Just curious how well received it was on your end from a business standpoint?
Did it do well enough to secure a future between you and CAVE?

Doesn't look good if they don't announce something soon, should have scooped up DSIIX and DFK by now if DS was as wildly successful as you guys are making it out to be
Here's hoping for another CAVE release before summer

I've heard that DSIIX was a terrible port so maybe that was the reason. =/
WRONG
The arcade mode is a terrible port, sure, but that's because they only included it last-minute. The HD 360 mode, the mode with the 16:9 ratio, the mode that was supposed to be the only mode, stands totally fine on it's own according to people who've actually played the game. It's people like you that give the game so much negative reception. Read EOJ's review, dude gives the game a fair shake.
Wouldn't mind seeing DFK first to mix things up a bit but I hope they pick up both at the same time and release them both within months of eachother because if they wait too long it'll be next gen and then it'll be too late

DSIIX is a fun game. It always bothers me when people on English forums go around calling it terrible just because of the graphics or whatever and never even give it a chance.
It is too easy though. Much easier to me than the original game, which most people call cave's easiest.
DS 2 port is awesome. Only game I actually have achieved 1000G on.
Hey, who the Funk and Wagnalls JUMBOCOCK -ed this topic for no reason?!? Speak up, offender of decency and the of moral turpitude!
If you're gonna rock the C0CK, at least mention His Holiness, lest ye be C0CKblocked...
Oh, I see... Quietly remove the tag and act like it never happened... You'll pay for yr crimes, be forced to wear a JUMBO scarlet "C" for what you've done!
It would be a pity not to see IIX...
Although my budget is set for the next few months.

We were reasonably satisfied with the performance of Deathsmiles, but we are not currently pursuing any other similar games.
Reasonably satisfied sounds pretty synonymous with disappointed to me. Sad to hear. Heartbreaking even. Why you guys gotta hate good games?
Guess we'll have to rely on Valcon Games or UFO to bring over more shmups :(

Well, damn. Let's hope someone over here picks up Akai Katana then.
I can see why though from a business standpoint.

Ok, that got a laugh out of me.
Glad to hear it! Also glad someone else reloaded the C0CK tag before I had to break down and J.C. it myself!

Well, now the tags for this thread are REALLY negative. Why can't we just stick with a "DeathSmiles" tag? Is that too hard? XD
What´s the matter Aksys? Not enough lolis on Cave´s remaining catalog?
at least he's honest, but still, definitely boycotting aksys until we get some more CAVE games up in here

I hope you're joking.
If cave games aren't profitable, you can't blame them not wanting to bring more over. There's no reason to boycott the rest of Aksys's work because they aren't willing to risk their jobs for your personal gaming tastes.
Just suck it up and buy a Japanese xbox. It's the only kind of xbox worth owning anyway :P
I agree with Letters, word by word. I want them to release Umineko, and we all know VN's were profitable for Aksys, but you don't see me doing that (and I even bought the JP version for that matter).
