Cave exhibited their latest shooter dubbed Death Smiles a few weeks ago at this year's AOU Show and location tests began just recently in Japan. In a quick transition from show to operator sales, preorders are now welcome for the initial run of the game which is expected to ship on October 19. Perhaps it's fitting that Death Smiles is being released 12 days before Halloween since the game features a spooky theme with dark forests, familiars, pumpkins, witches, and assorted monsters. True to Cave's legacy, Death Smiles is a shooter but one that scrolls horizontally.Upon popping in the required credits, a short tutorial teaches the control scheme as follows: The A-Button shoots left, the B-Button shoots right, and the C-Button unleashes a bomb. A guided projectile attack which locks onto targets may also be activated by hitting both A and B buttons.
The preorder details for Death Smiles lists the product form factor as an "exclusive pcb kit" so it's a chunk of JAMMA hardware. Pricing is set at JPY246,000 or US$2250 from NCS which includes shipping directly from Japan by way of EMS which delivers in 4-7 business days and is trackable.
