Today is the D-Day and for three days in Tokyo for all arcade lovers.

We could gather all the news coming from this show here (?):

-Death Smiles; http://cave-gameshow.cocolog-nifty.com/ ... _bb99.html
-Otodemius;
and perhaps others surprises

Would be nice if us european & western shumps (whom dont understand a word of japanese) could see some specific detailed info on what shump titles Cave are presenting for 2008 ie; screen shots, artwork designs. if you can post that stuff, that would be helpful.

Each game worth mentioning here already has their own thread.

I'm actually working on a write up about Deathsmiles from a friend of mine who was at the show earlier today. It seems pretty interesting at least (1 button to shoot left, the other to shoot right, and then a final one for "magic" usage). Its a bit "tame" in his words, but the difficulty did spike towards the third stage.

just viewed youtube link of japan arcade show. Deathsmiles, unusual shump title but looks good in action. Raiden4 looks the same with slightly different firepower action with the purple weapon.

There's some Kiki KaiKai looking shmup by Sega (look towards the bottom):

The Kiki Kai Kai-esque shmup is Mamonoro by G.Rev and Gulti. There's another discussion on it on the forums.

That's Mamonoro from G.Rev!

I've been posting pretty much everything I can find on my blog.
http://www.arcade-renaissance.com/searc ... %20Line-up

This includes links to all the Famitsu, Dengeki, Gpara, and Game Watch articles and YouTube videos.

Its not the best source I know, but I'm trying to keep on top of stuff through a friend that I have at the show.

Yep. As per me above... each game worth mentioning at the show already has it's own dedicated thread.

I wonder if we london shumpers will see any of these titles at either next month PREVIEW 08 Show (at london Novotel/hammersmith) or next january at the big ATEI 08 Show (at london Earls Court). its a shame i cant speak a word of japanese because i could possibly hook up Cave with a uk distributor/operator (ie: Deith Leisure or Electrocoin ltd) and have cave titles on their stands.

When it comes to the Sega published games (Mamonoro and Illvelo), neither were on the Preview shows list.

Unfortunately not; I think he is saying that even though Sega publish Mamonoro and Illvelo they don't have them on the UK list...

Cave is distrbuted by AMI in Japan but they don't seem to distribute in the west - who would they sell to thats the thing? There are so few arcades over here.

Still worth a try.

Sega have some cool arcades in London.

My thoughts exactly. we have Raiden4 at london/trocadero with a few older shumps titles. if the sega route fails, ill try Deith Leisure (coin up distributor) as i know Mr Leon Deith from way back when i tested a shump title for the pc market

Do they have Raiden IV at Troc? Must have missed it last time, amid all the Filipino kids shouting at my girlfriend. But anyway, thanks for your pro-activity in trying to get new Japanese STG's into London!
