Probably not.

Play.com now lists this for release on 25 march 2011. They should probably just put "when it's ready" instead :|

I wonder what's taking so long?

So just before financial year end.

At least that release date should be adhered to.

I have this for my JP console and thought I'd show some support and pre-ordered but you know what?

Pre-order cancelled and fuck you Tradewest.

This is not the way to treat consumers that are eager to support you in a niche market.

I understand some of you don't have a choice and hope it all works out but I'm done.

Duke Nukem Forever actually seems to have a plausible chance of release now that it's under the wing of the guys that did BioShock....

Nonetheless, I'm disappointed. I was looking forward to being able to play it without emulation issues by Christmas.

Maybe someone could ask directly to Tradewest Games during 'Paris Games Week' (French video game exhibition 27th~31th of October / Paris)...

Amazon still says 27th october, at £14.91, but if I cancelled and reordered it would be £17.99, so I'm going to keep it ordered even though saving 3 quid is hardly a dealbreaker (I dont expect it any time soon).

This is the main reason I don't legitimately own many commercial shmups - I can't play them if they're not PAL and sold in Britain minimum.

Indeed, and that's ignoring the MA15+ rating limit. And particularly in my town we get the least amount of shmups compared to the rest (though we have After Burner Climax in an arcade machine and the Raiden games). Now you know how I feel.

What version will the PAL release be based on? The US and Japanese arcade release had a bit diffent style when it came to scoring and the fact that the US version loops.


Oh look tomorrow is the so called "release" let's see if its 2011 or not...


I checked the "hottest" preorders on Amazon Uk and I was dissapointed to find out that Zumba Fitness-Kinect is higher on the list.....

If you're referring to Amazon Zeron, the game is now back to 'Available for pre-order'

Oh how nice of them to have it released the same month as Death Smiles,

I got the next week off and I have nothing to do, damn them at Tradewest games, I was really expecting to play the damn games.
I was screwed over like this during last summer too.

Do you know the Deathsmiles PAL release date then?!

I don't know where I got this from, but in my mind RFA PAL is out January...

I have done some research and it turns out that JoWooD is the publisher and TRADEWEST is just the distributer.


Turns out we were bashing the wrong guys.

It's right but JoWooD never informed about RFA...

And maybe you should also "bash" Success and Seibu Kaihatsu Inc... :mrgreen:

There are so many companies behind publishing this game in PAL yet they cant even give us a exact release date.

@Zeron : last official information from Tradewest is 'End of November release'...

So, still 14 days in November to wait the release or another information...But of course no exact date release is not a good sign...

I think something is blocked somewhere... :mrgreen:
