Both places have had preorders up for months, for both the LE and SE. Not sure why you can't find it, but if it takes me 3 seconds to find it off google, it shouldn't be too hard for you. And yes, the date is May 27th.

Oh my EOJ you are 100 percent right, for some reason on their internal site searches I was getting nothing. Don't I feel silly.

EOJ

I think if you internally search those sites for "Deathsmiles" rather than "Death smiles", you'll get no results.

New cave blog post from Asada. He says DSIIX's master is complete, and has past the testing phase. All we have to do now is wait for the release day.

He also reveals they removed the slight input lag in the arcade version, making the X360 version better than the arcade version. Having played in the arcade I did notice sometimes I'd press a bomb button and it seemed like I got robbed (like it didn't activate as fast as it should have), but other than that I didn't notice lag. Anyway, I think it's really nice the gameplay will be as tight as possible now.

It comes with the following telephone card illustrated by Inoue.

Looks like the LE cover didn't get changed that much -- only the logo placement seems different from the preliminary picture that was posted a while ago.

lmagus

Which is a pity, because this and this covers are better than the LE cover. Since one is the RE cover, the other should be used for the LE.

Elixir

I'm really surprised Junya didn't make a tereka of Lei considering that's his favourite character.

adverse

Matsuri version just sold out in like 15 minutes lol  :laugh:

brentsg

I'll never understand the phone card thing.

Plasmo

Is the telephone card a joke or fake? I can't even tell anymore, but this just looks too ridiculous...

New Cave blog post by Asada:

He says they've received so many preorders, they're shipping ~30,000 copies of the game (SE & LE combined) by the release date, their biggest initial shipment yet.

Lolis + 3D seems the way to go for the future.  :-\

I feel like lost in the past...

This game is the bee's knees. Just two more weeks until I can play it again.  Can't wait! :)

If this gets a cheaper release I'll probably get it. I'm holding out for their next 2 arcade ports(I'm kind of low on cash). If the first DS does good do ya think that the 2nd could be successful here(in the states)?

New promo vid up on the official site:

Once again no footage of Arcade mode, which is the only mode I care about!

Also, the final box art (logo placement is different (and better) than before):

well, I'm satisfied with that score for a Bullet Hell shmup~
especially when you consider that Famitsu is kinda hard on Bullet Hells.

The only thing that's not appealing to me regarding this game is the monitor orientation. I never play DeathSmiles now because of that. I just play TATE games. :D I guess I'll have to hook my 360 up to my LCD monitor when this comes out.

That's my current dilemma Emphatic... The kids, every time they want to play a horizontal, I have been lazy to switch the Egret II's display and unskrew the ground/change up the plastic bezel and therefore just hook the xbox up to a lcd instead. But not having a stick, whereas the ls-32s are stationary in the cab...seems like I'm going to have to do this chore more often than not now with this release. What a chore. Anyways, I think this game looks great despite the 3d. I laughed so hard at the opening with the ojiisan lying there looking dead and the evil santa going "bye, bye!"

You have a point there. I guess I have no excuse on this one.

A final appeal from Junya Inoue for us all to buy DSIIX:



Kau ga yoi ("Buying [it] is good").

Pics of the LE (Play-Asia is shipping the game out today):

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-br-49-en-70-3r7d.html

Looks like it comes in the same type of box as the Futari LE.

They also tested it and confirm it's region-locked to Japan, though we already knew that.
