Deathsmiles PAL release (DATED: Feb 18th)

[spadgy]

...that's according to Eurogamer Sweden:

Can anybody translate?

EDIT: By the way - I got that link from Cave's official Twitter feed, so it seems the news is true.

[Chiaroscuro]

In 2011 by Rising Star Games, that is far I can I understand, but there is not much more.

[Reaper gI]

That's good Rising Star seem to be competant so far, and appear to listen to requests for games.
Was who I'd expect for a european release, hopefully they'll do some of the extras like Aksys did.

[emphatic]

In before the lock.

[Van_Artic]

fuck yes

[ケツイ]

Sweet News indeed
I hope for an European release of Ketsui too

Yeah - I've got a contact or two at Rising star, and it is them. I'm chasing 100% confirmation now. Should also mean I get access to some lovely hi-res press assets for us (that might not be available elsewhere) via Gamespress.

In before the lock.

Why a lock? Becuase of the US thread? I couldn't spot another PAL one...

(Laying myself up for being proved wrong aren't I!).

[Domino]

The lolis are coming the lolis are coming!

[Weak Boson]

And to think I was so close to buying a Japanese 360...

This is amazing news, though, can't wait.

[Daigohji]

I wept manly tears of joy. I seriously thought I'd never get to play DeathSmiles. I just hope this is for early 2011, rather than being over a year away.

[z0mbie90]

It's good news to hear. Just hope it sales well so they maybe get the idea of release more titles.

[sven666]

it says it will be released very early in 2011 and that is coming from asada himself.

they also have abig interview with Makoto Asada, Yukihiro Masaki and Jon Rodgers coming up later...

ed: it also says the DS port has sold over 50000 copies so far.. not bad!!

[phrenzee]

AWESOME!

Let's hope it will be the first of many euro-releases

Will it be region free? (ducks)

[Reaper gI]

Will it be region free? (ducks)

The US one wasn't and this is by a smaller company, who region lock all their other games. There'd also be no point, it's out in the other two regions anyway.

[Zeron]

Good to hear about damn time.

[Skykid]

This is going to be the ballsed up US version. Worth knowing that before you get excited right?

[dan76]

Great news... BUT, yeah, it'll be the screwed U.S. version won't it? Would it be worth emailing them - at least making them aware of the differences and the obvious prefered version???

[juggernaut]

Damn good news

[Nick420]

Great news...So happy now just need Ketsui and Dai Fukatsu and a jap 360 is no longer required. Even tho i kno that will never happen
Whats the differences between the us and jap versions?

[BulletMagnet]

Whats the differences between the us and jap versions?

Short version: US release has most of the DLC on-disc (so does the "Platinum" Japanese release, IIRC), but is missing some of the original slowdown.

[Zeron]

but is missing some of the original slowdown.

Ugh why do people do this well its better then nothing. Even though in many ways its not Arcade perfect.

Is that confirmed? Rising Star have done their own translations before. Flower, Sun and Rain is one, and I'm sure there was another (but I can't remember what).

To all European players: you do NOT want the the US translations. You do not want your release to be based off the US release in any way. You want to have your localization be based solely off the Japanese release.

Is it that bad?

I guess we have to start bitching at RSG

No, not confirmed but almost guaranteed. The localisation exists, Cave did it themselves based on the specification they wanted the west to see (which is a slowdown free DS on speed), and as far as Rising Star are concerned, how would we all know any different?

Very unlikely they'll stick the slowdown back in for the EU release, but fingers crossed nonetheless.

Just to confirm, are you talking about the US localisation that saw release, or some other internal Cave localisation?

I only ask as when I spoke to Cave for that interview I did they mentioned how relevant they felt Deathsmiles was for Europe, so (if you are refering to some internal loc) I'm developing a pipe dream that maybe Cave have some special version planned for PAL. However, they may have been referring to the entire West rather than just Europe, meaning we get the US version.

Wishful thinking I know!

Very.

The US release was optimised by Cave, not by Aksys. They made the changes, pulled out all the necessary slowdown, even did the text translation, and then sent it to Aksys who published it.

The chances of Rising Star publishing the exact same version is a 99% certainty, unless we see some flying muchi pork.
