Death Smiles 2 [Cave 2009]

Kind of weird though. It was pretty obvious that DS2 was going to be Christmas-themed, but since DS = Halloween and had an October release, I thought maybe DS2 = Christmas ∴ December release.

That scarf is adorable; I'd buy one for the right price. (...Which it won't be, of course.)

Why was this obvious??? Did I miss something?

Anyways as long as the enemies aren't giant presents or flying candy canes I think this will be cool.

Christmas theme … Then I want to see Santa Clause as last true boss (conditions: no miss, no bomb @ lvl 9999).

Would that be Tyrannosanta?

Lol, the subtitle in Japanese literally reads "Death Smiles 2: Hell's merry Christmas."

Just the ending of DSMBL. (video that also shows hilariously awful Tyrannosatan bug)

In summary, an evil Santa Claus-esque character shows up at the very end followed by "to be continued". SinHo gets his wish I guess?

The posted image seems to imply they are going for a brighter, cuter look this time.

Jesus Christ, that pic of DS2 looks stomach-churningly horrible. I hope there`ll be a new "raizing" game as well.

I wouldn't mind a new Raizing-style game done as a spiritual successor to Battle Bakraid. The DS2 artwork so far looks nice.

Sidearms is pretty good- I liked it on the TG-16. Having seen DS compared to this game makes me want 360 DS even more, esp. considering that you'll be able to get the MBL patch as DLC later.

DS 2 is running on Vewlix at AOU, so i guess it's at least 31khz.

Vewlix are 15kHz capable, yes? But let's hope that like Atomiswave/NAOMI, the new hardware is capable of outputting both modes. AND FRIGGIN' STEREO SOUND!

Aren't Viewlix cabs HD?

Yes, 720p native resolution.

No pre-show pictures this time.Well coveted project.Hmm

If the game is built for HD only,Cave (and even more Fujita/Legend etc)will loose western fans for a while because a new HD cab+an expensive new game release=a lot of cash.Anyway,"officially",for Cave western markets aren't a relevant issue.

Besides,720P output would let us expect probable console ports in future.

dunno, could just be because most companies have shut down production of CRT-based cabs now in japan. and you don't really want scruffy ex-site cabs at a tradeshow to showcase your new game

If it is HD, which I still doubt, its not likely to be any more expensive and will hook up to a HDTV no problem. It'll also most likely support lower resolutions for older cabs.

would it mean that much extra hardware over SH3 to output a 31khz signal?

SuperPang · Post by **SuperPang** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 5:09 pm

SH-4 could couldn't it?

Why would changing the main processor affect the ability of the system to output at 31kHz or not?
