Thanks Matt

I remember all that bollocks about the Death Smiles Ltd Edition, and that's still available. Still, a risk to wait incase, shock horror, this one really is limited

The thing is while its still available its only due to the +40% price gouging thats happened so soon after they claimed to be out of their pre-order allocation.

We have received many requests from our overseas users for region-free versions of our games.

"Death Smiles" was released only for Asia, but the region for "Mushi-hime sama Futari" has not been decided yet. I believe it will be decided around the time of Tokyo Game Show 2009.

We are very happy to have received so many e-mails from overseas.

Thank you.

Oooh so we could see Guwange then

Pleased to read his comment about region coding as well.

Fingers crossed we see future releases as region free.

They've mentioned they'll be looking for localization offers for DS at TGS so I doubt Futari will be region free if thats successful.

Well bugger me.

(How on earth did Feveron beat MMP?!)

[Soundwave]

Anybody else seen the LE Hori EX coming for release of Mushi??

Did anyone see how highly DS ranks in their Japanese profile? Pretty cool.

Whilst I'm sure it's a lovely stick to hold and to use, I'm not so mad on the colour or the art. It's not even an SE one either, bah!

[Atticus]

Very positive vibes coming from Cave there ... seems they're definietley feeling the love from the west at last.

That Futari stick looks fan made. Nasty.

Can't believe Pink Sweets rated so high in that poll ... an underrated gem it is.

[Pavey]

The black buttons and stick look horrific

The actual main colour is not too hot either.

Any news about European release for any cave games on XBOX 360. (or PS3 version of Cave games)

It is simply too expensive to import Japanese console and many Japanese games.

That stick is absolutely attrocious. Very dissapointing winner of the poll too. What a complete waste of time putting up an inferior version of a game that has been perfectly emulated for the best part of 10 years on MAME. And it will be inferior no matter what they do because the 360 can not output 240p. Still, despite all the disapointment, it's nice to see them finally acknowledge their Western fanbase.

Did anyone see how highly DS ranks in their Japanese profile? Pretty cool.

Yeah, have you also seen how highly Otomedius G is ranked too? Total joke. That game is average at best.

They've mentioned they'll be looking for localization offers for DS at TGS so I doubt Futari will be region free if thats successful.

DS is really the worst candidate they could have chosen to try and sell to a Western publisher. Futari would have been a much better bet.

Lolitas aside its a more accessable game. All it needs is some ghastly generic boxart and a name like "Halloween shooter witches" and it'll be a budget bin sensation!
