Japanese arcade game 'DeathSmiles' being ported to Xbox 360

[Zeus]

DeathSmiles, a horizontal side scrolling shoot 'em up arcade game by Japanese developer Cave, is being ported to the Xbox 360 and will be released on disc. It is being reworked in high-definition and it is rumored that the limited edition version of the game will come with a faceplate. According to a recent issue of Famitsu, the game is 60% done and will be released in Spring 2009. Some believe that the work Cave are doing to improve the game suggests they are hoping to get the game approved for release outside of Japan. A video of the game in action is available in the forums.

Yeah starwave your not kidding. That faceplate is bad ass. I'm not much for shooters so I hope you can get the faceplate seperate from the game. Gamestop will have to be used if it isn't :eek:
