Some months ago Cave announced they were polishing Deathsmiles’ visuals for the Xbox 360 version. The spit and shine looks great even though Deathsmiles is still walled in by a skeletal border.
 
Don’t like the new graphics? Fine. You can play Deathsmiles without them in regular mode. Or play Deathsmiles: Mega Black Label, the latest version [...]
