Interview w/ Ikeda on the DS blog. Here's my translation:
Q: Have you bought an Xbox 360?
A: No. I am interested in Demon's Souls though (for the PS3).
Q: What were you in charge of on the Deathsmiles port?
A: I made the arrange mode (ver 1.1), did fine-tuning/adjustments, and programmed the slowdown in the Xbox 360 mode and ver 1.1 mode.
Q: Is there anything you'd personally like to remake for the X360?
A: Daifukkatsu.
Q: We get a lot of emails from people who would like a Progear port. What can you say to them?
A: It isn't owned by our company, so unfortunately, a port is impossible.
Q: What do you think about being called "IKD"?
A: It'll soon fade out. I'll leave the rest to Mr. Ichimura.
Well, since he's in charge of the slowdown, my expectations for this port are high again. Hope he also worked on MBL's slowdown, if he didn't, then I'll be a bit worried about that. Also, he didn't program the slowdown on the arcade mode, which is weird (unless this mode is just emulated).
