DeathSmiles Deluxe Edition Coming In February
European Shoot ‘Em Up fans won’t have to wait much longer to be able to get hold of Deathsmiles, as Rising Star Games have just announced that the Deluxe Edition of the title will be hitting our shores on the 18th of February.
Featuring three different game modes: Arcade (original Arcade game), Xbox 360 (Arcade conversion) and Version 1.1 (conversion designed specifically for the Xbox 360), Deathsmiles also features a two-player co-op mode, where players can take up the challenge with a friend at home or via Xbox LIVE.
Until now, Schmup fans have only been able to get hold of DeathSmiles by going through the expensive process of importing, but it seems there will finally be a more simple way to play the title.
With difficulty options on all modes catering for newcomers and veterans, the PAL version of the game also includes the Mega Black Label pack: an expanded version of the game with a range of special features, an additional stage and an extra playable character.
Bespoke to the PAL market, the Deluxe package includes the official Deathsmiles soundtrack and desktop accessory pack. The soundtrack and desktop accessory pack were not included in the Japanese or US versions of the game and only released separately in Japan at the equivalent of over £25. The soundtrack features 23 tracks and the desktop accessory pack lets fans kit out their PC with exclusive Deathsmiles materials.
“At Rising Star Games we’ve been competing to get the highest score on Deathsmiles. With the release date next month I’m looking forward to opening up the scoreboard so shmup fans can get online and compete with their friends and peers.” said Martin Defries, managing director, Rising Star Games. “We’re delighted to work with CAVE, they really are the legends of the shoot-em-up genre. It’s a real privilege to bring the Deluxe Edition of Deathsmiles to the to the PAL market on 18th of February.
