We know Cave is bringing Dodonpachi Saidaioujou for Xbox 360, but what else is the maniac shooter company working on? We picked the brain of Game Development Head Makoto Asada to see what their future plans are.

Deathsmiles, Deathsmiles IIX, Akai Katana, DoDonPachi Resurrection, Mushihimesama Futari and more in one bundle.

Earlier, Makoto Asada said their PlayStation Vita shooter wasn’t a port and an original game designed for Vita.

Cave are still looking at the PC as a potential platform.

“At this point, I think we built a solid base for ourselves for Xbox 360 development, but that doesn’t mean we are not thinking of multiplatform expansion.”

“In the way I look at it, games and hardware have to be thought of together, so for hardware to be successful you have to develop games.”

Bullet hell shooter developer Cave is teasing an announcement this week. A teaser site dates it as November 11, 2011, but the news may come out sooner through Famitsu.

While Deathsmiles was released as a retail game, Cave decided to release the sequel Deathsmiles IIX as a digital download. The idea actually came from Microsoft who wanted to dabble with digital imports.

“We are going to keep putting out games overseas strategically,” says Cave COO, Mikio Watanabe.

Cave are giving the Xbox 360 version of Red Katana a limited edition in Japan this May.

Oh, and bug Rising Star if you want more Cave games in Europe.

Deathsmiles is approaching 100,000 copies sold between the U.S. and Japanese versions of the game.

You play as lead character, Zenya Harataki, who has lost all memory of his life prior to six years ago.

Cave contacted us about their second Xbox Live Arcade title and said Nin²-Jump’s world is based on Japanese shadow plays.
