Really a shame Microsoft’s been rejecting shooters from XBLA post-Ikaruga. Stuff like this, the 5bp ports, Shooting Love, Raiden Fighters, Otomedius, etc, etc would all have guaranteed worldwide releases if they were digital downloads. :/

@wii_Hd – The comment is like two lines of text simply explaining right now the plan is not to release Deathsmiles region free. It’s possible Cave is hoping for another company to publish it internationally so they’re locking it in hopes of selling the rights.

“I think any company that includes regional coding obligates themselves to publish the game equally worldwide.”
Truer words have never been spoken. I agree with this 100%.

Can’t standing region coding either. Every time I buy a 360 game I have to watch out for compatibility (eg. Operation Darkness, Infinite Undiscovery, etc). Right now I’m waiting for the Jpn release of GTA 4.

Way would Cave want to region lock the disc anyway. Does it cost more in fees to have no region applied.

Does the Japanese blog explain.

Or do they want an overseas publisher to buy the exclusive export rights and thus possibly make more money that way.

Regional coding shouldn’t even exist. Once you buy a product companies shouldn’t be sneaking code in to micromanage the way you play it.

I think any company that includes regional coding obligates themselves to publish the game equally worldwide.
