Some months ago Cave announced they were polishing Deathsmiles’ visuals for the Xbox 360 version. The spit and shine looks great even though Deathsmiles is still walled in by a skeletal border.
Don’t like the new graphics? Fine. You can play Deathsmiles without them in regular mode. Or play Deathsmiles: Mega Black Label, the latest version of Deathsmiles coming to arcades, without them. Deathsmiles has lots of options and all of them are in English too. Don’t take English menus as a sign that Deathsmiles is going to get released over here. Cave’s PS2 games have English menus too and none of them got an international release. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen with Deathsmiles.
