Never heard of it.  it looks too japanese for me.  I'm sure goticsmiles sold tons in japan.

Its actually called Death Smile (2), I'm pretty sure it is a sequal from all reference but I cannot find the original on Play-Asia and they are advertising the 360 version as 'Death Smile' only rather than 'Death Smile 2'.

Classic Shmup, reminds me of Touhou (except its a sidescroller) which is a grade of awesome souce all on its own. If this is region free I will import from Play-Asia.

Deathsmiles is a horizontally-scrolling Shmup from Cave, a company with a high pedigree in the genre. Sidescrollers aren't my cup o' tea, but if Manabu Namiki is doing the music again, I hope he's got over his tendency to recycle (E.G. Mushihimesama / Mushihimesama Futari soundtrack).
