Death Smiles: Countdown to North America Invasion

Discuss... looks like original to me. Not sure what to think of that owl though.

Looks interesting, more of a serious tone perhaps, and not so "silly happy goofy" like some recent Yagawa stuff. Surely this is an Ikeda game, so that's a good thing.

This'll likely be Cave's October/November-ish release. Glad to see it's likely not a sequel, but an entirely new franchise.

The eyes... DOJ-ish, no? It's the closest thing to Joker Jun we've seen since Progear.

Probably a stupid question (since you posted this in shmups chat), but since it doesn´t look much like one: Is this going to be a shmup?

And I agree, a darker more serious tone is a good thing here. :)

Now that's totally a Harry Potter shmup. C'mon, owls, long staircases with pictures...

And the girl is obviously Ginny. Red hair is a dead giveaway.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Well, she has angels wings. Pentagram on the left. Definitely some heaven & hell stuff. This is a cosplay gold mine though.

This looks TOTALLY FUCKING SWEET!!!!!!

No, but seriously, this looks to be exactly what I've been waiting for:

1) A new, original Ikeda game.

2) A dark, gothic theme.

...and the best:

3) Junya Inoue design! :shock: (It looks so much like his style, it's gotta be him, right? Right? Pleeeease!?)


Gotta start saving for the PCB now, expect a for-sale thread soon. :lol:

I don't want to be a spoilsport, but that's a david's star, not a pentagram... :P

Of course, it would not be the first time that an item of Japanese pop culture puts david's star into a place that would be more logical to have a pentagram in its place.

Is that Abe Lincoln in the background? He must be the TLB.

Joker Jun didn't do the art for DOJ I thought.

He was on his way out the door. He did do the DOJ cover though. I saw a print of it very recently and saw his signature. Can't remember which one it was... maybe the arcade poster.

Okay, so you want anime guys in your games?

Actually, I think I knew that on some level.

Partially in an effort not to make this another "it's just you thread".

It's definitely not you
