Aaaaaaaaaaaand we still don't have anywhere to play Ibara Kuro :P
Let's hope it sticks...
I had hope when they started pushing games to steam but then they stopped.
Anyway, DS is a nice game, a little too much sensitive to proper slowdown implementation to be able to get the TTLB, but it's a step in the right direction.

Yeah, hoping it releases on PC down the line at least >_<
Deathsmiles has one of the metal boss names ever.
Apparently it contains:
Deathsmiles
-Arcade
-Version 1.1
-Normal
Deathsmiles Mega Black Label
-Arcade
-Version 1.1
-Normal
Deathsmiles II
-Arcade
-Deathsmiles IIX
-Arrange
and "New Functions" whatever that means. Very generous package.
Hope they're doing more of the 360 era arcade games. Hell, gimme all the cave shmups, I'll buy them again lol
Mobile games. Dunno if any of them have been a hit though

Cave shmups don't sell that well iirc from media create threads back in the day. Probably back burner projects for M2.
Any Cave ports are auto buys for me for the most part but it'll be interesting to see how slowdown is handled here.
Their third generation hardware is pretty enigmatic and they surely designed their games around the performance bottlenecks they ran into, which can have pretty big implications when it comes to the difficulty curve. Seeing a developer nail down the slowdown in a repeatable way and release a series of accurate ports (not demanding perfection) would be awesome, but I'll just be happy to get a good port of Ibara+Ibara Kuro some day

Here's hoping for a physical release, though I'll go digital if need be. Either way, it's great to see Cave shooters being ported to the current gen - here's hoping more are en route.
Wow, at least they were being honest in what they were publishing.
Only reason I remember this game is the back cover
fucking awesome. day one.
also awesome that M2 Shottriggers can hopefully get some more deserving Cave titles hehehehe
the loli pandering is the least appealing part of CAVE stuff. Dodonpachi series does it since Dai-Ou-Jou as well (though not as egregious as these games imho)

Add me to the list hoping for other 360 era cave stuff to get ports. Mushihime-sama futari next, pls cave?
Most likely going to get the switch version of this as well, with the horizontal style don't need my flipgrid for tate.

I'm probably in the minority on this one, but I'd love to see Guwange at some point.
Yes but will there be a preorder bonus where I can get a swappable cover for my console that I'll be too embarrassed to use?
Sure, why not. I never got around to playing the original but played 2X. Just glad more Cave shmups are slowly getting ported to current...well, almost last-gen consoles, but glad it's still happening.

Only reason I remember the game was for the LE which contained a faceplace for the 360.

city connection port has me hesitant. will have to see how it compares to pc
it will already be on series s/x if you have the 360 port
lol i still use that faceplate and some of the looks i've gotten have been pricelessOnly reason I remember the game was for the LE which contained a faceplace for the 360.
That's cool, don't have the second one, the first one is fun. Might get it.
Although I'm still mad at Cave for not updating more than half of their games on iOS. Bug Princess/2 and a few others are unplayable since iOS 11 since they didn't update for 64 bit. They did update Death Smiles and added controller support at least (even if the controller support is bare bones as can be).

Yeah definitely agree the Ibara PS2 port was wack. Arika totally showed Taito up with their 'Luda and DOJ ports on PS2.
Taito/ SE/ Cave and the powers that be, save this lost Ibara on PS2 next, and package its Arrange Mode/ Black Label Mode onto modern systems. It wasn't the best port and deserves better.
City Connection has ported many of their published games on PC. They ported the Psykio games.
Hopefully they do this with Deathsmiles.
I have a feeling that they're going to sell more on Switch than on either Xbox One & PS4 simply because the audience for genres like Shoot-'Em-Ups are bigger on there.
Still just ports, they are releasing a new version of Saidaioujou for EXA I think.
ESP RA.DE was their latest console port by M2 I think.
I wonder what this means for the existing standalone digital release of 1 since that was a different publisher, is that going to get pulled now? It'd be really nice to have both games on my mini arcade cabinet PC rather than needing to hook a PS4/Switch up to the monitor and control panel externally just for IIX. I guess as a worst case scenario I could get a secondary Switch dock inside there and dock when I need to, I'll probably get this on Switch regardless since it's going to be way more convenient than having to plug the old 360 in for IIX

Just give me all Cave shooters as separate releases at 10 buck a pop or a collection at full price. I can't justify paying €40-60 for 1-2 games and I want them all so it's expensive AND clutters up my Home Screen.
That would be nice, but this is Cave we're talking about.
I wish II was coming to PC but I'll happily buy these on either PS4 or Switch. Maybe both.
Cave shmups are just so damn high quality and a real joy to play.

Oh bummer. Digital only on Xbox?
I'd like to have them on disc. I have Deathsmiles on 360 on disc andDeathsmiles II (or maybe IIX?) edit: apparently "Deathsmiles2 X" for 360 from the Marketplace. Wish I could buy a US copy of that game in physical form.
I guess I'll just import a physical PS4 release, maybe Switch...
