Starting to look clear that the reason the LE isn't region free is that they tried to put a region lock on it last minute when Aksys started expressing interest in Deathsmiles.

shitty. Well, maybe not if this means aksys has worked something out with Cave for the future. Which sucks less

Funniest thing about this blog post are "fan" reactions.

I think it's hilarious that people are trying to make everyone who cares about Cave games buy "Espgaluda II" so it will "show Cave that people around the world want to get their games" and at the same time it "would change their decision about releasing all their future games as region locked".

Like it would change anything. If there is a publisher interested in their game, Cave will go for it and region lock it - money is money.

Yeah, it's a good sign. It probably means they've got stuff in the works with Aksys beyond just Deathsmiles. Or it could mean that the Aksys/Deathsmiles deal just made them greedy and nothing is in the works and nothing else will get localized. Entirely possible looking at their history.

Nobody even likes that game though. It's supposed to be pretty boring.

My ESPGaluda II order from PA shipped. Should have it in about 3 days.

Maybe they are counting on more interest in those kind of shooters (with otomedius) due to Death Smiles US release?

My ESPGaluda II copy will be shipping tomorrow, because NCSX had some delays (so I won't see it till Monday - Tuesday). Should have ordered it from PA.

:/
That remains to be seen because it sounds like they might have pulled that bullshit about not shipping stuff in the order it was pre-ordered. And if you don't get the first print, you don't get the OST.

What did you end up paying on it with shipping and tax from NCSX?

Another wonderful example Kotaku scrambling its facts/not aware of an in-joke, or at least conveying it to the reader...

Forgot to mention that Deathsmiles II Hell's Merry Christmas is coming out for the 360 on May 27th (my birthday). I think I'll pass on this one. I kind of like the cover though:



Glitter, anime goth lolis, crushed snowman, what's not to like?


And here's the Ketsui cover art:



Apparently straight from a flyer, but all the art for Ketsui was awful. I like it better than the Ketsui DS cover though.
