@ James A Call Well III -

They won’t. The game only uses the bottom or top screen for display – not both. The other screen will be used to keep track of your box counter, score, and other little details.

@R – Thanks for the correction. I’ll update this accordingly with Death Label instead of Level

@CRIMExTHINK – No I meant Japan, it’s only announced there at the moment.

I’m still amazed that they were able to put something like this on the DS. How will they handle bullets in the gap, though?

So, is the game coming out in Japan only or in North America as well? Your last two sentences confuse me. I’ll get this game either way, I just want to know if I should order from Play-Asia or what.

Amazing news anyway, this game has been on my “must-buy” list ever since I first heard about it (can’t remember where). The special DVD sure is a nice bonus, too.

I will probably buy the hell out of this when it drops, DSL’s unfortunate d-pad or no. Arika’s ports (…well, this isn’t exactly a port per se) have always been well worth the money spent.

FYI, Spencerâ€”it’s Death Label, not Death Level. Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou’s “boss rush” was subtitled “Death Label” as well.

Finally, I’ve been waiting for some signs of life from this game. Thanks for the report.
