innocent looking at the same time. Plus you can play as Sakura in this release :-D Loving itWednesday, November 03, 2010 @ 07:33 AM
sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!Saturday, December 04, 2010 @ 03:14 PM
Mega Black Label isn't exclusive to Europe; it was DLC in Japan and included on the disc of the North American version.

Frenetic side-scrolling shoot 'em up Deathsmiles is being brought to Europe courtesy of Rising Star Games who has partnered with developer CAVE. The game will be getting its first EU showing at the London MCM Expo this month.
Originally released in the arcades back in October 2007, Deathsmiles has a unique left and right shooting mechanic that sees you surrounded by enemies and subjected to gunfire from both ends of the screen. Deathsmiles also has three different game modes, including the original arcade version and an Xbox 360 conversion. Then there's two-player co-op, which enables you to tackle the game with a friend either in local play or online via Xbox Live.
Additionally, Deathsmiles has various difficulty levels for veterans and newbies alike, as well as the Europe only Mega Black Label pack, which offers an expanded version of the game with an additional stage, an extra playable character and a range of special features.
Deathsmiles is pencilled in for an early-2011 release.
