Hi guys, I had my first bash on this game the other day, was really delighted by it all. Picked it up at Christmas for like a tenner, but my gaming monitor then packed up. Got a new one now, and back on XBL, so had a good go on DS. I actually didn't realise there was a full 2d Cave game on the pack! I just saw the 3d shot on the back, and I must have just seen like a clip of the 3d mode on Youtube, and just thought the game was some kind of console only makeover. But nope, there's loads of content on there, and all the screen options are fantastic.
It did seem way less punishing than the PS2 DDP DOJ, from just the few plays I've had so far, but no doubt once you get into it seriously, it will be rock lol

Can't wait to flip the new telly now, and play DDP~R. Really hoping this Raiden game gets a shot on PAL Xbox as well. Buying games like this in like 2011/12, off a UK shop shelf is a great feeling, after all the years of importing (customs fees, waiting ages etc., power converters). Hyped! Xbox 360 = the new Dreamcast? ;)

3D mode? Deathsmiles has never had a 3D mode. You might have seen a video of Deathsmiles 2X though.

Yeah, it was kinda like this one that left me cold: http://youtu.be/-Yuu8ho1BEI
Thankfully on the physical pack there is a full, 'hardcore' 2d sprite shooter, which I've been very impressed with so far. Like a side-scrolling Gunbird 2, albeit with unique back and forth directional shots!
