Wow, Deathsmiles is going to look fantastic on the Xbox 360. Cave plans to add a rearrange mode for their home console version with high resolution, pre-rendered artwork. The ogre comparison shows the arcade version on the left and its Xbox 360 makeover on the right. It almost looks like Deathsmiles’ arrange mode is going to be in 2.5D! I usually don’t gush over graphics, but I like how Cave isn’t just shoving an arcade port of Deathsmiles on to a disc. They’re giving an already excellent shooter an excellent extra feature. If only 5pb’s ports were handled with this much care…
Deathsmiles will get some kind of limited edition release too. I’m guessing it’s going to come with a faceplate since more than one can be clearly seen on the developer’s desk.
