Lemme recapture my vids. You should be able to hear something. The boss music sounds like "The Monster Mash". Not sure if you British guys (or young yanks for that matter) will know what that is.

A fool and his money were soon parted.

Congrats! I feel maximum High Score participation in this one!

Yeah, I think they still do the Transylvania Twist over there.

I caught a glimpse of the poster. It's not the standard one w/ Windia & Casper. It has them, plus Sakyura and another unkonwn character (with devil type wings). They are all stuck in a "cage" with a decomposing arm (no body) hanging from it. The style is Inoue's "cutesy" style you can see in Otogi Matsuri. No nose, innocent look, that type of stuff.

Time to go shopping.
For the poster, that is. I'm not insane enough to buy a kit on release. ^_-

For anyone interested - they actually got it out when they said they would.

"Just want to inform you that we will received the pcb on Sat (because tomorrow is holiday in HK)"

I'll post impressions when it arrives next week.

For bloodflowers,

Looking forward to your detailed shmup review/personal thoughts about this newest Cave produced Death Smiles PCB kit... ^_~

And some pics of your DS PCB + arcade paperworks would be nice as well..... ^_~

I think a few people pre-ordered it. I know of at least one other member here that did!

Went and put a credit in today. Didn't do so hot. It's still not a super hard game. The guy before me got well into stage 5 I believe (or maybe it was 4). Haven't dug through 2ch yet to figure out the scoring mechanic (other than the obvious). Quality stuff though.

The pop is pretty much the same as the AM Show one (has a mobile phone game ad). I'm not so big on the background, but I'll live.

That poster would look a lot nicer if it wasn't for the shitty typography.
Quite possibly the worst title design since Donpachi.
I'm still buying one though. Joker Jun artwork. <3

I sold off some more AES carts to pay for my order on the game. I'm a sucker I know.

naah, i could give up my social life and buy it straight off my paycheck.. but i dont wanna do that either, if im gonna splash over two grand on a game some lesser ones will just have to lay down their lives.. simple PCB-collector economics

As much as I'm a "frothing with demand" Inoue fan, I'm not feeling this poster. The fairy girl seems uninspired somehow, and the little devil girl showing us her chaunch is kinda troubling.
