Okay so Klon is the name of the new developer, and Sakura Flamingo is the record label KHDN have been using to release some sweet new soundtracks? I gotta get a hold of these somehow.

Edit: It seems Amazon JP is selling them.

No wait, Sakura Flamingo Laboratory is the... Brand/development team established within Klon?

Bit of a Raystorm type viewpoint going on there, at least we know it's not a carbon copy of the arcade version.

I think compatible with Stereopsis of 3DS is a good point of view RayStorm type.
"it's not a carbon copy of the arcade version" is very good.
Because KetsuiDS was a good original arrangement.
As the type of arrangement, Karous3DS is looks like a "Made in Wario"(Wario Ware, Inc)-type.
purpose: "run away from the enemy", "beat boss", "beat enemy 80%over"...

Oh, so it's similar to Bangai-O's challenge structure? Hmm... I hope they add a traditional caravan stage at the very least.

Doesn't sound like it'll have online leaderboards, either, just Streetpass.

Wario Ware style? So lots of short levels? Maybe something like Kokuga then?

It seems to correspond to the online leaderboards via Streetpass.
However, I'm worried about Streetpass whether to success in Karous3DS.
And element "unlock gallery" depending it is in Streetpass. I seem to like this should not be dependent on the Streetpass. It's element should be completed only software alone. I sent a Fax to Klon this problem.

Maybe it would be shorter than the level Kokuga. Time progress bar(like a Illvelo) is displayed on the screen shots.

Klon is the cutest name for a company. Sounds like something a cute anime character would say all the time. Klon~

On a somewhat related note, wasn't the milestone game Illvelo mostly made up of odd wario-ware style short shooting segments? I never played it, but watched some trippy youtube videos where the player kept teleporting into 30 second long shooting challenges complete with new graphics, music, enemies, before teleporting back to the main area.

It looked confusing as hell :)

Ah. Cheers. I just hope it still has a '1CC-able' structure. I'm guessing not, and thinking it will offer a Kokuga/Dodonpachi Maximum style structure.

Yes and no; as you say, there are lots and lots of little mini-areas scattered about (and IIRC the keys you get for successfully completing them are crucial for scoring), but as you also note they're all hidden within the "main" stages which you could progress through as in a "normal" shmup if you wanted to. So yeah, there are lots of disjointed bits to tool around in, but they're bound together in a way that "individual areas only" titles aren't.

You need all the keys from those mini stages to reach the TLB.

As long as we are on the subject of Karous...

So apparently there is a TLB in original Karous... is there a different ending if you reach the TLB and defeat it? I still don't know where all the milestone logos are/how to get them to appear, so that's a ways off for me.

Only this image:

The locations of the M logos are:
1st stage: in the second half of the stage, when you fly over the city, in front of a building. use Shoot it to reveal it.
2nd stage: just before fighting the boss. Use Shoot it to reveal it.
3rd stage: after defeating the mid boss, in front of a factory on the left side of the screen. Use Sword to reveal it.
4th stage: at the beginning of the stage, on the right side of the railway. Use Shield to reveal it.
5th stage: on the left side at the beginning of the stage. Use Shield to reveal it.

You need to play on hard mode to fight the TLB.

The nonexistent story to Karous is so strange. Thanks for the milestone logo tips. What makes hard mode harder than normal? More hp for the bosses? I never noticed much of a difference, so I only play on hard. My biggest difficulty is in killing the end of level maid robot boss in stage 4, - I know initially you have to kill small parts of it, but neither a leveled up sword or leveled up shot seem to do significant damage and I almost always time out before it dies.
