Yeah, interpreting that way would be better than the other possible interpretation.

Note the characters in the picture have blank expressions. Also, since they photoshopped in another character to that original picture, looks like you'll have 2 characters to choose from in this one.

I'm just hoping it's not a hori like the early rumor said!! Give me another Ikeda vert and I'll be happy.

I think the logo's awesome!

Okay, CIT, you think that logo is awesome, but MMP's artwork is horrible. You're one weird dude.

The Death Smiles logo has a great campy horror/halloween look too it. What's there not to like about that.

MMPs characters on the other hand are totally disproportionate and look like they suffer from phocomelia. Definitely nothing to get moë about there.

Why is the D and the A filled with brown... something?

Someone make sure I'm not missing something:

There are no other shooters appearing at the show... not even bad Naomi ones that have somehow popped up over the years.

There's still a possibility of Grev's new game making an appearance at the AM Show. They said they'd announce their game at the end of August.

I think it's a door. Like a door from those medieval castles.

Burning != wanking

wtf, it's like they just used a purple stroke for the ENTIRE logo. purple sticks out so horribly and doesn't blend in.

... oh wait, Macaw beat me to the stroke comment.

I thought Death Smiles (as a noun, verb) was a fucking badass title until I saw the poster.

die all

That logo really sucks ass. I don't even care about art that much, but still even I can see how bad that logo is.

And I keep reading "Deaths Miles" instead of "Death Smiles" when I look at it

GaijinPunch, you don't like Namiki's music? I think it's a work of genius

From a musical standpoint, I think most game music is really unimaginative. Namiki's music is game music with all capital letters an a few exclamation points.
