How do you activate the true boss? Is it only on the second loop?

Spoiler: It's automatic, after the fake "final" boss (Jitterbug). There's no second loop with DeathSmiles.

Unfortunately my DS stick was "delayed" from Amazon. Anybody else get one from there?

Edit: Okay, they sent me another email an hour later and the stick is on its way too. I guess they wanted to send the game and stick separately. :roll:

Only managed to get to Jitterbug once. The impressions of the achievements indicated that he was the first loop boss and that thing was the second loop boss, guess not tho..

Hi. I've played this game before as I'm residing in Japan right now. I just haven't beaten it/gotten that far to see the boss.

Yep, sorry I guess it was a bit ambiguous to call Tyrranosatan a TLB - that's my fault. However, he is one :P

I`m no DS fan but I`ve had a couple of hours playing the 360 version and it is much smoother than the PCB.

Put it this way, if there were two 360 versions released on the same day, this one (with all these extras) and a version that was identical to the PCB, I would choose the former.

I think people that don`t know any different from the PCB and think they like Cave will love this.

It`s good but no Ketsui.

Have fun!

Cheers.

Where do you guys "get it"? Doesn't it come out tomorrow? I thought Japanese are extremely careful and never brake the official release date. I ordered it online a while ago but just for fun I'll stop by Messe Sanoh tomorrow.

there are a number of places which will break street dates, not hard to find really, several places on the toyoko line do it, a few places in aki occassionally do , a few other places. Only issue i've had in 9 years has been with big name nintendo or online only games.

and yeah, comes out tomorrow - heading to work via the games store.

Based on one of the promo vids, I'd guess it adds voice acting to the story segments.

@Chi_Ryu - Thanks for the translation, wish I'd have noticed it sooner

ジルバラード is the name of the spirit world in Deathsmiles :)

As near as I can tell, those paired achievements are whether you choose to go home or stay in the choice in each character's ending.
